Polymorphic nature of motivation in creative people. Implications for teaching

Summary/Abstract: In the article the hypothesis of motivational polymorphism in creativity is formulated and confirmed. The hypothesis assumes that activation of creative behaviour needs many different types of motivation, which are variations of one main motivation. The theoretical basis of this article rests on Józef Kozielecki’s concept of psychotransgressionism, which assumes that creative behaviour can be activated by three motivations: self-esteem motivation (hubristic), motivation of the meaning of life and motivation of self-efficiency. In this study on a sample of interpreting artists (N = 133), creative behaviour was measured using the STZ questionnaire (Strzałecki 2003). The motivational orientations were measured using the Polish adaptation of Power Motivation Scale (PMS) by Tokarz and Trzebińska (2011), the Polish adaptation of Life Attitude Profile questionnaire (LAP-R) by Klamut (2010) and the Polish adaptation of General Self- Efficacy Scale questionnaire (GSES) by Juczyński (2001). The results confirmed the hypothesis of a polymorphic nature of motivation in creative people. Educational implications of results are discussed.
