Inthisstudy,wereviewpersonalfactorsofcreativityandinno- vation.Tothisend,theavailablemeta-analysesonthesubject(see Table1)aresynthesizedandtheimpactoftheresultsisdiscussed intermsoftheworkdomain.Beforethis,wewillreviewtherela- tionshipbetweencreativityandinnovation,giventhatthelatteris theapplicationoftheformerinorganizations.Wewillalsoinvesti- gatethecreativecontextandprocessinordertohighlighttherole ofpersonalfactorsincreativity.
Creativityandinnovation
Bothconcepts share thegeneration of new ideas and prac- tices.Innovationisthesuccessfulimplementationofcreativeideas (Hennessey&Amabile,2010)andinthis senseisunderstoodas a broadprocess which includesthegeneration ofideas orcre- ativitybutalsotheapplicationoftheseinrealenvironments(at work,ineducation,etc.).Creativityisaboutabsolutenovelty,while ininnovationrelative newnessmayincludetheapplicationin a newordifferentwayofproducts,procedures,orprocesseswhich havealreadybeenusedinadifferentplace(Anderson,DeDrew,&
Nijstad,2004).
Socialcontextandcreativity
The context in which creativity is developed is a further factor to take into account in its analysis (Baas, De Dreu, &
Nijstad,2008;Davis,2009;Hammond,Neff,Farr,Schwall,&Zhao, 2011;Hülsheger,Anderson,&Salgado,2009b;Hunter,Bedell,&
Mumford, 2007; Kozbelt, Beghetto, & Runco,2010; Ma, 2009).
Weproposeaninteractionalmodelwhichsuggeststhatinorder toanalyzeinnovationinorganizationsitisnecessarytoconsider differentlevels: individual, group,and organizational (Amabile, 1996;Csikszentmihalyi,2011;Hülshegeretal.,2009b;Sternberg&
Lubart,1995).Anorganizationalcontextrichinresourcesandwith complexandautonomousrolesreinforcescreativity(Costa,Páez, Sánchez,Gondim,&Rodríguez,2014),whileitisintheinteraction withthepersonalfactorsofcreativity(seeTable2)thatinnovation isreinforced.
Creativityasaprocess
Different authors (see for example Amabile, 1996; Basadur, Basadur,&Licina,2012;Csikszentmihalyi,2011;Ma,2009)have proposedmodelsofstagesinthecreativeprocess,suchas:1)prepa- rationstage,withimmersionintheproblemsinherentinatask and/orinsomethingthatarousescuriosity;2)incubationstage, withformulationofproblemsorconceptualizationofhypothesis;
3) generation of solutions or assembling the pieces of a puz- zle(Csikszentmihalyi,2011);4)generationofcriteriatoevaluate appropriatesolutions,involvingcommunication,evaluation,mod- ificationand/orvalidationofideasforthesolutionoftheproblem;
and5)selection,solution,andapplication,involvingdecisionmak- ingorimplementationof theproposedsolution(product,ideas andpractices)orinnovation(Amabile,2013;Basaduretal.,2012;
Hammondetal.,2011).Thislaststagecanbeincludedinaprocess
ofcombiningthecategoriesorreorganizingknowledgedepending onthecomplexityoftheproblem.
Priorknowledgewillbedecisiveinthefirstandsecondstages, withdivergentthinking(DT)playinganimportantroleinstages three andfour,and convergent thinkingbeingessential forthe finalstage(Csikszentmihalyi,2011;Ma,2009;Simonton,2012).
Themeta-analyseshaverevealedthatpersonalitytraitsinfluence thegenerationofideasmorestrongly,whilethecontextsinwhich theyaredevelopedhavegreaterinfluenceontheapplicationstage (Hammondetal.,2011).
