For the last two decades, researchers have built an impressive wealth of knowledge regarding how to increase creativity and have examined many concepts, including different leadership styles, motivating mechanisms, and personality traits (see Zhou & Shalley, 2011). Yet, there has been much less theory or evidence demonstrating how creativity-related encounters impact subsequent individual perceptions and behaviors. The conversation has largely centered on "How do we increase organizational and individual creativity?" and “which factors enhance that process?” My proposed research model (see figure 1) changes the direction of this conversation by exploring dyadic relationships to theorize about how one partner's creativity influences another partner's creativity, and the process through which those dyadic interactions related to creativity influence subsequent individual behavior. This study proposes to focus on the important role that dyads play in the process of expending creative effort and under what circumstances creativity between individuals may lead to differing perceptions and behaviors at a future period in time. In the current research I explore creativity focusing on its potentially interdependent nature and examine four specific questions: (1) To what extent is creative effort both an individually—through creative self-efficacy—and relationally constructed behavior? (2) What role does the level of perceived interpersonal similarity play in the creative effort between two people? (3) What are the potential attributions of social undermining and prosocial behavior that might stem from assessments of the level of creative effort expended by one’s partner? and (4) What are the resulting actor behaviors stemming from those perceptions? 2018 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1535383733531567 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1535383733531567 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
