The success of an organization is heavily reliant on the creativity of its employees. Research has shown that transformational leadership is a critical factor in fostering employee creativity in an organization. Transformational leaders inspire and motivate employees to go beyond their job requirements and think outside the box. This study aims to investigate the effect of transformational leadership on employee creativity in an organization.
Using a quantitative research approach, data was collected from employees of various organizations through a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire contained items on transformational leadership behavior and employee creativity. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS to investigate the relationship between transformational leadership and employee creativity. The results showed a significant positive relationship between transformational leadership and employee creativity in organizations.
Furthermore, the study found that the effect of transformational leadership on employee creativity was mediated by employee empowerment. Transformational leaders empower employees by providing them with autonomy, resources, and support to carry out their work. Employee empowerment was found to significantly mediate the relationship between transformational leadership and employee creativity. The findings suggest that organizations should focus on developing transformational leaders who can inspire and empower their employees to be more creative and innovative in their work.