Individualcharacteristicsofcreativityfavoringtheprocess andproductofcreativity
SternbergandLubart(1995)proposethatpersonality,intelli- gence,knowledge,thinkingstyle,motivation,andenvironmentare factorsassociatedwithcreativity.Whilethefirstfiveareindivid- ualfactorscorrespondingtothecreativeperson,wealsoneedto considergiven characteristicssuchas ageandgender,acquired characteristicssuchaseducation,andotherindividualattributes suchasattitude,affect,andemotionalintelligence(Garaigordobil, 2003,p.151;seeTable2fordefinitionandexamplesofitems).
Withrespecttogivencharacteristics,likegenderandage,previ- ousreviewssuggestapositiverelationshipbetweenbeingawoman andcreativity.Narrativereviews(Baer&Kaufman,2008)findmany resultswithnodifferencebetweengenders,althoughsomeslightly favorbeingfemaleasopposedtomale.Theresultsofonestudyof genderidentityandcreativityfoundthatsubjectswhowereboth

Withregardtoindividualtraitsassociatedwithcreativity,ithas beenproposedthatfavorablepersonalitytraitsarecreativeself- concept(CSC)orcreativepersonalityandopennesstoexperience (OE).Therelationshipwithcreativityislessclearthanwithother traitssuchasextraversion,agreeableness,neuroticism,andbeing conscientious(seeforexampleFeist,1998;Hülsheger,Anderson,&

Ma,2009).Nevertheless,someauthorssubmitthatthereareno cognitivestylesgenerictocreativityandthatthesearespecificto theareainquestion(Hennessey&Amabile,2010).
Inadditiontointelligence,personalitytraits,attitudes,andcog- nitive styles,motivation is a furtherindividual factor which is importantincreativity.Ithasbeenclaimedthatthereisapositive relationbetweencreativity,intrinsicmotivation,andself-efficacy (Artola etal.,2012;Guilford,1968;Runco,2014).Itisexpected thatpeoplearemorelikelytobecreativewhentheyareintrin- sicallymotivated,i.e.,byinterest,pleasure,satisfaction,andthe challengeofthetaskitself,morethanbyexternal pressureand reward(Amabile,1996).Self-efficacyreferstotheperceptionthat onehasthecapacitytobehaveinawayrequiredtoattainagoal andthebeliefsaboutone’spersonalcompetencestobeproactivein thegenerationofnewideasandtheapplicationofinnovations.Itis expectedthathighself-efficacyisassociatedwithgreatercreativ- ity(Hülsheger,Anderson&Salgado,2009a;Ma,2009).Therelation betweenextrinsicmotivationandcreativityisnotclear,although someauthorssuggestanegativelink(Ma,2009).
Finally,emotionsandaffectivityareindividualfactorsrelevant tocreativity.Intermsoftherelationbetweenaffectivityandcre- ativity,itisthoughtthatemotionscanchangethinkingandthat knowingthemcanhelponeusethemtoprocessinformationina betterway,thusallowingemotionalintelligencetofurthercreativ- ity(Mayer&Salovey,2007).Severalauthorsproposethatpositive affectfacilitatescreativity(Amabileetal.,2005;Fredrickson,2009;
Isen,Daubman,&Nowicki,1987).Thereisalsoevidencetosug- gestalinkbetweennegativeaffectandpsychopatholgy,giventhe factthatthepercentageofdisordersishighamongsomecreative groupssuchasartists,althoughthisassociationhasalsobeenques- tioned(Feist,1998;Ivcevic,Brackett,&Mayer,2007;Ma,2009).
Onthebasis ofourreview,thehypothesisisputforwardin thisstudythatcreativityisassociatedwiththefemalegenderand androgyny,inacurvilinearformbyage,andasymptoticallywith intelligenceandeducation;withopennesstoexperience,creative self-conceptandtoalesserdegreewithotherpersonalitytraits;
with cognitive/attitudinal variables (DT and pro-risk), intrinsic motivationandself-efficacy,lowextrinsicmotivation,emotional intelligence(EI),and positiveaffect.It isalsoexpectedthatthe associationwithnegativeaffectisweakerorlessclear.Finally,we expectthattherewillbeastrongerassociationbetweencreativity andmotivationthanbetweencreativity,cognition,andattitude.

