Abstract
Past research shows risk-taking positively influences creative thinking and confidence in originality. The present work aims at evaluating if there is a correlation between adaptive creativity and risk-taking, as well as adaptive creativity and unconventional behaviors in the workplace. The results indicate that there is a positive strong correlation between those who take a lot of risks and adaptive creativity with a correlation of 0.55 at (p<0.01). Furthermore, results indicate that there was no significance found between unconventional behavior. Risk and unconventional behavior were found to have no correlation as well.
