Chapter 13 in Organizational Behavior in Sport Management, 2021, pp 137-146 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Sport employees engage in behaviors at their workplace every day that impact the organization’s overall success. Those behaviors can be defined as in-role or extra-role behaviors. Extra-role behaviors include organizational citizenship behaviors, as well as creative behaviors. Employee creativity is influenced by domain-relevant skills, intrinsic task motivation, and engagement in creativity-related processes. Those processes can be broken up into three stages: problem identification, information searching and encoding, and idea generation. Other influential mechanisms for managers to encourage creative behaviors include autonomy, time and space, rest, and specific idea generation activities, including juxtapositioning and divergent thinking.
