“…However, employees will only apply their individual differences if they feel comfortable in the workplace. In support, Tulenko and Kryder (1990) found that employees must feel comfortable in order to be creative, which undoubtedly involves the application of individual differences. Moreover, employees from underrepresented groups often experience discrimination, exclusion, and marginalization (Goldman, Gutek, Stein, & Lewis, 2006).…”

“…We assume that P ( j,k ) will be different for individuals with high network centrality and low network centrality. Individuals being the center of the network are regarded as the major channels of information and communication, which will positively influence their cognitive judgement and make them exert more effort (Tulenko and Kryder, 2011). These individuals will be less likely to change to higher loafing states.…”

Purpose Social loafing in knowledge contribution (namely, knowledge contribution loafing [KCL]) usually happens in group context, especially in the mobile collaboration tasks. KCL shows dynamic features over time. However, most previous studies are based on static assumption, that is, KCL will not change over time. This paper aims to reveal the dynamics of KCL in mobile collaboration and analyze how network centrality influences KCL states considering the current loafing state. Design/methodology/approach This study is based on empirical study design. Real mobile collaboration behavioral data related to knowledge contribution were collected to investigate the dynamic relationship between network centrality and KCL. In total, 4,127 chat contents were collected through Slack (a mobile collaboration APP). The text data were first analyzed using the text analysis method and then analyzed by a machine learning method called hidden Markov model. Findings First, the results reveal the inner structure of KCL, showing that it has three states (low, medium and high). Second, it is found that network centrality positively influences individuals involved in medium and high loafing state, while it has a negative influence on individuals with low loafing state. Research limitations/implications The limitations are related to the single machine learning method and no subdivision of social network. First, this paper only uses one kind of text classification model (TF-IDF) to divide chat contents, which may not be superior to other classification models. This paper considers the eigenvector centrality, and not further divides the social network into advice network and expressive network. Practical implications This study helps companies infer tendency of different KCL and dynamically re-organize a mobile collaborative team for better knowledge contribution. Originality/value First, previous studies based on static assumptions regarding KCL as static and the relationship between loafing reducing mechanisms and team members KCL does not change over time. This study relaxes static assumptions and allows KCL to change during the process of collaboration. Second, this study allows the impact of network centrality to be different when members are in different KCL states.

“…Game playing, empirically tested by Tulenko and Kryder [10], is another new development for developing creativity in small groups. Tulenko and Kryder found that when group members feel at ease with one another and share a high degree of mutual trust, they work more creatively as a group.…”

Argues that with increasing global competition it has become of utmost importance for organizations to address business issues creatively. Creativity is best defined as the degree to which an employee demonstrates new ideas or applications for activities and solutions at work. Risk taking is an integral part of the creative process. There are obstacles to the full development of the creative potential of both organizations and individuals. These obstacles can be overcome with various exercises suggested by psychologists. New developments in developing creativity that have become popular in recent years include the brain skill management programme; use of Fisher association lists; game-playing in small groups; and establishing a rewardfor-creativity programme in organizations. It is equally important to implement the proposed solution to determine its effectiveness for solving organizational problems.