Discussion
Theanalyses carried outprovide evidence aboutthefactors which reinforce creativity and innovation. Sixty percentof the effectsfoundweresmallerthan.19,which,despitebeinga low correlation,arecoherentwiththosefoundinsocial psychology, where50%ofthesameeffectsarebelowthisvalue(Richard,Bond,
&Stokes-Zoota,2003).The ¯r betweenindividualvariablesandcre- ativitywas.14,belowtheaverageinsocialpsychologywhichis .21.Individualfactorsreviewedexplain2%ofthevarianceincre- ativity,whilevarianceexplainedbyrole,group,andorganizational factorswas7.2%,with ¯r at.27,higherthanthatexplainedbyindi- vidualvariables (daCosta, Páez,Sánchez,Gondim,&Rodriguez, 2014).Thisreinforcestheimportanceofamodelofperson-context interactiontounderstandcreativity.
Resultsconfirmmostofthehypotheses,withtheexceptionof thenegativeassociationbetweenconvergentthinkingandextrin- sicmotivationwithcreativity,ofthecurvilinearorasymptotical relationwithage,intelligence,andeducation,andthehypothesis ofastrongerassociationbetweencreativityandmotivationthan betweencreativity,cognition,andattitude.Thesenegativefindings areimportant,becausetheydisconfirmsomeassumptionsshared
inthedomainofcreativityandinnovationbyrelevantauthors(e.g., Amabile,1996).
Results show that low alexithymia and high empathy are strongly linked to creativity, confirming that knowing and usingemotionsisfunctional, bothfor thinkingand information processing(Mayer&Salovey,2007).Toexplainthis,wecansuppose thatEIreinforcesthefunctionaluseofemotionsinthinkingand problemsolving.Intermsofcognition,DTisalsostronglylinked tocreativityanditshigherscoresareassociatedwithworkplace innovation,justashavingknowledgerelevanttothetaskisasso- ciatedwithinnovation(Hülshegeretal.,2009a;Ma,2009).This maybeexplainedbypositingthatthethinkingstylemoststrongly associatedwithcreativityisthinkingthatdiverges,disagrees,and looksforalternativesororiginalpossibilitiesforsolvingagiven problem(Ma,2009).Inonemeta-analysis,convergentthinkingis associatedwithcreativity,butinanother,systematicthinkingwas negativelylinkedtoinnovation.Thisdiscrepancycouldbedueto howboththedependentandindependentvariablesaremeasured (Hülshegeretal.,2009a;Ma,2009).Inthecreativeprocess,both stylesofthinkingarenecessary,withtheroleofconvergentthink- ingvarying,dependingonwhetherthefocusisonthegenerationof ideasortheirapplication.Themodelofperson-contextinteraction isimportantforunderstandingthisrole(Csikszentmihalyi,2011;

ThestrongassociationbetweenCSC,OE,andcreativityisdueto peoplepossessingthesetraitstoahighdegreebeingmoreflexible andbeingstronglyattractedtonewperspectivesandfeelings(Feist, 1998;Hülshegeretal.,2009a;Ma,2009),totheextentthatthey wouldbemorelikelytotrychangesandinnovate.Ithasalsobeen suggestedthatthisassociationcouldbeduetotheoverlapbetween descriptorsofOE,CSC,andself-reportsofcreativity.However,the linkbetweenCSC,OE,andcreativityandinnovationisfoundwhen indicators of achievementand external judgesare used, which questionswhetherthisonlyarisesbecauseoftheoverlapofmethod andsemanticcontent.Themoderatelystrongassociationbetween extraversionandcreativitycanbeexplainedbythefactthatpeo- plewiththischaractertraitaremoreenergetic,morelikelytolook fornewstimuli(newwaysofdoingtasksandsolvingproblems), resultingingreatercreativeachievement.Beingfriendly,consci- entious,andemotionallyunstableslightlyhinderscreativity(Feist, 1998;Hülshegeretal.,2009a;Ma,2009).
