Title: Studying innovation in organizations: a dialectic perspective introduction to the special issue
Source: European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology
Abstract: Recent research on innovation, creativity, and other change- and innovation-related constructs has increased exponentially. Despite this growth, the current state of the science is far from congruent. Recent reviews on innovation (Anderson, Potocnik, & Zhou, 2014) and creativity (Zhou & Hoever, 2014) have acknowledged the considerable progress made in this field, but at the same time, have outlined several challenges for present and future research. Nevertheless, certain characteristics prevail in most studies, like the primacy of studies considering the positive (and almost universal) effects of innovation, the predominance of individual-level studies, and some degree of confusion and divergence among two subfields in the topic, creativity and innovation.
