Summary

Researchers and theorists have long appreciated the association between creativity and motivational orientation. For decades, it was believed that the same basic equation worked for most everyone: Intrinsic motivation is conducive to creativity and extrinsic motivation is almost always detrimental. Recent research is reviewed to reveal that this relation between creative performance and motivation is far more nuanced and complicated than previously thought. In some cases, intrinsic and extrinsic motivations can combine in a sort of motivational synergy to support creativity. In many situations, the drive to maintain a sense of self-determination is supplemented by affective response; and individual difference variables also appear to play a part. Finally, recent empirical investigations carried out in the field, in both workplace and classroom settings, point to cultural differences, most especially differences in self-construal, that can mediate or moderate the impact of extrinsic constraints on motivational orientation and creative performance.
