Abstract

Creativity is considered as the seed of innovation whereby, innovativeness has been considered as one of the fundamentals for organizational competitiveness.Acknowledging the importance of creative behavior on innovation, this paper aimed to discuss creativity from the self-determination perspective.Self determination theory (SDT) is a meta-theory introduced to offer an explanation on creativity.From a self determined perspective, creative related behavior is considered autonomous in nature and is the result of energy and direction that is linked to human motivation.The discussion on the needs fulfillment, that is the main psychological process described by SDT is also included in this paper.Finally, the discussion on the strength and limitation of the theory in explaining creativity is also presented in this paper.
