| 其他摘要 | Implicit theory, also known as naïve theory or implicit belief, refers to people's basic understanding of the nature and operation of people, things, and phenomena in the world and their surroundings based on common sense, intuition, or personal experience. People also form their own implicit beliefs about how ideas are generated, i.e., beliefs about the creative process. Previous research on beliefs about the creative process has focused on what behaviors and ways contribute to the generation of ideas. Lucas and Mai's (2022) latest theories suggest that people's naïve understanding of where ideas come from is central to their beliefs about the creative process. The theory holds that there are two contrasting implicit views: the epiphany view and the generative view. Epiphany people often believe that a high level of creativity comes from epiphany and unexpected inspiration, that it is not transferred by personal will, and that it cannot be predicted or planned in advance. Those who hold the view of life advocate that high-level creativity comes from systematic conception and positive action, and is the product of personal systematic analysis, in-depth thinking, gradual advancement, and continuous improvement. However, the theory is still in the research conception stage, and it lacks the scales that meet the requirements of reliability and validity, which is not conducive to empirical research. In addition, the existing studies mainly focus on how beliefs in the creative process affect individual creativity and innovation output, while relatively ignoring how implicit beliefs about creativity affect cooperative innovation. As the requirements of creative tasks become more complex, teams have become the basic unit for engaging in creative tasks. How to choose the right teammates to form a team and carry out collaborative innovation is very important.
In view of this, this study first developed a measurement scale for epiphany and generative belief based on the latest theory of Lucas and Mai (2022) belief in the creation process and tested their reliability and validity. The developed measurement scale was used to explore the influence of people's epiphany or generative perception on people's choice of cooperative innovation partners, and further revealed the internal mechanism of belief in the creative process affecting partner choice.
In this study, two studies were conducted to explore the above questions, respectively. In the development of the test scale in study 1, the compilation and reliability and validity of the scale were carried out through six sub-studies, such as the compilation of the test scale, the structure of factors, the validity of aggregation and discrimination, the reliability of test-retest, the validity of the surface, the relationship between individual differences and beliefs in the creative process, and the results showed that the test scales on epiphany and generative view developed in this study met the requirements of various reliability and validity indicators of psychometric measures. Ability to adequately and effectively measure the individual's beliefs about the creative process.Study 2 explores how beliefs in the creative process affect the selection of co-innovation partners through two studies. Study 2a preliminarily verified the predictive effect of belief in the creation process on personnel choice through correlation test and binary logistic regression, and the results showed that people with epiphany view were more willing to choose candidates with the same epiphany beliefs when choosing work partners, and those with life view were also more willing to choose candidates with the same beliefs as themselves. Study 2b explores the influence of creative process beliefs on personnel selection and the possible mediating mechanisms, and the results show that matching factors such as person-job matching, person-team matching, and subordinate-leader matching are the mediating variables of creative process beliefs predicting personnel selection, and people have a higher evaluation of candidates with the same beliefs as themselves, so they are more likely to choose candidates with the same beliefs as themselves.
This study provides a measurement tool that meets the requirements of reliability and validity for the follow-up empirical study of creation process beliefs. Further research also shows that the implicit creativity beliefs held by individuals also affect how people engage in collaborative innovation, which provides new ideas for followup research. |
