Employees\u2019 development of creativity has been suggested as a key factor to the success of a company; as a result, it is invaluable to develop an instrument that helps technology companies evaluate their organizational atmosphere and accordingly, implement necessary innovation. The purpose of this study was to, based on interviews, develop an inventory for understanding organizational factors that influence their employees\u2019 creativity development in technology companies. This study included two phases: interview and pretest of the inventory. Thirty highly creative people in the field of technology participated in the interview and 283 employees in technology companies participated in the pretest. Data analysis methods included content analysis, internal consistency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, Pearson correlation, t-test, frequency, and descriptives. The findings in this study revealed that the developed inventory (The Inventory of Organizational Factors to Creativity Development , IOF-CD) had satisfactory reliability and validity. The IOF-CD comprised four factors; the Cronbach\u2019s \u03b1 coefficients for the four factors and all items were .86, .88, .87, .77, and .94, respectively. In\u00a0addition to having a significant correlation with self-report scores of creativity, the score of IOF-CD had power in distinguishing those who were creative from those who were not.<\/p>\n
