Creativity in the life of human society always plays an important role and without it you cannot imagine the development of society. Many human activities lead to the production of new and useful ideas and solutions that are essential to human creativity. Without them you cannot imagine any scientific research. Creativity is the meaning of human life. The creative work is human self-fulfillment, happiness, meaning of life. It is a way of self-regulation, taking care of your health. It is a way of care, development and protection of the environment, the way of caring for their growth and the growth of others. Each of us has an ability to be creative.

The increasingly rich and diverse literature on creativity has its core in psychology, but spans the cognitive sciences from artificial intelligence to philosophy and borrows from the wider humanities. Perhaps because of this immense breadth, there remains considerable disagreement with respect to the identity of the object of research. How to define creativity? According to the “standard definition,” creativity consists of “effectiveness and originality.” This definition is (relatively) consensual and therefore appears to capture something common to academic concepts of creativity. I conduct a conceptual analysis of the definition; thereby, I isolate and describe two ambiguities. Firstly, the definition leaves open the choice of the context and norms against which to measure originality and effectiveness. Secondly, it does not discuss the possible role of a subjective judge. My goal is not to propose yet another model of creativity, but to clearly identify the possible meanings of the word creativity in academic research. The existence of different interpretations does not necessarily reflect a fundamental disagreement about reality, but rather a failure to achieve consensus on a shared technical language. Therefore, simply recognizing and acknowledging the competition between diverse interpretations can form the basis for successful communication and for a complementary division of labor; it could improve the viability of interdisciplinary collaborations and prevent unnecessary fragmentation of the field.

Aim/purpose – Creativity and innovation are crucial for attaining a competitive ad-vantage for organizations. However, dynamic changes in the environment, like the ones induced by the COVID-19 pandemic, and also other developments force scholars and practitioners to critically assess solutions once considered valid and functioning. The pandemic has affected the ICT sector in two ways, on the one hand, by impacting organ-izations’ work and operations and forcing employees to work remotely, and on the other, through the global transition to a virtual world. This shift has forced the ICT sector to act quickly and deliver. Adopting an interpretive approach, this research aims at identifying these characteristics of an organizational culture and leadership style which foster crea-tivity and innovation. Design/methodology/approach – As a result of the adopted interpretivist exploratory approach, a qualitative research design was chosen. 19 in-depth interviews with repre-sentatives of the ICT sector in Poland were conducted. A purposeful and theoretical sampling was used. For the analysis, a combination of deductive and abductive reason-ing was employed. Findings – The analysis has shown that a pro-innovative leader should have traits of all the leadership styles: transformational, authentic, and servant, with an additional, new component – cooperative leadership. A pro-innovative organizational culture should foremost be characterized by openness. The importance of open communication but also openness towards the possibility of making mistakes was emphasized. Research implications/limitations – The theoretical implications include the presenta-tion of characteristics of a pro-innovative organizational culture and leadership style in a post-COVID-19 reality but also a very specific context of the ICT industry. The paper also contributes to the literature on leadership by introducing the cooperative leadership style. Originality/value/contribution – The originality of the paper lies within the adoption of the interpretivist approach and a new perspective on well-known processes. The value of the paper is that the analysis has been conducted in the most innovative sector, the ICT sector, considering the impact of COVID-19 on its operation.

Innovation of products is one of the most important factor of competition therefore supporting of creative actions of employers is one of the intentionally introduced changes in the organization. Historical analysis of development of management theories from one hand and projects of organization of work spaces form the other hand show co-evolution of them. That is main changes of management theories join with changes in design. In this paper we try to identify (using projects from web sites and specialist publication) a few trends relating to create work space supporting creativity. One of the important trends is imitation of the solutions implemented by companies that are considered innovative. Therefor you wonder if spatial solutions support changes in management practices or rather replace them. In other words, if in some cases the management is not replaced by the design.

The paper surveys research into the determinats of scientific creativity during the last two decades. The survey relies mainly on the work of D. Simonton. One repeated pattern is the role of extreme productivity in creativity. In contrast to the earlier image we emphasize both convergent and divergent processes regarding internal determinants of creativity. Several Darwninian models highlight the separation of cycles of production and those of selection. The role of social context and reception is also centralized. The study of life paths points out the importance of cultural and historical boundaries, and the role of mentors.

Problematyka artykułu koncentruje się wokół zagadnień związanych z kreatywnością pracowników, z uwzględnieniem zróżnicowania wynikającego ze specyfiki stosowanych form zatrudnienia. W artykule zaprezentowano wyniki badań własnych. Pokazują one, że w badanych organizacjach oczekiwanie kreatywności pracowników ma w większym stopniu charakter deklaratywny niż rzeczywisty. W badanych organizacjach w zasadzie nie wykorzystuje się kreatywności jako kryterium oceny kandydatów do pracy i pracowników. Nie stosuje się też technik wspierających rozwój kreatywności pracowników. Przede wszystkim w specyfice zadań wykonywanych przez pracowników upatruje się czynników wspierających bądź osłabiających ich kreatywność.

