“…Oldham et al (1995) found further that the best explanation for the increases in jobperformance and organizational satisfaction was the improved ability of personal-stereo users to relax while working. The effects were greatest for employees in relatively simple jobs; in fact, listening was more hindrance than help for employees with extremely complex jobs.…”

“…Because more complex jobs can inherently entail creativity and involve supervisor assignments of creative individuals (and therefore influence supervisor ratings of creativity) into those more complex jobs, job complexity was included as a control variable. Oldham, Cummings, Mischel, Schmidtke, and Zhou's (1995) two-item scale was used to assess job complexity on the supervisor survey. A sample item is: ''How much training is required for a person to successfully complete this job?''…”

This study examined 2 variables often assumed to be positively related in research examining creativity in the workplace: an employee's objective creativity (independent of supervisor perceptions) and a supervisor's rating of that employee's creativity at work. This direct relationship was examined not only to explore if the common assumption of correlation was indeed well-founded, but also to consider a relational aspect of supervisor perceptions of creativity at work. Specifically, perceived probability of successfully bringing ideas to a supervisor's attention was tested as a moderator of the relationship between employee creativity and supervisor perceptions of employee creativity at work. This study found that employee creativity, measured objectively and independently of a supervisor's perception, was not significantly related to supervisor ratings of creativity. However, when employees perceived a high probability of successfully bringing ideas to a supervisor's attention, that relationship was strongly positive. This study points to the importance of research distinguishing between objectively generating ideas and being evaluated as creative. Also, this research highlights how supervisor perceptions of an employee's creativity at work more closely approximates employee creativity when the employee perceives success in gaining a supervisor's attention for ideas.Correspondence should be sent to Amy E.

“…Likewise paintings or symbolic objects or aesthetic symbols serve as emotional cues and exert an influence on emotions and a corresponding climate (Seago, 1996;Wasserman, Rafaeli & Kluger, 2000). Music is believed by many to improve mood during work (Oldham, Cummings, Mischel, Schmidtke & Zhou, 1995). The clothing employees wear acts to symbolize social identities and power, whilst simultaneously serving the communication of values (Pratt & Rafaeli, 1997).…”
