Is the Creative Tendency Affected by Organizational Leadership and Employee Empowerment? An Empirical Analysis of U.S. Federal Employees

Abstract

Creativity is a focal area of interest in public administration because it is an important resource that helps organizations in the public sector respond effectively to complex and growing challenges. The impact of organizational leadership and employee empowerment on creative tendency was examined empirically using the 2013 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS) data. The findings suggest that organizational leadership factors have different impacts on the creative tendency. Furthermore, employees are more likely to have a high creative tendency when they are given the opportunity to be informed about their organization’s performance, are provided with training and development, have autonomy on the job, and receive rewards based on performance.