The problems described in the article are focused on the issues connected with the workers’ creativity taking into consideration their different forms of employment. The article presents the outcome of the own research. The results based on analyzed organizations show that the expectations concerning workers’ creativity are more of declarative type than the real one. In fact they do not use the creativity as the criterion of evaluation of both the candidates for a job and the employees. They do not apply techniques supporting the workers creativity. They look at workers’ tasks as the factors that either support or weaken their creativity.

The objective of the present study is to identify rules governing the distribution and thematic structure of creative activities, using the region of Lower Silesia in southwestern Poland as an example. This empirical study is based on the data obtained from the Central Registration and Information on Business (CEIDG) as of 2018. Rural areas (compared to cities) generally display a lower level of economic activity. Analysis results confirm that craft-based activities are usually carried out outside large cities. A clear structure of specialisation among creative activities indicates that rural areas should mainly undertake activities that are consistent with the character of a particular local setting and are strongly connected with local conditions.

The authors deal with an extension and modification of construction kits in order to create a simple tool for assessing the level of creativity according to the products made by pupils. The article describes a modified construction set – a creative set, divided into system and non-system parts. In the context of the product design, the use of non-system parts indicates the pupil‟s creativity performance. The creative set was tested out on a sample of 62 elementary school pupils. Subsequently, the authors put the products to analyse.

The creative sector has become an important source used to create competitive advantages of the cities. The importance of creative industries in urban development was spotted more than a decade ago. Creative capital is perceived as an impulse and engine of urban changes, a source of new advantages and attractions. Some point out that it mainly develops in big cities, where the authorities deliberately implement measures aimed at supporting and attracting creative entities. The purpose of this study is to present the condition of the creative sector in Warsaw and the way its functioning is perceived by its representatives. It also discusses the support of city authorities for the development of the creative sector.

This article not only discusses the concept of translation from the point of view of manipulation, creativity, and cultural adaptation, but it also provides examples of translations or adaptations in English and in Polish. I compare various definitions of manipulation, and conclude that manipulation seems to be the defining feature of translation, especially in the case of texts that do not require lexical precision and in which the choice of vocabulary may be, to a certain extent, random. In addition, manipulation should not be analyzed without reference to wider ideological and socio-cultural contexts in which it takes place. At the word level, however, manipulation often takes the form of simple, conscious or not, lexical substitutions meant to produce a faithful translation.

For this purpose, innovation laboratory uses brainstorming method of collaborative search for solutions. Each participant of the session can anonymously report a lot of the strangest ideas that are not immediately evaluated by others. Deferred evaluation is to encourage everyone to freely and un-conventional thinking.

The article discusses the contemporary status of reading in the context of theory and practice of reading. Understanding the concept of reading is between being (a textual object) and being (reading subject). The internal dynamics of this category is due to the interpretation of different or even conflicting content and quality that it describes. We call the “reading” the affective-intellectual activity of the reading individual; cultural practice contained in reading but not identical with it; saved text as an object that exists regardless of its receipt; and finally a list of texts that must be known by an educational institution, social or environmental group.

Rola nauczyciela w kształtowaniu postawy twórczej jest ogromna. Musi on być nie tylko „trenerem”, który rozwija zdolności twórcze, ale także twórczym wychowawcą kształtującym całą osobowość wychowanka [por. Ciechanowska 2007: 103]. Rozwijanie twórczości nie jest jednak zadaniem łatwym. Zdaniem K.J. Szmidta, istnieją co najmniej cztery grupy przeszkód w rozwijaniu twórczości uczniów, które przybliżyłam w niniejszym artykule

Japanese English (JE) refers to the English spoken by Japanese citizens. This paper characterizes JE by examining its lexicogrammatical features produced by five speakers participating in experimental recordings. Drawing on the initiatives taken by Cogo and Dewey’s seminal work (2012), this study presents nine lexicogrammatical features which are taken to be typical of JE. It is shown that one decisive factor in creating a new variant is the formation of an alternative form to its native counterpart and this mechanism is sourced from the speaker’s multiple knowledge about two languages.

The author reviews the studies of creativity from the aspect of what relationship can be established between creativity in either everyday life or outstanding creators and optimism, health and subjective well-being. According to her reasoning both kinds of creativity is probably contingent to optimism – except the case of artists, as the author hasn’t found any data supporting the correlation. The relationship between everyday creativity and subjective well-being can be also concluded.

Giftedness is not simply about exceptional abilities, but crucially involves a special kind of approach and attitude, the basis of which lies in a nervous system allowing for unusual modes of perception and ways of reaction that pave the way to outstanding achievements. This is a deviation that is often annoying for the society and may thus give rise to problems of integration. As a consequence, it is generally the “average gifted” that can be identified as gifted – those who have exceptional abilities and differ from the average only to an extent still tolerated by their environment. Regular procedures – whether assessments, teaching methods or socializing effects – are less effective in the case of truly ingenious thinkers, because these procedures are all fitted for the average or near average.

This work deals with the topic of creativity understood as a complex path carried out along all lifetime and that cannot be attributable to the mere accumulation of concepts. The changing social scenario promotes the dimension of the possible, the nonlinearity, the overcoming of preestablished trajectories of knowledge by triggering processes of meta-knowledge and metarepresentation, a dimension in which the creative mind finds a breeding ground. The work explores the relationship between technology and creativity in consideration of the peculiar segment, the artistic one, where with greater evidence the work of the creative is unfolded.
