“…Results also show that creativity is important for worker performance (Horng, Tsai, & Chung, 2016) and that vacation can promote creativity (de Bloom, Ritter, Kuhnel, Reinders & Geurts, 2014). Also work/learning environment is a key piece for improving/increasing creativity (Liu, 2017;Li & Liu, 2016;Horng, Tsai, Liu, & Chung, 2015;Horng, Tsai, Yang, Liu, & Hu, 2016;Tsai, Horng, Liu, Hu, 2015;Tsaur, Yen, Yang, 2011). These overall conclusions lead us to believe that there is a concern for the system workers personal characteristics and a somewhat recognition of their importance for tourism growth and to the development of new ideas to the system.…”

Purpose -Optimism, creativity, and spirituality are important variables in Positive Psychology that can lead to better lives. The authors believe these are also fundamental concepts that can bring a new understanding of the tourism experiences, particularly in the current trend of the 'experience economy'. The study aimed to explore optimism, creativity, and spirituality from a Positive Psychology perspective on tourism settings to deepen the understanding of the state of the art and develop ideas for improvement of tourism research experiences Design -An extensive systematic literature review was developed anchored on PRISMA (2009) guidelines. The search engine Online Knowledge Library (B-On) was used and the search terms 'Optimism', 'Creativity' and 'Spirituality' crossed individually with 'Tourism', 'Travel' and 'Visitor'. In-depth analysis considering the chosen inclusion/exclusion criteria were undertaken concluding with a sample of 31 references. Findings -Overall, results showed a lack of optimism studies on tourism, leading to an urgent need to endeavor in the challenge of developing research. Creativity in tourism is mainly used as a background for the place and its culture and considers organizational, structural and product innovation development. Further, tourism can be seen as a spiritual activity seeking personal enrichment and fulfillment. Originality of the research -This study considers three variables not usually applied to tourism contexts as is clear by the low number of references found. The application of these and consequently of Positive Psychology on tourism is per se new, allowing the emergence of novel and important discussions on tourism.

“…Palabras clave: Conducta cívica organizativa Conflicto relacional Invasión de privacidad Empatía Ajuste persona-organización Percepción de hacinamiento To date, theory and research on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) have largely focused on causes arising from the psychosocial characteristics of work environment (teamwork atmosphere, leadership, perceptions of justice, corporate values; Takeuchi, Bolino, & Lin, 2015), whereas physical labor conditions (lighting, noise, workspace density, temperature, visual privacy, and so on) have received relatively little systematic attention. Despite this gap, previous studies have suggested that physical labor conditions may lead employees to exhibit emotions, attitudes, and behaviors (for example, Ashkanasy, Ayoko, & Jehn, 2014;Brown, Lawrence, & Robinson, 2005;Horng, Tsai, Yang, & Liu, 2016;Yeh & Huan, 2017). Thus, the main purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between physical labor conditions and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB).…”

A B S T R A C TBased on the Affective Events Theory (AET), this paper proposes a model of how the level of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) directed at individuals (peers) (OCB-I) declines to the extent that physical conditions in offices make employees experience crowding perceptions and privacy invasions from peers. We hypothesize that: 1) crowding perceptions and privacy invasions by peers are related to employees' feelings of relational conflict with peers; 2) relational conflict negatively relates to OCB-I; and 3) this decrease in OCB-I is mediated by the employee's person-organization fit (POF) and empathic concern. A direct path from crowding perceptions and privacy invasions to OCB-I is also postulated. Data were collected from 299 respondents working in open-plan offices at four IT-based companies in Tehran, Iran. Results found significant positive links of relational conflict to privacy invasion, crowding perceptions and OCB-I; and from privacy invasion to OCB-I. Furthermore, POF and empathic concern mediated the link between conflict and OCB-I. The findings suggest that managers can promote OCB-I by regulating not only the psychosocial conditions of the work environment, but also the physical conditions.

“…Factors that can increase the human ability to create new and adaptive ideas or products have continuously drawn creativity researchers' attention. Personality research has demonstrated that certain traits are conducive to creativity (e.g., Dahmen-Wassenberg, K€ ammerle, Unterrainer, & Fink, 2016;Ding, Deng, Tang, Posner, & Tang, 2015;Horng, Hu, Tsai, Yang, & Liu, 2016). Indeed, Feist (1998) indicated that personality psychology and creativity share common traits because personality psychology examines uniqueness of an individual's ability to create new adaptive ideas or products while the latter reflects their unique ideas and behaviors.…”

Studies indicate that there is a positive relationship between openness to experience and creativity. However, relatively little attention has been given to the mechanism of this relationship. On the basis of previous findings, we hypothesized a conceptual model and tested the mediating role of intrinsic motivation and the creative process engagement in the relationship between openness to experience and creativity. One hundred and ninety‐eight undergraduates in Malaysia participated in the study and completed an online measure of openness to new experience, creativity, intrinsic motivation, and the creative process engagement. Consistent with the hypothesis, people who scored high on openness reported high intrinsic motivation. The high motivation enhanced engagement in creativity‐related activities, which in turn, improved self‐rated creativity. The findings not only shed light on mechanisms that underlie in the openness‐creativity linkage but they also highlight the importance of intrinsic motivation and creative process engagement in the linkage. Together, the study extends the effect of personality trait on creativity and offers a new direction for future studies.
