Play and Productivity: Enhancing the Creative Climate at Workplace Meetings with Play Cues
West, Samuel E.; Hoff, Eva; Carlsson, Ingegerd
American Journal of Play, v9 n1 p71-86 Fall 2016
The authors investigate the links between playfulness and creative organizational climates established by other research, using play cues--objects and sweets--they provide participants halfway through workplace meetings. Their findings suggest such cues significantly enhance the creative climate and playfulness in workplace meetings without risking meeting productivity.
