Abstract
The success of a business in the face of competition is inextricably linked to the ability of a transformational leader to foster a climate of creativity in the workplace. This study presents the findings of an analysis of the role of transformational leaders in fostering a climate of creativity in organizations. Multiple regression analysis is used to analyze data collected from respondents who are randomly selected from employees at several companies and then processed using the SmartPLS application. The researcher developed an instrument for the variables transformational leadership and climate of creativity based on several instruments used in previous research. The findings indicate that there is a strong correlation between transformational leadership and a climate of creativity, implying that transformational leadership plays a critical role in fostering creativity in the workplace.
Highlights
Today's market climate requires companies to revitalize existing goods and services to keep up with rapidly evolving consumer demands
This finding is consistent with previous research conducted by (Redmond et al, 1993), which found that leaders who provide room and demonstrate appreciation for their subordinates' creative potential foster an environment conducive to employee creativity
The findings of this study provide compelling evidence that transformational leadership and an innovative environment have a positive effect on organizational success
Summary
Today's market climate requires companies to revitalize existing goods and services to keep up with rapidly evolving consumer demands. Businesses that offer only dated products and services may perish, especially in developing countries, where innovation is constantly emphasized (Hon, 2012). Creativity has become a critical component of adapting to the rapidly evolving global business climate. Organizations fuel practitioners' and academics' efforts to identify factors that promote creative behavior in groups and organizations (Bass et al, 2003). In this regard, leaders compete to motivate employees to optimize their creative thinking to generate ideas and creative thinking to compete against the company's competitors
