INTRODUCTION
In recent years, the dynamics of motivation, emotion, and group interactions within the context of creative start-ups have garnered significant attention from researchers and practitioners alike. BBVET, as a representative endeavour in the realm of creative start-ups, provides an intriguing setting to investigate the intricate relationship between motivation and group dynamics. This article endeavours to delve into the nexus of motivational factors and their impact on group dynamics within the specific context of the BBVET project, ultimately aiming to shed light on the underlying mechanisms that drive creativity and innovation in start-up environments.
