| Abstract | There is a growing interest in a more inclusive conception of the activity of the ���change process��� (person; product; process and press) particularly the aspects of the creative sub-process concerned with person and product. The variables Cognitive style and Idea style; have a common heritage that is rooted in a dichotomy concerned at one end with ���adaption��� (improvements) while at the other end with ���innovation��� (novelty). These characteristics have been used to describe the ���creative concept��� where to date the emphasis has been on the pole concerned with ���innovation continuum���. The pole is hence also concerned with adaption; but while the pole being a necessary and central aspect of both variables has nevertheless received relatively little attention.�� In this study; the primary objective was therefore to evaluate the coherence of Kirton���s ���cognitive style��� measure of adaptive ��� innovative behavioural preferences with the measures of Idea styles. ��Therefore; another related objetionship between the cognitive style and ���psychological climate���; consisting of ideas generated and problems identified as sub-components. The results show the ���innovative pole��� of cognitive style is significantly related to both innovative idea style and the quantity of ideas generated (it is also explicitly supported by the facets of the personality variable ���openness���). However; while a negative relationship between cognitive style and the adaptive style of ideas is a central aspect of Kirton���s cognitive style theory; no significant negative relationship was found. Instead; the adaptive style of ideas has a positive relationship to a factor within the measure of psychological climate or ���the opportunity to contribute to change���. These findings position Kirton���s cognitive style measure as primarily in the domain of ���personality��� and only partially coherent with the domain of ���idea style��� the latter a carrier; rather than ���a component of style���. Furthermore; while the variableogical climate show no significant relationship; they provide differential support to the ���first two stages��� of the change proc |
