Drawing upon the objectification theory, I posit that being viewed or treated as a non-human instrument for organizational use (i.e., objectification) hinders individual creativity. Further, I examine the underlying mechanisms and propose that objectification dampens creativity by constraining felt autonomy, decreasing a sense of uniqueness, and undermining intrinsic motivation. In a series of studies, I find evidence largely in support of these predictions. I discuss the theoretical contributions of these findings and the practical implications for organizations and individual professionals.
