Abstract

This study aims to analyze the psychometric properties of the Creative Potential and Creative Practice (CPPC-17) scale. A heterogeneous sample of 1021 workers from different workplaces in Puerto Rico was used to meet this objective. This study used a quantitative method with an instrumental design. The findings reveal that the CPPC-17 scale has construct validity with a factorial structure of three dimensions with Cronbach's alpha values that fluctuated between .91 and .96. In conclusion, the CPPC-17 scale turned out to be a robust instrument to measure Organizational Creativity, along with these three factors: creative potential, creative practice, and organizational support, in the workplace in Puerto Rico.
