In this study, we focused on higher cognitive abilities such as logical and critical thinking, and examined the mechanisms by which these abilities are related to the execution of creative performance in the workplace. The most important result was the clarification of changes in creative thinking attitudes by examining the interaction between individual characteristics such as personality and thinking attitudes, and communication within the group. Specifically, the following interesting relationships were revealed: (1) among critical thinking attitudes, inquiry-mind promotes active divergence tendency, while evidence-based judgment increases premature convergence. (2) Those with low conscientiousness have a high active divergence tendency, but when team learning is active, the premature convergence tendency is increased.
