Creative workers may resist coordination attempts, viewing them as controlling, managerialist, or constraining their artistic expression (e.g., Hackley and Kover, 2007 and Kellogg et al., 2006). According to Lampel et al. (2000), such tensions, while common to many, if not most professions, are particularly acute in the creative industries, which are characterized simultaneously by a strong bias for autonomy and the need for creative coherence in product design.
