SGER: Creativity in IT Research Organizations

该项目包括在一个IT研究机构中开发和评估创造力的试点研究，其主要目标有三个：（1）将IT和社会科学方法联合收割机结合起来;（2）扩展我们对个人和团队创造性过程的理解;（3）开发和评估新型干预和界面，将影响、背景和社会互动结合起来，以利用机会促进创造力。智力价值在于混合方法的发展，结合社会科学和计算机科学的方法，在IT研究组织的创造力的多个行为和情感元素。该研究将提高我们对组织创造力的理解，并推动新一代适用于团队和组织的综合创造力支持工具的开发。更广泛的影响：创造力是人类奋进的所有领域的进步所必需的。开发的方法和框架广泛适用于整个学术和工业IT研究组织，它们也适用于越来越需要指导和支持以促进创造性实践和创新的广泛组织。这些方法和工具也将适用于人们在从事自己的创造性追求时进行广泛的个人努力。研究结果和系统将促进学术和行业合作，并将在多个研究社区，IT组织和在线社区中广泛传播。

This project includes the development and evaluation of pilot studies of creativity in an IT research organization with three primary objectives: (1) combine IT and social science methodologies; (2) extend our understanding of individual and team creative processes; (3) develop and evaluate new types of interventions and interfaces that incorporate affect, context, and social interaction to leverage opportunities to promote creativity. The intellectual merit lies in the development of hybrid methodologies, combining social science and computer science approaches to multiple behavioral and affective elements for creativity in an IT research organization. The research will improve our understanding of organizational creativity and advance the development a new generation of integrated Creativity Support Tools that are applicable within teams and organizations. Broader Impacts: Creativity is required for advances in all areas of human endeavor. The methods and frameworks developed are broadly applicable throughout academic and industrial IT research organizations, and they are also adaptable to a broad spectrum of organizations that increasingly need guidance and support to foster creative practices and innovation. The methods and tools will also apply to people performing a wide range of personal endeavors as they engage in their own creative pursuits. The findings and systems will advance academic and industry collaborations and will be broadly disseminated throughout multiple research communities, IT organizations, and on-line communities.
