Examines how justice impacts creativity in workplace problem-solving, suggesting significant differences in outcomes.
A justice manipulation was used with 98 participants and all were tested for both positively and negatively directed creativity. Those treated justly demonstrated significantly more positive creativity as assessed by the expert-rated creativity of their positive solutions to a workplace problem. Those unjustly treated demonstrated significantly more negative creativity as assessed by total numbers of ideas generated for doing devious harm to another; and total numbers of negative ideas partially mediated impacts of injustice on expert-rated negative creativity. Implications for theory, research, and the management of creativity are discussed.
