摘要

组织看门人依赖于质量的隐性代理信号来评估创造性工作:地位和地位特征、精英网络、文化资本,以及我们称之为符号灵巧的一系列信号。我们认为,这种依赖是由于不确定性的“推动”和文化上占主导地位的以人为中心的创造力观的“拉动”。评估人员被“推向”这些代理信号,因为创造性工作的质量从根本上是不确定的。评估者被“拉”向这些代理信号,因为以人为中心的创造性观点使这些信号合法且容易获得决策启发式。由于特权社会群体的成员在产生和理解这些信号的重要性方面处于有利地位,我们认为,在其中获得创造性工作和成功在很大程度上是一种特权。鉴于创造性工作中基于特权的选择既根深蒂固又存在道德问题,我们探讨了其对组织绩效和组织声誉的影响,并提出了可能有助于组织减少其歧视性影响的策略。最后,我们提出了在创造性工作评估和社会不平等的交叉文献中出现的未来研究问题。

Creativity as privilege

Organizational gatekeepers rely on tacit proxy signals of quality to evaluate creative work: status and status characteristics, elite networks, cultural capital, and a set of signals we refer to as symbolic dexterity. We argue that this reliance is due to the “push” of uncertainty and the “pull” of the culturally dominant person-centered view of creativity. Evaluators are “pushed” toward these proxy signals because the quality of creative work is fundamentally uncertain. Evaluators are “pulled” toward these proxy signals because the person-centered view of creativity makes these signals legitimate and easily available decision heuristics. Since members of privileged social groups are advantaged in producing and understanding the importance of such signals, we argue that access to creative work and success within it are largely a privilege. Given that privilege-based selection in creative work is both entrenched and ethically problematic, we explore its implications for organizational performance and organizational reputation and propose strategies that may help organizations reduce its discriminatory impact. We conclude by presenting questions for future research arising at the intersection of the literatures on evaluation in creative work and on social inequality.

期刊介绍: Research in Organizational Behavior publishes commissioned papers only, spanning several levels of analysis, and ranging from studies of individuals to groups to organizations and their environments. The topics encompassed are likewise diverse, covering issues from individual emotion and cognition to social movements and networks. Cutting across this diversity, however, is a rather consistent quality of presentation. Being both thorough and thoughtful, Research in Organizational Behavior is commissioned pieces provide substantial contributions to research on organizations. Many have received rewards for their level of scholarship and many have become classics in the field of organizational research.
