Abstract
This study aimed to understand how designers motivate themselves to exert their creativity in development based on their own values and to examine the factors that make this possible. The following findings were derived from the interviews with the 32 designers. In development that requires creativity, designers want to be as autonomous as possible and actively try to be involved in development based on their own values and those of the organization with which they are fully satisfied. To do so, they adjust their values by selecting part of their own and the organization's values. It can be said from the findings that designers may be able to exert their creativity more in development by (A) actively approaching the values of the organization while adhering to one's own values, which are social-oriented, or (B) completely avoiding the values of the organization while adhering to one's own values.

The Process of Designers to Motivate Themselves for Their Creative Performance
This study aimed to understand how designers motivate themselves to exert their creativity in development based on their own values and to examine the factors that make this possible. The following findings were derived from the interviews with the 32 designers. In development that requires creativity, designers want to be as autonomous as possible and actively try to be involved in development based on their own values and those of the organization with which they are fully satisfied. To do so, they adjust their values by selecting part of their own and the organization's values. It can be said from the findings that designers may be able to exert their creativity more in development by (A) actively approaching the values of the organization while adhering to one's own values, which are social-oriented, or (B) completely avoiding the values of the organization while adhering to one's own values.
