Creativity is one of the fundamental elements to be taken into consideration in the
conceptual design phases of the development of new industrial products. It is
widely agreed that every individual is creative by nature and that his or her
creative capacity may be conditioned by different variables within the work
environment. Yet, studies that analyse these variables often treat users in a
generalised manner, without paying attention to their specific characteristics.
This study sets out from the hypothesis that the user's psychological profile
influences the way in which the work environment affects the designer's
creativity when addressing the conceptual design phase. Thus, the aim of this
study will be to determine whether developing a conceptual design proposal in a
"relaxing" or an "arousing" work environment will affect all designers equally or,
conversely, it will have a greater effect on some of them depending on their
psychological profile.
Consequently, the first stage of the study consisted in characterising each
member of the control group using the NEO-FFI test. The different users were
then distributed into four groups according to the results obtained. In a second
phase, each designer developed conceptual proposals for a problem in each of the
environments defined for the study. A neutral environment was added as a control element. Subsequently, the CPSS methodology was used to evaluate the
creativity of each of the proposals designed in each of the environments.
The conclusions from the study show that there is a relationship between some
personality profiles and the level of creativity achieved by the designer according
to the work environment in which the conceptual proposals have been developed. [-]
