Abstract

Abstract : Many studies have examined creative and innovative performance (CIP)–task performance, CIP–organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB), and CIP–counterproductive work behaviour (CWB) relationships in order to differentiate CIP from these established job performance dimensions. However, the overlap between CIP and these performance dimensions is still not clear due to mixed findings evident in the literature. To address this issue, we conducted a comprehensive meta-analytic review of empirical research into CIP–task performance, CIP–OCB, and CIP–CWB relationships derived from 39 studies and 40 independent samples. Overall, CIP was positively related to task performance (ρ = .55) and OCB (ρ = .56) and negatively related to CWB (ρ = −.23). We did not observe evidence suggesting that CIP measurement, rating source, OCB target, or CWB type moderated these relationships. Implications of our findings and directions for future research are discussed.
