Revisiting Individual Creativity Assessment: Triangulation in Subjective and Objective Assessment Methods (2016, background): “…some studies showed intrinsic motivation as critical to creativity (e.g., Amabile, 1979, 1985; Amabile, Hill, Hennessey, & Tighe, 1994); others reported that the relationship was, at best, weak and/or statistically nonsignificant (e.g., Dewett, 2007; PerrySmith, 2006; Shalley et al., 2000).”
Motivational antecedents to high-tech R&D employees' innovative work behavior: Self-determined motivation, person-organization fit, organization support of creativity, and pay justice (2019, methodology): “…the potential for bias, self-report measures of creativity and innovative behavior have been used in multiple studies (e.g. Dewett, 2007; Janssen, 2000; Shalley, Gilson, & Blum, 2009), and they have been found to correlate with supervisor ratings (Axtell et al., 2000; Dewett, 2007; Janssen, 2000).”
Beyond Individual Creativity (2012, background): “These individual-level factors included the Big Five personality characteristics (10 items; Gosling, Rentfrow, & Swann, 2003; Cronbach alphas ranged from .76 to .51), intrinsic motivation (2 items; Amabile, Hill, Hennessey, & Tighe, 1994; α = .80), promotion focus (2 items; Cunningham, Raye, & Johns”
Psychological capital as a mediator of the relationship between leadership and creative performance behaviors: empirical evidence from the Indian R&D sector (2014, background): “Nonsignificant-to-moderate correlations between behaviors and outcomes (e.g. Tierney, Farmer and Graen 1999; Dewett 2007) offer some support for the distinctiveness of the two constructs.”
Intrinsic and Prosocial Motivations, Perspective Taking, and Creativity (2011, background): “…studies have demonstrated that intrinsic motivation is associated with higher levels of creativity (e.g., Amabile, 1985; Amabile, Hill, Hennessey, & Tighe, 1994), whereas others have shown weak or nonsignificant associa- tions (e.g., Dewett, 2007; Perry-Smith, 2006; Shalley & Perry-Smith, 2001).”
A comparison of self-ratings and non-self-report measures of employee creativity (2012, background): “In addition, people who are high on risk taking are more willing to experiment with alternatives generally viewed as unsafe and unconventional by others (Dewett, 2007).”
Workplace duties or opportunities? Challenge stressors, regulatory focus, and creativity (2013, background): “People with a strong promotion focus tend to engage in more risky behaviors than those with a strong prevention focus (Hamstra, Bolderdijk, & Veldstra, 2011; Werth & Förster, 2007), and risk taking is associated with creativity (Dewett, 2007).”

A Critical Analysis of the Workplace Creativity Criterion Space (2012, background): “Researchers collect data from employees with a variety of job roles that may require creative performance to a varying extent (e.g., George & Zhou, 2007), but little distinction is made between contexts in which CPB performance is explicitly mandated (e.g., R&D; Dewett, 2007; Tierney & Farmer, 2004)”
