Sažetak
Innovation and creativity in organizations are becoming imperative to their advancement. These two categories are shaping the new culture of innovation, which managers should take into account when trying to maintain the sustainable development of their organizations. This paper examines the contribution of management practice, organizational motivation and resources as the important factors for fostering creativity and innovation in organizations and their effects on productivity. Empirical research using the KEYS methodology was conducted on a sample of employees from innovation-driven organizations. The research results show a positive and significant effect of creativity on organizational productivity. At the same time, the research reveals that challenging tasks, as an element of management practice, and realistic workload pressure, as a resource, strongly contribute to organizational productivity. The paper extends current knowledge on the contribution of management practice, organizational motivation, and resources as factors important for fostering creativity in organizations. Furthermore, the paper contributes by providing a deeper theoretical insight into the concept of the culture of innovation and creativity in an organizational environment.
