Moderating effect of Zhong Yong on the relationship between creativity and innovation behaviour (2010, background): “Thus, they might easily abandon their own opinions in the face of opposition in an effort to find a solution broadly accepted by others, rather than standing by their own ideas as the creativity to innovation transition requires (Kaufmann, 2003).”
Taking personal initiative and communicating about ideas: What is important for the creative process and for idea creativity? (2007, background): “Some authors proposed to distinguish between different types of creativity (Kaufmann, 2003; Unsworth, 2001), and they expected that the process can vary accordingly (Lubart, 2001; Unsworth, 2001).”
Measuring entrepreneurial self-efficacy to understand the impact of creative activities for learning innovation (2014, background): “One major issue, as Kaufmann (2003) notes, is that there is a lot of research that has focused on a “’bottom-up’ perspective, where development of tests of creativity have taken priority over the clarification of basic conceptual and theoretical issues.””
On the Usefulness of “Value” in the Definition of Creativity (2015, background): “In sum, we gain much in clarity from removing value from our definition, and we lose nothing by retaining novelty (for a discussion of some additional issues surrounding the concept of novelty as involved in defining creativity, see Kaufmann, 2003).”
Creativity.4in1: Four-Criterion Construct of Creativity (2014, background): “These considerations prompted Kaufmann (2003) to make a rather bitter conclusion that ‘‘the field of creativity research was declared somewhat of a scientific disaster area’’ (p. 235).”
