Jj. Sosik et al., INSPIRING GROUP CREATIVITY - COMPARING ANONYMOUS AND IDENTIFIED ELECTRONIC BRAINSTORMING, Small group research, 29(1), 1998, pp. 3-31
A laboratory study examined effects of group members' perceptions of b
ehavioral components of transformational and transactional leadership
on group creativity under anonymous and identified electronic brainsto
rming conditions. Results indicated that perceptions of transactional
goal setting and inspirational leadership were each positively related
to group creativity. Intellectual stimulation and individualized cons
ideration were negatively related to group creativity. Except for the
effect of intellectual stimulation on group creativity, these effects
were stronger under anonymous versus identified conditions.
