    Dear Colleagues,  this is a friendly reminder of the upcoming deadline for submitting an abstract to the Research Topic: "Cross-Cultural and Intercultural Dimensions of Creativity in the Workplace", published by Frontiers in Psychology and Frontiers in Communication.

    The deadline for submitting an abstract is 3 January 2019.

    The special issue of the Journal is (guest) edited by Prof. Marta Sinclair, from Griffith University, Australia, Prof Lisa Min Tang, from University of Applied Management, Germany, and Prof. Fabrizio Maimone, from LUMSA University, Italy.

    The Research Topic aims to shed light on the influence of culture on creativity in the workplace. The concept of creativity at work is generally associated to the generation of novel ideas and outcomes that are consistent with the achievement of one or few goals. Creativity does not exist in vacuum. It relies on culture to take its form in terms of how it is perceived, expressed or evaluated. Organizational creativity may be influenced by multiple factors. It is also an adaptive/transformation process that drives organizational change. Although effects of culture on individuals' creativity, teams, organizations and institutions have started attracting more attention, research in this respect is sporadic and does not reflect the global nature of today's business.

    It is plausible to argue that the relationship between culture and creativity in the workplace, which has widely been recognized as a critical issue, seems to be still overlooked. There is an emerging need to provide systematic and accurate frameworks on the cross-cultural and intercultural dimensions of creativity in the workplace.

    This Research Topic aims to fill this gap by profiling the current conceptual and empirical research on two main levels: 1. The relationship between cultural diversity and organizational creativity; 2. The role of intercultural relationships in facilitating or obstructing creativity in the workplace.
