Bu makale örgütsel davranış bilim dalı çerçevesinde yaratıcılık konusundaki çalışmaların kuramsal ve metodolojik açıdan sınıflanmasını ve örgütsel yaratıcılık konusunda ampirik bir çalışmanın sonuçlarını içermektedir. Çalışmanın ilk bölümünde, yaratıcılıkla ilgili kuramsal ve ampirik çalışmalar, seçici bir literatür taraması esas alınarak sınıflanmakta ve Örgütsel yaratıcılık kavramı ile öncelikle örgüt kültürü ve iş ortamı (iklim) kavramları arasındaki bağıntı incelenmektedir. İkinci bölüm, ampirik bir uygulamayı içermekte ve bu bölümde yaratıcı örgüt iklimi, örgüt kültürü ve çalışanların iş tutumları arasındaki bağıntı irdelenmektedir. Araştırma bulguları, mücadeleci iş niteliği ile yenilikçiliğe açık üst yönetimlerin çalışanların iş tutumlarını olumlu yönde etkilediğini ve bu etkinin, bireyorganizasyon uyum düzeyine bağlı olarak yükseldiğini göstermekledir. Çalışmanın üçüncü ve son bölümü ise işletme yöneticileri için, çalışanların yaratıcı potansiyellerini artırmak amacıyla öncelik verilmesi gereken hususları kapsayan bir kılavuz niteliğini taşımaktadır.
