Abstract
Creativity in all fields, including business, nourishes under intrinsi c motivation-the drive to do something because it is interesting, invo lving, exciting, satisfying, or personally challenging. This article p resents the Componential Theory of Organizational Creativity and Innov ation, which defines the factors-including intrinsic motivation-that d etermine a person's creativity. This article also shows how the work e nvironment can influence individual creativity.
