Passionately Curious: How passion affects creativity in the context of supervisor support by Professor Tumpa Dey
Contact Email : tumpad@gmail.com Bio (URL) : https://in.linkedin.com/in/tumpa-dey-bb9a384 In a sample of 400 employees working in 7 different large as well as moderately-sized manufacturing and engineering companies in and around Jamshedpur, India, I plugged a research gap recognized by creativity experts in the form of identifying a motivational mechanism other than intrinsic motivation that could affect creativity. As hypothesized, HP positively related to employee creativity, work engagement partially mediated this relationship in a supportive atmosphere. Same-source common method bias was reduced by employing dyadic data, both from the employees as well as their supervisors. Professor Tumpa Dey

Applied Theatre as Participatory Action Research: Empowering Youth, Reframing Depression by Dr. Jason Sawyer
Contact Email : jmsawyer@nsu.edu This article documents a theatre based participatory research project implemented in response to an adolescent suicide. Integrating principles of play-building as qualitative research, youth participatory action research, and community education, youth ensemble participants build a play based on youth experiences of depression. Findings define depression, address stigma, deconstruct depictions of depression in the media, critique institutionalized helping systems, and offer hope for the future. Implications for collaborative youth engaged participatory research are explored alongside participatory media, stigma, community education, youth voice, social supports, and alternative paradigm research.
