Abstract

Purpose

Despite widespread recognition of the importance of mindfulness in organizational science literature, little is known about how mindfulness motivates individuals to configure information processing and team member exchange relationships to increase creative process engagement. Drawing on motivated information processing theory, this study conceptualizes and empirically examines whether and how mindfulness motivates individuals toward creative process engagement.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors collected data through an online survey from 311 respondents working in the Research and Development (R&D) departments of organizations in multiple industries in Pakistan. For analytical purposes, the authors have applied the structural equation modeling technique.

Findings

This study advances a different view of individual mindfulness on the creative process engagement in the following ways. First, mindfulness enables individuals to self-regulate in specific situations and become effective in fostering creative process engagement. Second, this study extends research on relational information processing by linking it to mindfulness and creative process engagement. Relational information processing partially mediates the relationship between mindfulness and creative process engagement. Third, this study highlights that mindfulness motivates individuals to focus more on developing quality working relationships, but they seem less willing to participate in idea generation and problem-solving solutions.

Originality/value

The study findings provide implications for research on mindfulness, creativity and motivated information processing to enhance individuals’ creative process engagements. The authors also discuss the implications for executives on the relational and creative benefits of mindfulness.

正念与创作过程的参与:工作场所关系系统的中介作用
目的尽管正念的重要性在组织科学文献中得到了广泛认可,但人们对正念如何激励个人配置信息处理和团队成员交流关系以提高创造性过程参与度却知之甚少。本研究借鉴动机信息处理理论,对正念是否以及如何激励个人参与创造性过程进行了概念化和实证性研究。作者通过在线调查收集了在巴基斯坦多个行业组织的研发部门工作的 311 名受访者的数据。为了便于分析,作者采用了结构方程建模技术。研究结果本研究从以下几个方面提出了个人正念对创造性过程参与的不同看法。首先,正念能使个人在特定情况下进行自我调节,并有效促进创造性过程的参与。其次,本研究将关系信息处理与正念和创造性过程参与联系起来,从而扩展了对关系信息处理的研究。关系信息处理对正念与创造性过程参与之间的关系起到了部分中介作用。第三,本研究强调,正念促使个人更加关注发展高质量的工作关系,但他们似乎不太愿意参与创意的产生和问题的解决。 原创性/价值 研究结果为正念、创造力和动机信息处理方面的研究提供了启示,以提高个人的创造性过程参与度。作者还讨论了正念在关系和创造力方面对管理人员的影响。
