Bayesian Network Analysis for Organizational Creativity.

Organizational creativity (OC) is associated with deriving many relevant ideas and producing a variety of unique ideas from members of an organization. Many studies have been conducted to improve OC which can increase the performances of organization. However, previous studies were based on related factors rather than directly observable attributes. In this paper we apply Bayesian network to identify the relationship among organizational attributes which are observables, OC, and performances of firms in Korea The results indicated that monetary compensation systems in an organization, an encouraging atmosphere for the creative expression of employees, and increasing creativity through corporate culture have strong positive impact on deriving a large number and variety of ideas in an organization. This, in turn, affects producing unique and original ideas. However, basic skills of employees are neither significant attributes for organizational creativity, nor innovative performance of organization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
