| Summary: | Within a work system, once a task becomes routine, employees performing it may cease from making any judgment or decision to change the way of doing that the task. Such behaviour may affect negatively on employees’ productivity.

This paper reviews previous studies to identify whether routinization hinders employees’ creativity. |
