Abstract

Innovation in an organization is the outcome of creative ideas, as accomplishment of new products and services development, implementation of new programs that are highly dependent on new ideas generated by its organizational members. Organizational members show their creativity by not only proposing new ideas on products and services, but also with some manufacturing methods and administrative practices. Stimulation of employee creativity leads to the growing competitiveness of firms in the market. Psychological studies identified various types of personality traits that drive employee creativity in working environment. However, personality-employee creativity relationship must be enriched with an inclusion of other factors. The link between these two is worthy to be studied in working environments, where firm performance is highly determined by employee creativity. This research includes not only openness to experience and extraversion separately, but also the other personality traits. It provides a comprehensive insight into innovation and creativity of its organizational members. Moreover, both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation are included in investigation, in the context of High-performing organizations in the Middle East. The results show that among the Big Five Traits, openness, conscientiousness, and extraversion are positively related to organizational Innovation and creativity, whereas neuroticism is negatively related to organizational Innovation and creativity.
