Abstract

The literature on group creativity is representative of most research on groups: Rather than incorporate a dynamic view of the creative process it has largely viewed creativity from a static point of view (Cronin, Weingart, & Todorova, 2011). Here, we focus on an example of this static approach: Research linking narcissism to group creativity (Goncalo, Flynn & Kim, 2010). First, we review the evidence that narcissists can contribute to group creativity. We uncover three critical gaps: The research focuses narrowly on one stage of the creative process while neglecting other stages, it neglects the fact that events in one stage can impact subsequent stages, and it assumes a dynamic process that is not tested empirically. Second, we propose a dynamic model that addresses these gaps and thus generates a series of novel propositions. Finally, we suggest an empirical approach that might be useful for studying group creativity over time.
