“…Specifically, modern challenges necessitate the adoption of a new way of thinking, where creative problem-finding and solving plays a key role (Fontenot, 1993). The value of stimulating creativity in elders is to improve functioning at all levels (Sierpina & Cole, 2004), especially in the area of mental health (Cropley, 1990).…”

A demand for fostering creativity has become a universal discourse across different nations, reflecting globalization of economic activity. Teachers play a key role in promoting creative thinking through appropriate approaches in the classroom. Because a number of studies indicate that most creativity research focuses on children rather on adults, the purpose of this meta-analytic study is to investigate the effects of creativity training on adults. It is hoped that by providing evidence-based findings, adult educators could consider fostering creativity in adult classrooms. The results confirm the findings of previous meta-analysis indicating that creativity training is effective on adults. The magnitude of this finding indicates creativity training is promising for increasing adults' creative thinking.

“…Desde una perspectiva humanista se enfatiza que el equilibrio, el autocontrol emocional y la salud mental son requisitos para llegar a la autorrealización y a la creatividad primaria (e.g., Cropley, 1990;Maslow, 1968;Schmid, 2006). Esta perspectiva teórica relaciona positivamente la creatividad, el desarrollo personal y la salud psicoló-gica.…”

PALABRAS CLAVECreatividad; Personalidad; Pensamiento divergente; Generalidadespecificidad de dominio; Cinco GrandesResumen Este artículo tiene por objetivo ofrecer una visión completa y actualizada de las relaciones entre creatividad y personalidad. Se presenta una revisión crítica de las relaciones entre los distintos rasgos de personalidad, fundamentalmente desde los modelos de los Cinco Grandes (FFM) y de los Tres Gigantes, y la creatividad. Se reflexiona en torno a las repercusiones que el debate sobre la generalidad-especificidad de dominio conlleva sobre la relación entre creatividad y personalidad, y se presentan los hallazgos de los estudios más recientes con muestras por dominios. Se revisan propuestas teóricas que tienen como objetivo superar la fragmentación y el estancamiento del campo, conciliar las evidencias empíricas aparentemente contradictorias, y progresar hacia una teoría integrada sobre la relación entre personalidad y creatividad. Finalmente se describen los retos y líneas de investigación futuras que el campo tiene por delante. © 2017 Universitat de Barcelona. Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U.

KEYWORDSCreativity; Personality; Divergent thinking; Domain generality-specificity; Big Five Model Creativity and personality across domains: A critical reviewAbstract The aim of this paper is to provide an update of the literature on the relationship between creativity and personality. Personality traits from Three Giants and Big Five (FFM) models show complex relationships with creativity. It reflects on the impact that the domain generality-specificity debate has had on the creativity-personality relationship. The main findings of recent studies within specific domains are also presented. Theoretical proposals that aim to overcome the fragmentation and stagnation of the field are reviewed. They try to reconcile contradictory empirical evidence and progress towards an integrated understanding of the * Autor para correspondencia. Correo electrónico: Vicente.Alfonso@uv.es (V.

“…Conscientious individuals are also persistent and, thus, unlikely to give up in the face of difficulty (Colquitt & Simmering, 1998), and that capacity for self-discipline and hard work is key to creative performance (Cropley, 1990). Moreover, conscientious individuals, due to their meticulousness and organised way of thinking and working, are likely to conceive and screen a wider, more systematic range of different combinations of existing ideas for serving customers.…”

Personality and the creativity of frontline service employees: Linear and curvilinear effectsPrevious studies have investigated the relationship between the Five Factor model of personality and creativity. As this model has been criticised for providing a limited account of an individual's personality, this study considers additional personality traits that have recently been investigated in the literature as determinants of employee behaviour. Moreover, we also contribute to the existing body of literature by conducting this study in a services setting, for which we predict personality traits will exert differentiated effects on creativity when compared to other settings. Finally, while past research has focused on linear effects, this study examines the existence of nonlinear effects between personality and creativity. The results indicate that personality traits apart from the Five Factor model have an impact on creativity and that the effects of several personality traits on the creativity of frontline service employees differ from those obtained in other settings. Lastly, the findings also show that five of the personality traits have non-linear effects on creativity, and this may be a stimulus for a new stream of research in the human resources literature.Keywords: creativity; personality; service employees; linear and curvilinear effects Personality and the creativity of frontline service employees: Linear and curvilinear effects IntroductionCreativity refers to the development of ideas about goods, services, processes, and practices, which are novel and likely to be useful to an organisation (Shalley, Zhou, & Oldham, 2004).Whereas creativity reflects the development of these ideas at the individual level, innovation concerns the organisational implementation of such ideas (Amabile, 1996). Due to the belief that creativity is paramount not only to greater customer experiences and customer satisfaction (e.g. Coelho, Augusto, & Lages, 2011;Daly, Grove, Dorsch, & Fisk, 2009), but also organisational innovation and ultimately performance (Amabile, Barsade, Mueller, & Straw, 2005;Chen, Shih, & Yeh, 2011;Jiang, Wang, & Zhao, 2012;Liu, 2013), employee creativity has been attracting growing research attention (e.g. Probst, Stewart, Gruys, & Tierney, 2007).
