The man would not be able to survive without creativity. However, a few decades ago team research work was also given a prominent place. Team work was imposed, on one hand, by the need for new products and knowledge, and on the other, by the fact that as a social being the man feels best in a group. The goal of the thesis was to acknowledge the characteristics of a good team, to determine the type of influence that team work has on creativity, to investigate why and when it is appropriate to form teams, and to search or recognise methods to encourage creativity. One of the objectives was also to find out why it is more suitable to form teams rather than solving determined tasks individually. But, above all, we wanted to recognize what are the differences in creativity of the team members in comparison to those, who solve the same task individually. On the basis of reviewed literature and examined lectures videos, in the initial chapters of the thesis we presented creativity, team and team creativity. Afterwards, in the empirical part we carried out interviews with professionals in the fields of economy (Sumida d.o.o., Blejska Dobrava), educational system (Elementary School Koper) and health care (Valdoltra Hospital). After the transcription of recorded interviews, we organised the records into logical units and with the help of coding we established an evaluation. Besides the interviews, we also questioned the team members in enterprises, educational system, heath care, sports, tourism, theatre, in a music band and a fire brigade. We realised that it is indeed more appropriate to work in a team, especially due to the synergy effects in all fields, better motivation, bigger flexibility and learning speed, and due to a greater possibility of reaching creative achievements. We concluded that a creative team should have a good common goal, nobility in mission, curios and diverse members, among whom there is mutual respect and relaxed atmosphere, where they use creativity motivation methods and where members, as satisfied individuals, voluntarily connect between each other and contribute to changes for the better with common forces.

Brez ustvarjalnosti človek ne bi mogel preživeti. Pred par desetletji pa je prišlo v ospredje tudi timsko raziskovalno delo. Timsko delo je na eni strani narekovala potreba po novih izdelkih in znanju, po drugi strani pa to, da se človek kot skupinsko bitje najbolje počuti v skupini. Namen diplomske naloge je bil spoznati značilnosti dobrega tima, ugotoviti, kakšen vpliv ima timsko delo na ustvarjalnost, raziskati zakaj in kdaj je primerno oblikovati time in poiskati oziroma spoznati načine za spodbujanje ustvarjalnosti. Zanimalo nas je tudi, zakaj je primernejše oblikovati time, kot pa da bi vsak samostojno reševal določeno nalogo. Predvsem pa smo želeli izvedeti kakšne so razlike v ustvarjalnosti članov tima v primerjavi s tistimi, ki enako nalogo rešujejo samostojno. Na osnovi prebrane literature in ogledanih video posnetkov predavanj smo v začetnih poglavjih diplomske naloge predstavili kreativnost, tim in kreativnost v timu. Nato smo v empiričnem delu izvedli intervjuje s strokovnjaki na področju gospodarstva (Sumida d.o.o, Blejska Dobrava), šolstva (Osnovna šola Koper) in zdravstva (Bolnišnica Valdoltra). Po opravljenem transkriptu posnetih intervjujev smo vse zapise uredili v smiselne enote in s pomočjo kodiranja prišli do sodb. Poleg intervjujev smo anketirali še člane timov v podjetjih, šolstvu, zdravstvu, športu, turizmu, gledališču, v glasbeni skupini ter v gasilski brigadi. Ugotovili smo, da je res primernejše delati v timu, in sicer predvsem zaradi sinergijskih učinkov na vseh področjih, boljše motivacije, večje prožnosti in hitrosti učenja ter zaradi veliko večje verjetnosti nastajanja ustvarjalnih dosežkov. Spoznali smo, da mora ustvarjalen tim imeti dober skupinski cilj, plemenitost poslanstva, radovedne in raznolike člane, med katerimi vlada medsebojno spoštovanje in sproščeno vzdušje, kjer uporabljajo metode za spodbujanje ustvarjalnosti in kjer se člani kot zadovoljni posamezniki prostovoljno povežejo med seboj in s skupnimi močmi pripomorejo k spremembam na boljše.
