Previous issue date: 2015-12-15 / Pontif?cia Universidade Cat?lica de Campinas / The present study had the objective of creating a scale for the assessment of creativity characteristics in the organizational context, as well as to conduct initial exploration studies of its psychometric qualities. Four studies were performed, with the purpose of building the instrument first, based on an interview with 10 leaders, managers and supervisors in order to get to know the main characteristics of creativity that were valued in the organizational environment. As a result, 18 characteristics or features were selected and each gave rise to two items from the scale, in a way that it was composed of 36 items. The second study sought content validity evidence through content-related judge?s analysis (five graduate students working in the field of psychological assessment), whose responses, analyzed in terms of appropriateness of the item and estimating the percentage of agreement, pointed suitable results in all items, and nine of them had to go through another round of assessment, after modifications. The third study designated as analysis of the scale?s internal structure was carried out through exploratory factorial analysis, based on the responses of 170 participants (121 female). The results pointed the existence of a bifatorial structure, in which the factor 1, composed of 16 items was called "Blockade and Barriers to Creativity" involving items that were related to the opposite of creativity and factor 2, composed of 12 items and entitled "Attributes and Features which Encourage Creativity", including items that are directly related to creativity. Eight items did not present factor loading and were later left out. The fourth study aimed to find validity evidence based on its relationship with external variables. The test Thinking Creatively with Words from Torrance Tests was taken as a criterion, having been answered along with the scale, with a sample composed of 50 participants (31 females), aged between 17 and 61 years (M = 32.96; DP = 11.47). The results show that the Factor 1 displayed significant negative correlations with the Fluency characteristic (r = -0.344, p ? 0.05), Flexibility (r = -0.343, p ? 0.05) and Verbal Creative Index 2 (r = -0.293, p ? 0.05). Factor 2, in turn, showed no significant correlation with any of the Torrance test measures. A second analysis was performed in order to investigate the correlation between each item separately in the Scale for Creative Potential and the Creativity Characteristics evaluated by the Torrance Test. Nine items from the scale showed significant correlations with measures of the verbal creativity test, with four belonging to Factor 1 and five belonging to Factor 2. It is suggested that further studies should be conducted with the instrument, considering other criteria (such as supervisor?s appraisals, in addition to other tools of creativity assessment), as well as those targeting the investigation of the scale?s precision / O presente estudo teve como objetivo a constru??o de uma escala para avalia??o de caracter?sticas de criatividade no contexto organizacional, assim como a condu??o dos primeiros estudos de investiga??o de suas qualidades psicom?tricas. Para isso, quatro estudos foram realizados. O primeiro visou a constru??o do instrumento, baseando-se na entrevista com 10 l?deres, gerentes e supervisores a fim de levantar e conhecer as principais caracter?sticas da criatividade valorizadas no ambiente organizacional. Como resultado, 18 caracter?sticas foram selecionadas e deram origem, cada uma, a dois itens da escala, que maneira que a mesma ficou composta por 36 itens. O segundo estudo buscou evid?ncias de validade de conte?do atrav?s da an?lise de ju?zes (cinco estudantes de p?s-gradua??o atuantes na ?rea de avalia??o psicol?gica), cujas respostas, analisadas em termos de adequa??o do item e estimativa da porcentagem de concord?ncia, apontaram para resultados adequados em todos os itens, sendo que nove deles tiveram que passar por uma nova rodada de avalia??o, ap?s reformula??o. O terceiro estudo, de an?lise da estrutura interna da escala foi realizado a partir de an?lise fatorial explorat?ria, partindo-se das respostas de 170 participantes (121 do sexo feminino). Os resultados apontaram para a exist?ncia de uma estrutura bifatorial, sendo o Fator 1, composto por 16 itens e chamado de Bloqueios e barreiras ? criatividade envolvendo itens que relacionam-se de forma inversa ? criatividade e o Fator 2, composto por 12 itens e intitulado Atributos e caracter?sticas que favorecem a criatividade , englobando itens que encontram-se relacionados diretamente ? criatividade. Oito itens n?o apresentaram carga fatorial e foram exclu?dos. O quarto estudo visou encontrar evid?ncias de validade com base na rela??o com vari?veis externas. O Teste Pensando Criativamente com Palavras de Torrance foi tomado como crit?rio, tendo sido respondido, juntamente com a escala, por uma amostra composta por 50 participantes (31 do sexo feminino), com idades entre 17 e 61 anos (M = 32,96; DP = 11,47). Os resultados mostram que o Fator 1 apresentou correla??es significativas e negativas com a caracter?stica de Flu?ncia (r=-0,344, p?0,05), Flexibilidadade (r=-0,343, p?0,05) e Indice Criativo Verbal 2 (r=-0,293, p?0,05). O Fator 2, por sua vez, n?o apresentou correla??o significativa com nenhuma das medidas do Teste de Torrance. Uma segunda an?lise, a fim de investigar, separadamente, a correla??o entre cada item da Escala de Potencial Criativo Organizacional e as caracter?sticas criativas avaliadas pelo Teste de Torrance foi realizada. Nove itens da escala apresentaram correla??es significativas com as medidas do teste de criatividade verbal, sendo quatro pertencentes ao Fator 1 e cinco pertencentes ao Fator 2. Sugere-se que novos estudos sejam conduzidos com o instrumental, tomando-se outros crit?rios (tais como avalia??es de supervisores, assim como outros instrumentos de avalia??o da criatividade), bem como aqueles que visem a investiga??o da precis?o da escala.
