Abstract

The study aimed to know the level of administrative empowerment with its dimensions (Delegation of Authority, Training, Effective Communication, Workers’ Motivation, and Building Work Teams) and its impact on workers’ creativity in government hospitals operating in the Yemeni countryside. For achieving the study objectives, the descriptive-analytical approach was used, and the study population consisted of all the workers in three governmental hospitals operating in the Al-Hujaria districts in Taiz Governorate: Khalifa Hospital, Al Nashma Hospital, and Alshheed Adnan Hospital, with a total number of (378) individuals. By the comprehensive survey method, the study questionnaire was distributed to the available study population (208) individuals, due to the decrease in employment because of the siege and the security conditions that Taiz is going through. (150) of them responded. Only (145) questionnaires were valid for analysis, at a rate of (70%) of the total distributed questionnaires. By analyzing the data using descriptive analysis methods and simple and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS program, the results of the study concluded that there is a positive impact of administrative empowerment on the workers’ creativity in government hospitals understudy, and also that there is a positive impact of the four administrative empowerment’s dimensions: delegation of authority, training, effective communication, and workers’ motivation on the workers’ creativity; while there was no impact of the team-building on the workers’ creativity in the government hospitals understudy, due to the variation in the workers’ awareness level of administrative empowerment practices.
