“…Only factors with eigenvalues greater than one were retained in the analysis. The first factor identified through the analysis was "Value for creativity", confirming the similar factor from Basadur and Hausdorf's study [13]. This factor consisted of seven items and had a Cronbach's alpha of .65.…”

“…Outro autor com uma vasta obra na área de estilos de pensamento criativo é Basadur (1997;Basadur & Hausdorf, 1996). Para Basadur, as pessoas desenvolvem estilos preferenciais de resolução criativa de problemas, e essas preferências podem acoplar-se a uma ou a várias das fases do processo criativo.…”

Resumo O objetivo deste texto é realçar o papel do indivíduo na criatividade nas organizações. Esse papel tem sido estranhamente remetido para um plano secundário, à medida que as modernas visões da criatividade a definem, sobretudo, com relação ao contexto em que ocorre. De fato, na perspectiva atual, a criatividade não pode ser entendida sem se considerarem os contextos funcional, relacional e organizacional nos quais está inserido o trabalhador. Tais são as considerações da maior parte dos autores que escreve sobre o tópico, como sejam Amabile (1996), Csikszentmihalyi (1996), ou, mais recentemente, Glăveanu (2010a, 2010b). Essa corrente dominante, com origem no interacionismo psico-social, tem ainda influenciado o desenvolvimento teórico de outros conceitos em psicologia, sociologia, e, na sequência, nas ciências sociais e humanas, e na gestão. Essa supremacia no que concerne a criatividade, tem conduzido os autores a olvidar o papel do indivíduo no processo e no resultado criativos, chegando a retirar-lhe a responsabilidade e o protagonismo pela geração e produção de ideias. Desse modo, no presente texto, recuperam-se os argumentos em favor da centralidade da pessoa na criatividade, defendendo-se que esta tem uma existência isolada de influências externas, e que, como tal, devem relembrar-se as bases individuais da criatividade.

“…Simplified Basadur's creative problem solving method According to Puccio et al (2006) research, the impact of CPS in the workplace can take place in three areas: the individual's attitudes; the individual's behaviour and; its effects on groups. For example, in the study run by Basadur & Hausdorf (1996), they concluded that CPS procedures produced changes in behaviour when attitudes towards divergent thinking had been changed into a positive way; also, CPS training improved the fluency in producing solutions to problems. As to groups, CPS training improved work group climate, communication, interpersonal relations and problem solving outcomes.…”

Abstract:This research focuses on the development of entrepreneurship projects, using the creative problem solving (CPS) methodology and aims at demonstrating its effectiveness in improving team commitment to entrepreneurship projects. The design follows an adaptation of the 8-step process of Basadur's problem solving approach (Basadur, 1997), into a 5-step procedure, consisting of fact finding, problem definition, solution finding and action planning. These steps are carried out in two four-hour sessions, using specific techniques that link creative people and management in order to develop a plan of action, thus initiating a system of transformation of the individual and team creativity into organizational innovation.Forty M.A. students, organized in four groups (two in art education and two in tourist entrepreneurship) were submitted to a pre-post test regarding team commitment, prior and after two 4-hour problem solving sessions, following one objective provided by the course director. At the end of the sessions they were also required to fill in a form where they were asked to express their evaluation of the method. Each project designed is now under 2 implementation, and each group is registering all the necessary data to allow for the following up of the project.Results indicated an improvement in individual attitude towards emotional team commitment, during CPS sessions, as well as positive evaluations of the method. The possibilities of making a joint project, using the CPS method, were also demonstrated.Further research is expected once the projects are carried away and more teams involve in the construction of original entrepreneurship projects.
