تأثیر تفکرات خلاقانه بر اهداف موفقیت، لذت، خودکارآمدی خلاقانه و عملکرد در میان دانش آموزان کسب و کار

In two studies, we examined the influence of a growth and a fixed creative mindset on task-approach, other-approach and other-avoidance achievement goals, creative self-efficacy, enjoyment, and perceived performance and effort exerted among college business students from Mexico. We conducted both studies in a business educational setting where the development of creative skills is highly valued. Results from study 1 showed a positive influence of a growth creative mindset on task-approach achievement goals and creative self-efficacy. Results from study 2 showed a positive influence of a growth creative mindset on task-approach achievement goals. Similarly, a fixed creative mindset had a positive influence on other-approach achievement goals. Last, a growth mindset had a direct, positive influence on creative self-efficacy and perceived performance/effort exerted and an indirect influence on enjoyment. From our results, we can conclude that holding a growth creative mindset was related to adaptive motivational and performance outcomes. The theoretical and applied implications of our results were discussed.
