Define and examine the three types of support for creativity in organizations.
What will be an ideal response?
*Organizational support. This involves environmental factors that are controlled by the organization,
which can either stimulate or stifle creativity
*Creativity flourishes when employees are provided with the autonomy and resources they need to
implement their concepts, and when they are given license to take risks. In addition, organizations that
provide appropriate rewards and feedback, and that encourage a collaborative environment, tend to
possess a more creative culture
*Supervisory support. The employees perception of their supervisor as supportive or not can impact
creativity
*Supervisors who communicate, set clear goals, and are confident and protective of their teams tend to
nurture a creative environment
*Workgroup support. How well a group works together, communicates, and the commitment level to their
work can affect the creativity process of an individual
*A group that is a cohesive unit that communicates well with each other, respects the individuals in the
unit, and demonstrates commitment to their work will provide the comfort and support to be creative
