La créativité vue comme une compétence. Enjeux et prospective en matière d’employabilité

This article proposes to understand creativity as a competence and to explore its main conceptions. With the dissemination and institutionalization of the competence approach in the sphere of employment and training, strategic management, and HRM, seeing creativity as a competence leads to an appreciation of its role in the contemporary labor market, segmented by competences. While the link between the concepts of competences and employability has been explored by the gray and academic literature, in particular in human resources management, the creativity?competence?employability relationship remains to be clarified theoretically. By first exploring the institutional conception of creativity as a key competence for employability, a proposed typology allows us to represent its various descriptions in the literature as an owned, potential, supported, and required competence for employability. The second conception explored is based on the future prospects for jobs with the development of artificial intelligence: creativity can then be seen as a new boundary competence on the labor market, at the heart of the distinction between the categories of digital nomads and digital labor, between the augmented worker and crowdworker.
