“…Finally, CSTCT (2002), James (2008a), Drown (2008), andSeifert (2007) also make the case for technical systems influencing organization members' creativity, as well as members' creativity affecting the effectiveness of technical systems. This leads to the following research proposition:…”

“…It was not, therefore, terrorism (for discussion of goal-driven negative actions such as terrorism versus unintended negative consequences such as the BP oil platform explosion, see James & Drown, 2008). So, we can distinguish among (primarily) natural disasters, (primarily) human/technology-caused disasters, and terrorism, and there are likely to be differences in how and in what ways organizations need to prepare for and respond to each.…”

SummaryThe organizational science of disaster and terrorism is underdeveloped. In an effort to help promote it and, based on a review of existing literature as well as lessons learned from the process of developing the special issue, two models and derived sample propositions for future research are offered. The models span multiple levels and use system, network, and identity theories to tie together key constructs. Existing conceptual views of, and research on, organizations and disaster/terrorism are considered, and missing and under-researched concepts are identified. Proposed linkages among constructs are offered to produce nomological networks for the organizational science of disaster/terrorism intended to help guide the future development of the field.

“…Dark creativity is defined as the use of original ideas to gain an unfair advantage through manipulation (Cropley, 2010a) or even to deliberately damage others (Cropley, Kaufman, White, & Chiera, 2014). This other side of the coin is related to dishonesty, lying, and lack of integrity (Beaussart, Andrews, & Kaufman, 2013;Gino & Ariely, 2012;Walczyk, Runco, Tripp, & Smith, 2008), physical aggressiveness (Lee & Dow, 2011), crime (Eisenman, 2008), and terrorism (James & Drown, 2008). An exemplary case of dark creativity in marketing went public in September 2015 when Martin Shkreli, CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals, dramatically increased the price for Daraprim from US$13.50 to US$750 per pill.…”

Creativity is seen as a significant driver for successful marketing activities. However, little attention is paid to its shady side and little research on the prerequisites for unethical behaviour of marketing experts and executives is on hand. In our experimental study, we examine the mutual influence of power, honesty-humility, and benevolent creativity as predictors for 'dark creativity' (the use of creative ideas for malevolent actions). Participants (N ¼ 387) were randomly assigned to a high vs. low power condition (role of marketing director vs. marketing intern). Dark creativity was correlated to benevolent creativity, power motive, and honesty-humility, but did not depend on the power condition participants have been assigned to. In a hierarchical regression analysis only benevolent creativity and power motive predicted dark creativity. Additional variance was explained by role identification. This article is the first to investigate the impact of power on creativity in an immoral occupational task. Our findings support the concept of dark creativity as a combination of cognitive abilities and motivational aspects. The manipulation of power condition should be replicated in further research.

“…Иллюстрируя эту мысль, он приводит следующие аргументы: во-первых, новизна продукта снижается в ситуации конкуренции и соревнования, а во-вторых, эффективность продукта может расти со временем, как в случае идей различных лидеров, борющихся за гражданские права [Spooner, 2008]. Критику К.Джеймс (K.James) и Д.Драун (D.Drown) можно свести к замечаниям о том, что предложенная Д.Кроплей и коллегами модель ограничена рамками терроризма, и ее следует расширить до модели, объясняющей и другие аспекты поведения, в которых воплощается негативная креативность [James, Drown, 2008].…”

Рассмотрены накопленные к настоящему моменту в зарубежной и отечественной психологии знания о феномене асоциальной креативности и факторах, способствующих ее проявлению в девиантном поведении. Приведены формы поведения, в которых может реализоваться и реализуется творческий потенциал асоциальной направленности. Описаны два вида асоциальной креативности, выделяемые зарубежными авторами: негативная и вредоносная. Основанием для выделения данных видов является интенциальность нанесения вреда. Представлены подходы к пониманию и изучению творческого потенциала, используемого для нанесения вреда. Рассмотрена функциональная модель креативности и ее применение для создания мер и решений по противодействию террористическим актам. Выделены ситуационные и личностные характеристики, знание о которых помогает прогнозированию и профилактике реализации креативного потенциала в агрессивном поведении. Осуществляется анализ методов исследования асоциальной креативности. Выделяются перспективные направления дальнейшего изучения вредоносной креативности, реализуемой в разного вида девиантном поведении. Делается вывод о необходимости исследования взаимодействия личностных и ситуационных характеристик, провоцирующих применение творческих способностей во вред другим.
