Dimensions of Creative Climate: A General Taxonomy

Dimensions of Creative Climate: A General Taxonomy

In consideration of what makes organizations innovative, creative climate stands as a significant contributor. To this point, however, researchers have been forced to choose from a wide range of dimensional conceptualizations when conducting creative climate research. By proposing that climate is important to creativity to the extent that it facilitates a work-context for innovation, 14 creative climate dimensions were derived. These dimensions were examined, via a coding process, in relation to the taxonomies existing in the literature. As a whole, the results suggest that the proposed taxonomy is a useful framework, providing common ground for researchers to better explore the exact nature and impact of creative climate on organizational innovation.
