Abstract
Creativity is a necessary, but insufficient antecedent of innovation, which also includes the finalising step, that is, the implementation of creative ideas. Therefore, it is imperative for managers and HR experts alike to know how to stimulate both employee creativity and individual innovation, as the latter ultimately provides a tangible value for the firm (Baer, 2012). In order to obtain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms and foundations for individual innovation outcomes, recent research on creativity and innovation has examined a diverse set of their antecedents.
