Resumo: Studied the association of organizational change on organizational creativity in 26 employees at different functional and hierarchical levels in a commercial products distribution company in Portugal. Data on components of creativity were determined by semistructured interview before and after a radical organizational change associated with being bought by a multinational company. The results were evaluated according to perception of the organization, involvement, communication, information access, transmission and support for creative ideas, work climate, resources for idea generation, continuity of creative cycles, and problem-solving indicators. Responses were considered for sales, marketing, finance, human resources, and management at 4 hierarchical levels. The results indicate improvement of organizational creativity after the change, suggesting that changes in organization process rather than change itself are the impetus for improved creativity.  DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v13i1/2.566

Foi estudada uma empresa recentemente adquirida e adoptado um racional construído a partir do modelo circular de criatividade (Basadur, 1997), de acordo com o qual a criatividade organizacional é sinónimo de adaptabilidade, e consiste num processo cíclico em que se sucedem as actividades de formulação de problemas e implementação de soluções. Os resultados obtidos apontaram, regra geral, para uma melhoria pós-mudança face ao que se verificava anteriormente em relação aos aspectos facilitadores da criatividade. Colocou-se, contudo, a possibilidade de a melhoria observada ter decorrido de uma tentativa de melhoria de processos e não de um impacto directo da mudança sobre a criatividade.
