{"product_id":"9781032345772","title":"Examining Creativity in the Workplace : Applying Polanyi's Theory of Tacit Knowledge to Maximize Fulfillment at Work by Bren Slusser","description":"This scholarly book explores the intersection of social cognition with a democratic philosophy of human resource management to advance a theory of workplace function that maximizes creativity. 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. This 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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295891206517,"sku":"9781032345772","price":48.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781032345772.jpg?v=1762769513","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781032345772","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
