摘要

组织内部和跨组织的创造性过程不仅与自由有关,而且与约束有关。通过辩证过程的视角,我们研究了创意人员实际上是如何参与约束的,以及约束是如何随着时间的推移而出现、展开和终止的。基于对人种学的观察和对流行音乐歌曲创作团队的采访,我们发现合作者不仅仅是体验约束,而且还积极地利用约束。这样做使词曲作者能够处理约束,并在稳定、生成和灵活的约束特征之间进行振荡,从而推动创作过程。尽管一些结构性约束的持久性,这些发现有助于通过将约束概念化为相互交织的、可塑的,甚至是在参与者展开时可转换的,来研究组织创造力。因此,研究结果通过指出需要在程序上在稳定性和流动性之间交替的某些约束特征的关键作用,扩展了目前对具有约束的创造力的理解。

Organizing Creativity With Constraints—Insights From Popular Music Songwriting Teams
Creative processes within and across organizations have not only been associated with freedom but also with constraints. By taking a dialectical process perspective, we examine how creatives actually engage with constraints and how constraints thereby emerge, unfold and terminate over time. Based on ethnographic observations and interviews with popular music songwriting teams, we found that collaborators do not simply experience but also actively utilize constraints. Doing so enables songwriters to process constraints and to organize for an oscillation between stable, generative, and flexible constraint characterizations, fueling the creative process. Notwithstanding the persistent nature of some structural constraints, these findings contribute to research on organizing creativity by conceptualizing constraints as intertwined, malleable and even transformable by actors as they unfold. Thereby, the findings extend the current understanding of creativity with constraints by pointing to the crucial role of certain constraint characterizations that need to alternate procedurally between stability and fluidity.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Management Inquiry, sponsored by the Western Academy of Management, is a refereed journal for scholars and professionals in management, organizational behavior, strategy, and human resources. Its intent is to explore ideas and build knowledge in management theory and practice, with a focus on creative, nontraditional research as well as key controversies in the field. The journal seeks to maintain a constructive balance between innovation and quality, and at the same time widely define the forms that relevant contributions to the field can take. JMI features six sections: Meet the Person, Provocations, Reflections on Experience, Nontraditional Research, Essays, and Dialog.