Therelationbetweenmotivationandcreativity(Ma,2009)was confirmedbothinstudiesofcreativity,andcreativityappliedto organizations(Hülshegeretal.,2009a).Inordertoexplaintheeffect ofintrinsicmotivation,itissuggestedthatthisreferstoanatural tendencytowardscontrol,interest,anddiscovery,representingan importantsourceofpleasureandvitality(Hammondetal.,2011).

Themeta-analysesconfirmthat,comparedtoaneutralstate, positiveaffectreinforcescreativitywithaneffectsizesimilarto intrinsic motivation(Baaset al.,2008; Davis, 2009).To explain
this,it issuggestedthatpositive affectreinforcescreativitypri- marilyviamemoryandthought.Positiveaffectwouldengendera greaterflowornumberofideasbecausetheassociativenetwork ofemotionalstatesandpositivematerialspromotesmemoryand accessibilityofinformation.Itwouldfacilitateamoreflexibletreat- mentofcategoriesbecausepeoplewithapositivestateofmind aremoreinclusivewhencategorizingstimuli.Furthermore,pos- itive affectwould reinforce thegenerationof more uncommon ideas,i.e., originality (Baas et al.,2008; Davis, 2009).Secondly, withpositive feelings acting asa signalsuggesting that a state ofwellbeing prevails,theyevokea playful,relaxedapproach to tasks (e.g. DT), whereas negative feelings would indicate dan- ger,therebyprovokingsystematicthoughtinproblemsolving.A positiveoutlookwouldreinforceDT,boostattentionandthereper- toireofactionsandideas(Fredrickson,2009).Finally,positiveaffect andassociatedemotionswillinfluencecreativitythroughtheten- dencytowardsactionthattheyprime.Positiveemotionsofhigh levelsofactivation,suchashappinessandinterest,whichinvolve action tendenciesof anactive approach,motivate creativeper- formance(Baasetal.,2008).Mereexperiencingofsuchstatesof positivevalencedoesnotreinforcecreativity(daCosta,Páez,Oriol,

Beingolder isassociated withcreativity,demonstrating that experienceprovidesresourcesforitandthatitisfarfrombeing typicalofyoungpeople.Ratherthanacurvilinearrelationbetween thetwo,alinearonewasfound(Ma,2009).Ithasbeensuggested that intelligence measured by IQ is associated with creativity, althoughitisnotdecisivebeyondacertainlevel;thisisknownasan asymptoticrelationship.Empirically,intermsofcognitivecapac- ityandcreativity,itwasfoundthattherelationbetweenIQand creativityislinear(Kim,2005).Theseresultssuggestthatgreater intelligencemeansgreatercreativity,butpermitalargeamountof variabilityinthelatter(seeKim,2005inTable1),i.e.,onecanbecre- ativewithoutbeingveryintelligent,butthegreaterone’scognitive resources,ingeneralthegreaterone’screativity.
Confirming that creativity hastodo withattitude (Amabile, 1996;Hennessey&Amabile,2010),Ma’smeta-analysis(Ma,2009) supportsa slightassociationbetweenpro-riskattitudeand cre- ativity.Takingrisksintryingoutideasand newprocessesisan importantpartofthecreativeprocess.Fromthegenderperspec- tive,womendisplayedslightlymorecreativity(Ma,2009).Interms ofgenderidentity,itwasfoundthathavingexpressivetraitsalong- sideinstrumentalones,i.e.,androgyny,isassociatedwithcreativity morestronglythanbeingmaleorfemale,whichsuggeststhatthe psychologicalismorerelevantthatthebiologicalsex(Ma,2009;

Regardingtherelationbetweeneducationandcreativity,itwas seenthatacademicachievement,aneducationlevelindicator,was notassociatedsignificantlywithinnovation.However,thisconclu- sionisdiminishedbytheideathatrelevantknowledgeforthetask inhanddoesassociatewithit(Hülshegeretal.,2009a),anditis understoodthattobeanexpertinagivenfieldrequirestenyears ofsystematiclearning(Csikszentmihalyi,2011;Gardner,2010).
