近年来，尽管创造力对企业绩效的影响很重要，但对企业创造力的定量研究还很少，尤其是在日本。本文旨在阐明影响企业创造力的因素。从前人的研究来看，与创造力相关的因素可以分为四类：个性、能力、动机和环境。本文还旨在验证创造性因素(CF)比智商(IQ)测试分数(IQ分数)更能预测企业绩效。因此，作者假设：(1)在人格、能力、动机或环境的任何因素中都可以发现CF；(2)与IQ分数相比，CF与成绩的相关性更密切。作者要求303名受访者在设定的时间内回答565个问题的网上调查问卷。受访者属于日本风投企业的销售部门。他们的上级用5分制对他们的创造力进行了评估。以主管的评价作为创造力的标准变量，构建了多元回归分析模型。结果表明，在“个性”类别中，“独立性和主动性”、“激励性”和“激励性”是5%的统计显著加速因子；在“能力”、“新想法组合”和“决策速度”方面，显著促进创造力；在“动机”、“工作兴趣”、“正反馈(负)”和“工作回报”方面，显著促进创造力。在“环境”中，有“优秀同事”、“思想批判”、“自主”、“保守氛围”等五个显著的加速器，也有“工作量过大”等障碍。虽然Cf与智商得分不相关，但它与TTCT(托兰斯创造性思维测试)得分和受访者的表现都有部分相关。此外，智商得分与成绩并不相关。因此，与智商得分相比，现金流量可以更好地预测企业业绩。
Recently, there have been only a few quantitative researches on creativity in business especially in Japan, although creativity is important for business performance. This paper aims to clarify the factors which affect creativity in business. Judging from previous researches, it can be classified that the factors probably associate with creativity into four categories: personality, ability, motivation, and environment. This paper can also aim to verify that CF (creativity factor) could be better predictors for business performance than IQ (intelligence quotient) test score (IQ score). Accordingly, the authors hypothesize that: (1) CF can be found in any factors of personality, ability, motivation, or environment; and (2) CF correlates more closely with performance than IQ score. The authors requested 303 respondents to answer Web-based questionnaires consisting of 565 questions within a set period of time. The respondents belong to sales divisions in Japanese venture businesses. Their supervisors evaluated their creativity using a five-point scale. The authors used their supervisors’ evaluation as a criterion variable of creativity to build a multi-regression analysis model. The results showed that the factors, “independence and activeness” and “exciting” are 5% statistically significant accelerators in the “personality” category; In the “ability”, “new combination of ideas”, and “decision-making speed” significantly accelerate creativity; In the “motivation”, “interest of work”, “positive feedback (negative)”, and “reward for work” significantly accelerate creativity. In the “environment”, there are five significant accelerators, such as “excellent colleague”, “criticism of ideas”, “autonomy”, “conservative atmosphere”, and an impediment, such as “excessive workload”. Although CF does not correlate with IQ score, it partially correlates with both the TTCT (Torrance Test for Creative Thinking) score and the performance of the respondents. Furthermore, IQ score does not correlate with performance. Consequently, CF could be better predictors for business performance than IQ score.
