Effectiveness of creativity training and its relation to selected personality factors
This exploratory study assesses the effectiveness of the Creative Problem Solving Program (Parnes, Noller and Biondi, 1977) for increasing the ideational fluency, flexibility and originality of trainees in a Master of Business Administration program. Pre‐ and post‐training performances of trainees ( N = 32) on the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (verbal) are compared with a control group of MBA students ( N = 44). Compared to the control grou…
Effect of Assimilation of Work Experience on Growth Satisfaction
Responding to the weak evidence for moderating effects of growth need strength on the growth satisfaction/job enrichment relationship, Bottger and Chew (1986) argue that capacity rather than need for growth should be studied. They show that "assimilation of work experience" (A WE), a measure of the individual's affective responses to work performance variations, does explain variance in growth satisfaction independent of job scope and context sat…
The Job Characteristics Model and Growth Satisfaction
This article argues that behaviors which predict individual variance in satisfaction do not necessarily co-exist with the need for activities which lead to satisfaction. Specifically, we examine the effect of sensitivity to performance variations on growth satisfaction. We label this sensitivity "assimilation of work experience" (A WE). In contrast to growth need strength (GNS), A WE is shown to have a main effect on growth satisfaction independe…
