Creativity development and Mode 2 theory development: Event system and experiential learning perspectives
研究了结构化干预如何通过事件系统理论和体验学习过程,促进员工创造力知识、技能和态度的发展,并推动学术与利益相关者合作中的理论构建。
Abstract Literature on academic‐stakeholder collaboration in the context of HRM is scarce and highlights the challenges linking theory to practice. Drawing on Mode 2 research, we theorise how a structured intervention enables the generation of theoretical insights concerning the development of employee creativity knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs). Utilising event system theory, we reveal how the novelty, criticality, and disruption of a structured intervention fuel an experiential learning process. This process facilitates the development of important individual and team‐based creativity KSAs and is sustained through a learning mindset. We develop insights about theories‐in‐use, HRM theory development, and the micro processes involved in an academic‐stakeholder collaboration including areas of potential tension. From a practice perspective, we highlight the value of structured interventions for creativity KSA development and a strategy to facilitate academic‐stakeholder collaboration.
