Abstract

Growing rhetoric from industry-based white papers and global reports states that creativity is a vital skill for the future of work. However, despite centuries of study and debate, there remains a lack of consensus on the exact nature of the value of creativity. This scoping review followed the PRISMA-ScR guidelines with the objective of reviewing and describing the literature since 1980 to find a consensus description of the value of creativity. This review identifies a three-factor typology comprising extrinsic, instrumental, and intrinsic-inherent value as value construct propositions. The synthesis of the reviewed literature (N = 86), including a high Cohen's Kappa for interrater agreement on the articles (κ = 0.993), found that the value of creativity is predominantly instrumental and functions as a tool for achieving both extrinsic and intrinsic-inherent outcomes. This review sharpens the understanding of creativity, primarily in the subject matter area of business and workforce, by creating a value-informed basis that may be valuable for practitioners, scholars, and policymakers responsible for bolstering the rationale for a renewed focus on creativity as a vital 21st Century skill. Future research and limitations are discussed.

创造力的价值：范围界定综述

来自行业白皮书和全球报告的越来越多的言论表明，创造力是未来工作的重要技能。然而，尽管经过几个世纪的研究和辩论，对于创造力价值的确切性质仍然缺乏共识。这项范围界定审查遵循了PRISMA ScR指南，目的是审查和描述自1980年以来的文献，以找到对创造力价值的一致描述。这篇综述确定了一种三因素类型，包括外在价值、工具价值和内在内在价值，作为价值建构命题。综合已综述的文献（N=86），包括对文章的高Cohen Kappa评分（κ=0.993），发现创造力的价值主要是工具性的，是实现外在和内在结果的工具。这篇综述通过创造一个价值知情的基础，加深了对创造力的理解，主要是在商业和劳动力这一主题领域，这对从业者、学者和政策制定者来说可能很有价值，他们负责支持重新关注创造力这一21世纪的重要技能。讨论了未来的研究和局限性。
