Research question

"In organizations where employees perceive creative climate, they are more likely engage in a higher level motivation in their work that positively impact their perceptions about organizational innovation that ultimately enhance creativity in the organization."

Sisyphus' punishment is to roll a stone up a hill for all enternity, a grueling task. The punishment indicates the negative nature of work and how being told to do something is bad for people.

"He knows himself to be the master of his days." This indicates that when man can control his fate he would surely find happiness.

The first wave of automation drove out artisans, but the upcoming waves of automation could return artisans back to the world.

The Myth of Sisyphus

P2: Implications: Camus suggests that Sisyphus (and anyone else) may find happiness and peace in his eternal task, for the sole reason that he is his own master.

P3: Implications: A more creative workplace increases the effort put into work, and improves the environment in which work is done.

P3: Objections: Employers and bosses may fear that too much creative liberty could impact the quality of work and products.

P2: Objections: One might argue that Sisyphus is unhappy because of his eternal task, thus opposing the claims of Camus.

P3: Limitations: The type of work that happens at certain jobs may naturally limit the amount of creativity that employees can use.

P2: Limitations: This story is a myth and people who work do not eternally roll stones up hills so it makes it hard to compare the two so closely.

Connect to Alternate Perspectives

Limitations: Some work may naturally not be suited for creative input, and there is not yet a solution to create income for people who would become artisans again.

Implications: Increase the creativity of people everywhere and increase their workplace autonomy.
