It examines how the work of Polanyi on tacit knowledge provides a useful theoretical structure for understanding person perception and self-fulfilling prophecy effects in the workplace, with a focus on gender, culture, and race as diversity variables. Based on a broad range of interdisciplinary empirical evidence and theories, this book provides a foundational set of concepts to build new applied intervention strategies. The authors create new, testable theories based on a synthesis of several major areas of research in social psychology and human resource management, moving beyond the narrow confines of trends in a particular subdomain. Part 1 offers a literature review of the field, ranging from theoretical, historical, and philosophical psychology to social psychology and neurocognition. Each chapter in this section offers a novel theory that is pertinent to workplace innovation, synthesized from existing evidence. Part 2 reveals applications of tacit knowledge to the field of human resource management, with a focus on cross-cultural applications for low- and high-power distance settings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insightful text presents the authors’ original, qualitative research around workplace creativity and tacit knowledge and is valuable reading for scholars and advanced students in industrial-organizational psychology and human resource management.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57200491528574,"sku":"NW9781032345772","price":48.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781032345772.jpg?v=1778544668","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/examining-creativity-in-the-workplace","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
