Drawing on Mode 2 research, we theorise how a structured intervention enables the generation of theoretical insights concerning the development of employee creativity knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs). Utilising event system theory, we reveal how the novelty, criticality, and disruption of a structured intervention fuel an experiential learning process. This process facilitates the development of important individual and team-based creativity KSAs and is sustained through a learning mindset. We develop insights about theories-in-use, HRM theory development, and the micro processes involved in an academic-stakeholder collaboration including areas of potential tension. From a practice perspective, we highlight the value of structured interventions for creativity KSA development and a strategy to facilitate academic-stakeholder collaboration.

Findings reveal a major shift in talent recruitment processes that are required in order for refugees to take up international work opportunities and highlight the importance of viewing individual potential, organisational support and opportunity access as a precursor for talent development and impact.Practical implicationsThis paper shows that profession-specific intermediary support that fosters cross-sector partnerships, better addresses the tale...

Although creativity has broadly been recognised as an essential ingredient of long-term organisational success (Aleksić et al, 2016; Curado, 2017), evidence suggests that much remains hidden in the current state of research (Martin and Wilson, 2017). For instance, it is still unclear whether and how creativity enhancing strategies can reduce the negative effect of less creative behaviours of employees on their performance and overall organisational effectiveness. The scant research to date highlights that certain Human Resource Development (HRD) interventions can evoke an opportunity of organisational and personal growth, due to developing and unleashing untapped human expertise (Gilley et al, 2011). However, no previous work has empirically tested the fit between strategic HRD and individual creative behaviours (Loewenberger, 2016).
This paper adopts a mixed method research design, demonstrating a more inclusive approach to the challenge of human creativity at work. By encouraging participants to complete a multi-faceted self-assessment tool and engage in creative HRD interventions (workshop) we aim to detect changes in individual creative behaviour. Quantitative data is based on analysis of individual responses to the self-assessment tool, and qualitative data emerges from the workshop.
The preliminary results of the pilot study suggest that participants find such a research approach a useful exercise, contributory to their creative thinking. As a result of the study, a model of creativity will be generated, grounded on the insights from the dynamic componential model of creativity (Amabile and Pratt, 2016), the model of creative problem solving (Treffinger et al, 2008), and the concept of human flourishing (McCormack and Titchen, 2014). A complex self assessment tool will be developed, allowing for the simultaneous and in-depth evaluation of various creativity-related parameters: personality traits, self-concept characteristics, and perceptions of the work environment. Research findings will be published in 3-star journals and a PhD thesis.

employee’s creativity (Buhl et al., 2016; Mihail and Kloutsiniotis, 2016; Chowhan et al.,
2017). Although the problem of individual creativity at work has received significant
attention (Doran and Ryan, 2017; Fortwengel et al., 2017; Preenen et al., 2017), fundamental issues remain under-researched. For instance, it is still unclear how to separate higher and lower levels of creativity and what criteria distinguish more creative people, products, or processes from less creative ones (Martin and Wilson, 2017). The scant research highlights that certain developmental interventions can lead to organisational and personal growth by unleashing untapped human expertise (Gilley et al., 2011). This paper aims to shed more light on the problem of human creativity at work and focuses on the concept of human flourishing as the unit of influence on individual creative performances.

The latter is discussed in the context of the culturally diverse working environment, which results from distinctions in ethnic and social mind-sets of culturally different employees, who encounter daily communications and participate in knowledge transfers. The relevance of the topic is high, considering the scarcity of the relevant knowledge on the interconnection between occupational stress and coping strategies, able to mitigate the negative implications of work-related stress, such as reduced health condition and overall organisational efficiency.
To research the agenda, the article draws attention to strategic management and strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) works of literature and the wellness concept as critical components of the healthy working environment. The paper starts with the outline of the current state of research in the area of work-related stress and explanations of major limitations of the existing studies. It continues with a proposition of the new model of occupational stress. It finishes with specifications of research directions, necessary for testing the model and verifying its applicability to various research settings.

The project Helsingborg - Sweden’s food city was initiated by the destination authorities working at the administrative offices of Helsingborg. As the pre-study states, the project is in a mission to “highlight the culinary ingredient of the brand Helsingborg”. One of the initiatives to realize this mission is to develop an innovation system, that acts as a vehicle for further development of food related products in the area.
To understand the innovation system in the project, we have investigated a range of key insights concerning knowledge, such as how is knowledge created and what kind of methods of knowledge transfer is to be found. We have also analyzed the network of stakeholders and explored what kind of organizational diversity exists, as well as how the collaboration looks like.

To conduct the research, the author chose a spa hotel Ystad Saltsjöbad in southern Sweden as a case study, and conference participants from Lund University and stakeholders of the aforementioned hotel as target groups.
The research showed that the typology of customer values of conference participants from Lund University is represented by two driving forces: search for Efficiency and Esteem. In other words, potential customers consider the location of the conference venue and the sustainability as a leading business concept among the major factors affecting the decision-making process. The typology of customer values of real conference participants has supported the aforementioned findings. A range of recommendations are discussed in the thesis.

Europe” examines the following geographical aspects: territorial differentiation of tourism and recreation resources, contemporary state and perspectives of international tourism development in the context of the world’s mesoregions and single European countries. In order to visualize the information and facilitate the study process, the authors included PowerPoint presentations, which indicate features of international tourism development in the top tourism countries of the macroregion Europe. The manual is finalized by the practice questions, which help to control and consolidate the acquired knowledge. The structure and the order of open questions correspond to the structure and the content of the lectures and presentations in the book. The integral and uniform style of material presentation and knowledge control will help students to acquire necessary skills of system analysis and critical thinking. It will also help understand and interpret modern geographical processes of development of the international tourism market.