Negative affect is in general not associated with creativity (Davis,2009).Comparedtoitspositivecounterpart,negativeaffect slightlyreducestheflowandoriginalityofthecreativeresponse, althoughitdoesnotaffectotherfacetsofcreativity(Baasetal., 2008).Somestudieshavediscoveredpositive relationsbetween indicators ofpsychopathologicalimbalance andcreativity, asin

Nevertheless,therelationbetweenaffectivedisordersandcreativ- ityisessentiallyfoundintheexperienceofintenselyaffectiveor moderatelymanicstateswhichheightenconsciousnessandflexi- bilityofthought(Ivcevicetal.,2007).
Regarding limitations of the study, we acknowledge in our conclusionsthattheyarebased oncorrelationsuncorrected for measurementerror,andarethuslikelytobeunderestimatesof therealrelations;forexamplethesizeeffectforpositiveaffectwas largerthanr=.20whencorrectedforreliabilityofmeasurement (Davis,2009).Furthermore,wedonottakeintoaccounttheover- lapbetweenthestudiesofmeta-analyses,althoughwebelievethat sincetheyderivefromtraditionsofexperimentalpsychologyonthe onehandandorganizationalpsychologyontheother,anyoverlap willbeminimal.Inaddition,insomecasesthereisonlyonemeta- analysis,whichlimitsgeneralization.Inthisregard,wenotethat resultshavebeenunifiedfortasksofcognitivecreativitywitheval- uationsoftheapplicationofideasandproductsinorganizations, althoughthisalsoreinforcesthegeneralityoftheconclusions.
Conclusions
The results confirm that creativity is associated with emo- tionalintelligence(e.g.,highempathy,emotionalexpressiveness, andgoodcapacitiesofaffectregulation),divergentthinking,cre- ativepersonality,opennesstoexperience,positiveaffect,intrinsic motivation,andandrogyny.Toalesserdegreeitisassociatedwith age,intelligence,extrinsicmotivation,self-efficacy,andsomewhat lesswithpro-riskattitudeandthefemalesex.Onthebasisofthe evidence,wecanconcludethatwhenrecruitingstaffwithcreativity inmind,theseshouldbeemotionallyintelligent,haveahighdegree ofdivergentthinking,bemotivatedprimarilyfortheinterestand challengeinvolvedinthework,andbesimultaneouslyexpressive andassertive.Asapracticalconclusion,weemphasizethatforinno- vationintheworkplaceemotionalaspectssuchasEIandcognitive facetslikeDTaremoreimportantthanmotivationalfactorssuch asself-efficacyandintrinsicmotivation.Anorganizationalculture thatbooststheEIofitsworkforceincreasesemployees’capacityfor understanding,using,expressing,andregulatingemotions,while alsoreinforcinginstrumentalandcognitivecapacitieswillpromote innovationconsiderably.
Inrecruitmentitshouldalsoberememberedthatemployees withopenness to experience traits and a creative self-concept couldstrengthenorganizationalinnovation.Furthermore,anorga- nizational culture which includes in its occupational roles the goalsofgeneratingideasandapplyingoriginalideasinproblem solving, as well as a commitment to innovative behavior and practices may help to turn this into the norm, and, through organizationalsocialization,itmaybecomeinternalizedintheself- concept.Toalesserextent,selectingemployeeswithhighpositive affectwouldbenefitinnovation.Fromanorganizationalpointof view,practicesandnormswhichreinforceapositiveclimateand positive emotionsamong thestaff couldhave thesame effect.
