Summary: The objective of this study was to understand the relationship between creativity and work-nonwork enrichment, having meaningfulness at work as a mediator. Most literature focus on the precedents of creativity, instead of its consequences, and since it can have major impact on the individual that performs it, it is a relevant topic to understand. We also decided to study the work-nonwork dynamic since most studies are related to work-family. Since people are having children later in life or not having them at all, we consider important to be more inclusive in our study. To access our hypothesis, we presented a questionnaire to 164 employees of one consultancy company. We discovered that creative behaviors at work can contribute to enrich the private life of the employee. Additionally, we also found out that meaningfulness at work mediates this relationship.

A maioria das publicações foca-se nos antecedentes da criatividade, em vez das suas consequências. Uma vez que esta pode ter um grande impacto no indivíduo que a realiza, é um tópico de extrema importância. Neste estudo participaram 164 trabalhadores de uma empresa de consultoria. Os resultados sugerem que os comportamentos criativos no trabalho podem contribuir para enriquecer a vida privada do trabalhador e que esta relação é mediada pelo significado que os trabalhadores atribuem ao seu trabalho. Os resultados são discutidos tendo em conta os seus contributos teóricos e empíricos, bem como as suas limitações e as possíveis investigações futuras.2020-12-02T00:00:00Z2018-12-03T00:00:00Z2018-12-032018-09info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfapplication/octet-streamhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/18317TID:202128660engSousa, Catarina Martinsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2024-07-07T03:51:58Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/18317Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T18:33:04.026276Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
