– The purpose of this study was to empirically examine the impact of self leadership on employee creativity and workplace innovative orientation moderated by the creativity climate of the organization.
– This study as a unique approach has explored the dimension of self-leadership in connection with employee creativity,creativity climate and workplace innovation preparedness.
– The results of structural equation modelling analysis based on the sample responses obtained from the research,design and development units of a select number of organizations across industries in the Indian context revealed the significant relationships among self-leadership,employee creativity,creativity climate and workplace innovative orientation. Further,the moderating effect of creativity climate was conducted using post hoc on employee creativity and workplace innovative orientation.
– The major limitation of the study lies in relatively small sample size compared to large population group,inference of causality on cross-sectional data and absence of any qualitative analysis through the interaction with sample respondents.
– Although the findings from this study are limited to the scope of a small number of surveyed organizations compared to the large population,it brings out interesting insights in Indian context for future researches in this direction,especially for exploring the linkages among self-leadership,creativity and innovation.
