Leveraging Differentiated Human Resource Systems to Foster Workplace Creativity: A Conceptual Framework

Abstract

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, creativity is a crucial factor in driving success. Numerous studies have looked at the connection between human resource systems and creativity, but they frequently consider workers as a homogeneous group, disregarding the unique differences between individuals in an organization. To address this limitation, we provide a conceptual framework that demonstrates how ‘differentiated’ human resource systems can effectively promote creativity across various hierarchical levels of an organization. This work clarifies the multifaceted nature of human resources’ involvement in nurturing creativity and may pave the way for future research in this field.
