Abstract

The aim of the study is to diagnose the relationship between wages and creativity. The study uses the case of a municipal company in Poland, where we measured creativity at each job position. In this way, the research focuses on the creativity of a workplace rather than individual endowments of creativity, such as employees' cognitive and noncognitive skills. The paper confirms that creativity explains wages and their dynamics. It also indicates that both the number of jobs with creative tasks and the disparity in wages within the company increased. Workers engaged in more creative labor were typically paid more than those who performed routine jobs. The study has also found that employees with higher creativity rank enjoyed the greatest increase in wages between 2009 and 2020.
