Abstract: This study examines the relationship between creativity and performance in collaborations between artists and STEM professionals. It investigates the antecedent factors of the creativity of artists and STEM professionals and elaborates on the performance of temporal and imperfect organizational creativity. A survey was administered to 969 Korean artists and STEM professionals, of which data on 131 respondents with experience of art and STEM collaboration were used for the empirical analysis by applying a structural equation model. The results show that an individual's intrinsic motivation, and creative personality characteristic positively influence creativity collaborative performance. Intrinsic motivation and creative personality characteristics positively influenced collaborative performance by the mediation of creativity. Our study contributes to the literature by deepening our understanding of creativity and collaboration between artists and STEM professionals, particularly in temporary and imperfect organizational creativity, which has not been addressed in existing discussions of creativity. This confirms that artists and STEM professionals have common antecedent factors of creativity, and that the coexistence of scientific and artistic creativity has a positive impact on collaborative performance.
