Abstract
Welcome to this Handbook of Creativity at Work. Our aim in bringing together this interdisciplinary compilation of forward-looking and critical research-led articles has been to provide authoritative and up-to-date scholarship and debate concerning creativity at work. The volume provides a timely opportunity to re-evaluate our understanding of creativity, work, and the pivotal relationship between them. It is all too easily forgotten that the word “creativity” only appeared in common usage in the early 20th century, though, of course, there is nothing “modern” about creative activity or ability per se. Though creativity is today most readily associated with artistic, aesthetic and cultural activity – “work” in the context of the “creative industries” and the wider “creative economy” – its value in society was contingent upon science and technology, which revealed human independence as being possible , and the introduction of free-market economics, when constant innovation became inescapably necessary . Far from being a new arrival on the scene, the context of “work” has always been a place shaped and sharpened by creativity, as well as a site that determines, where, when, how, and for whom creativity emerges.
