Abstract

Researchers have claimed that routinisation hinders creativity. However, empirical evidence for this assumption is sparse. In this study, we examined a series of research hypotheses that specifies the relationships among time pressure, job involvement, routinisation, creativity and turnover intentions. A research was conducted with 315 employees of the newspaper and television industries in Taiwan. Our results clearly reveal that routinisation is negatively associated with creativity. Time pressure is a strong predictor for routinisation and creativity. Job involvement emerged as a positive predictor for routinisation. Routinisation and creativity had an adverse relationship with turnover intentions. The findings are interpreted with discussions of the implications.
