“…Likewise, the cognitive changes might differ depending on the task performed after the prime. For example, a previous study has shown that achievement priming does not affect behavioral outcomes for decision‐making tasks (Bartelt, Dennis, Yuan, & Barlow, ). Individuals under the influence of an achievement prime might not exhibit the same cognitive changes during a convergence task such as decision making as individuals performing a conveyance task such as brainstorming because of the nature of the task.…”

We build on prior theory and research on electronic brainstorming to examine how achievement priming influences individual cognition leading to changes in individual behavior and ultimately team performance. We conducted a repeated measures experiment using electroencephalography with 53 subjects performing two brainstorming tasks. We found that priming altered cognition in the left and right regions of the frontal cortex; that is, achievement priming triggered cognition in areas of the brain related to creative and insightful cognition while the placebo treatment led to cognition in areas related to language production. Thus, priming did not induce “more” cognition, but rather triggered changes in the nature of cognition that led to significantly more ideas and more ideas that were highly novel, workable, and relevant. This study makes two contributions: it shows one theoretical pathway by which achievement priming works; and it show that priming using pictures improves idea generation.

“…We used priming as a method to induce collectivism. Priming is a cognitive phenomenon where individuals are exposed to a stimulus that activates their implicit memory and leads to unintentional subsequent behaviors [8]. Priming has been used successfully as an experimental technique in social psychology (e.g., [46]) and very recently in brainstorming teams research [8,23].…”

“…In addressing this issue, CSCW and HCI scholars have explored how priming can be used to design more effective systems to support creativity (e.g., [41,69]). Priming is a psychological phenomenon where individuals are exposed to a stimulus that can change their subsequent behaviors [8]. For example, Lewis et al [69] primed participants in their study by showing them pictures and found that it increased idea generation.…”

Does Collectivism Inhibit Individual Creativity?

One particular problem CSCW and HCI scholars have sought to address through the design of collaborative systems is the issues associated with diversity and creativity. Diversity can promote creativity by exposing individuals to different perspectives and at the same time make it difficult for teams to leverage their differences to be more creative. This paper asserts that through the promotion of cooperation, collectivism will help ideation team members overcome the challenges associated with diversity and promote creativity. To examine this assertion, we conducted an experimental study involving 107 individuals in 33 idea-generation teams. Collectivism was promoted through priming. The results confirm our assertion: collectivism created conditions that facilitated creativity when teams were high in perceived diversity. Collectivism also facilitated more satisfaction among teammates by offsetting negative perceptions of diversity. These results offer new insights on collectivism, perceived diversity and creativity.

“…Team members can generate a lot of original ideas (Chen, Shih & Yeh, 2011), so some tools (e.g., brainstorming) are specially designed to maximize individuals' input through team processes to generate innovative outputs in software development projects (Rietzschel, Nijstad & Stroebe, 2010). For example, brainstorming sessions help the teams change their behaviours, routines and decision-making processes by way of disseminating and integrating creative ideas (Bartelt et al, 2013). Alternatively, through problem solving, teams integrate creative ideas into their knowledge structures (Gehani, 2011).…”

“…Decision making in high technology projects is a complex process, in which challenging ideas, comments and attitudes from creative individuals need to be considered (Bartelt et al, 2013). In a team setting, individuals continuously exchange their ideas so that a team has a larger pool of alternatives than any one individual has (McNamara, Dennis & Carte, 2008).…”

This study investigates how individual creativity is related to the quality of team decision processes and team climate, and the mediating role of team decision processes between individual creativity and team climate. A multi-level theoretical model was proposed and partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was conducted on a sample of 139 software development projects. The results suggest that: (i) individual creativity improves the quality of team decision processes, (ii) team decision processes are positively associated with four dimensions of team climate (organizational support, innovation orientation, goal orientation and informal structure), and (iii) team decision processes partially mediate between individual creativity and team climate. In particular, the obtained results stress the role of individual creativity in the formation and evolution of a positive climate by means of team decision processes. The study implies that managers should recognize the value of creative individuals as the basic source of competitive advantage and success. It further discusses the managerial implications of the findings as well as limitations and constructive new directions for future studies to improve software development team performance.
