Creativity and Innovation under Constraints: A Cross-Disciplinary Integrative Review

Generating creative ideas and turning them into innovations is key for competitive advantage. However, endeavors toward creativity and innovation are bounded by constraints such as rules and regulations, deadlines, and scarce resources. The effect of constraints on creativity and innovation has attracted substantial interest across the fields of strategic management, entrepreneurship, industrial organization, technology and operations management, organizational behavior, and marketing. Research in these fie ds has focused on various constraints that trigger distinct mediating mechanisms but is fragmented and yields conflicting findings. We develop a taxonomy of constraints and mediating mechanisms and provide an integrative synthesis that explains how constraints impact creativity and innovation. Our review thus facilitates cross-disciplinary learning and sets the stage for further theoretical development

TEKSTİL ÇALIŞANLARINDA, KATILIM İLE MESLEKİ KAS İSKELET SİSTEMİ RAHATSIZLIĞI VE MESLEKİ TÜKENMİŞLİK ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ

Bu çalışma tekstil ve hazır giyim sektöründe çalışan kişilerde katılım ile mesleki kas iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıkları ve mesleki tükenmişlik seviyesi arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmamıza 31 kadın, 69 erkek olmak üzere toplam 100 tekstil/konfeksiyon çalışanı dahil edilmiştir. Katılımcılara Sosyodemografik Bilgi Formu, Genişletilmiş NORDIC Kas-İskelet Sistemi Anketi, Maslach Tükenmişlik Envanter Genel Anketi ve Katılım Ölçeği uygulandı. Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 34,36’dır (min:18-max:61). Katılımcıların %40’ının 10 yıl ve üzeri bir süreyle tekstil/konfeksiyon işinde çalıştıkları kaydedilmiştir. Katılımcıların %5’inin 6-8 saat arasında ve %29’unun 8-10 saat arasında çalıştığı saptanmıştır. Katılımcılarda en fazla bel, boyun, sırt, omuz ve diz ağrısı şikayetlerine rastlanılmıştır. Bununla birlikte katılımcıların %43’ünün orta düzey mesleki tükenmişliğe ve %88’inin katılım kısıtlılığına sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. İstatistiksel analiz sonucunda katılımcıların, katılım kısıtlılıkları ile mesleki tükenmişlikleri arasında istatistiksel olarak pozitif yönde, yüksek düzeyde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p=0,000). Ancak, katılım ile mesleki kas-iskelet rahatsızlıkları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır (p=0,069). Bu veriler doğrultusunda tekstil ve hazır giyim sektöründe daha önce ele alınan konulara ek olarak katılım alanının ergoterapistlerce değerlendirilerek müdahale edilmesi gereken bir alan olduğunu düşünmekteyiz.This study was conducted to examine the relationship between participation in the textile and garment sector, occupational musculoskeletal disorders and the level of occupational burnout. 31 women, 69 male, totaling 100 textile/apparel employees were included in the study. Sociodemographic Information Form, Extended NORDIC Musculoskeletal System Questionnaire, Maslach Burnout Inventory and Participation Scale were applied to the participants. The mean age of the participants was 34.36 (min:18-max: 61). It was noted that 40% of the participants for 10 years and over worked in the textile/apparel business. It was observed that 5% of the participants worked between 6-8 hours and 29% between 8-10 hours. The most common complaints were low back, neck, back, shoulder and knee pain in the participants. In addition, it was found that 43% of the participants had moderate occupational burnout and 88% had participation limitation. As a result of the statistical analysis, it was determined that there was a statistically positive, highly significant relationship between the participants' participation limitations and their occupational burnout (p=0,000). However, it was found that there was no statistically significant relationship between participation and occupational musculoskeletal disorders. (p=0.069). In line with these data, we think that in addition to the subjects previously discussed in the textile and garment sector, the participation area is an area that should be evaluated and intervened by occupational therapists

The Dark Side of Visionary Leadership in Strategy Implementation:Strategic Alignment, Strategic Consensus, and Commitment

Drawing from visionary leadership and strategy process research, we theorize and test the mechanism through which middle and lower-level managers’ visionary leadership affects their teams’ strategic commitment. The management literature extols the virtues of visionary leadership. In contrast to this positive stance, we reveal a dark side to visionary leadership. Our theoretical framework suggests that team manager visionary leadership harms team strategic consensus when the manager is not strategically aligned with the CEO, which in turn diminishes team commitment to the strategy. In contrast, when a team manager is strategically aligned with the CEO, team manager visionary leadership is positively related to team strategic consensus and subsequently to team strategic commitment. Data from 136 teams from two organizations support our moderated mediation model. A supplemental analysis of the content of strategic consensus and additional qualitative interviews with managers and employees in one of these organizations provide additional insights concerning the meaning of the theorized relations in practice
