Abstract:Organizational creativity is indispensable in a highly competitive and dynamic academic environment; and the role of individuals is mostly unquantifiable. Hence the study argued that the ideas, novel research output, patents, grants of the academic staff depend on the flexible wellbeing of the workforce which is at a low level in Nigeria. Thus, the paper investigated the role of personality traits on the relationship between flexible wellbeing and organizational creativity. The paper implemented a cross-sectio… Show more
“…Several previous studies have shown that personality is related to mental health [12][13][14][15] and psychological well-being [16]. In general, it is explained that an individual's character is one of the determinants of their mental health.…”
Mining is a high-risk field of work, especially for women. A work environment that is prone to accidents is the basis for the application of strict work rules. This risk causes concern and has an impact on the individual’s process of achieving a flourishing life. Although, individual personality considerations also play a role in achieving flourishing. This study aims to determine the relationship between the big five personalities and development. This research is nonexperimental quantitative research with a correlational approach. The research respondents were 32 female employees who worked in the mining company. The age of the respondents was in the range of 20–54 years. The majority of respondents had a bachelor’s degree. As many as 68.75% of employees work in the office and 31.25% work in the field. The scale used is the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI) and the Flourishing Scale (FS). The analysis was performed with multiple linear regression. The results showed that big five personalities simultaneously does not affect flourishing (R = 0.515; P > 0.05). However, partially agreeableness and conscientiousness influence flourishing (R = 0.493; P < 0.05). That is, women who work in mining with agreeableness and conscientiousness tend to flourish more easily than extraversion, emotional stability, and openness to experience. However, the personalities of the big five were not an important consideration in achieveing a flourish life for women who work in mining company.

“…It is one of the novel efforts that provides empirical support to show a positive relationship between psychological, malleable and trainable attributes with employee creativity. This study also helps to address several gaps, including the need to identify individual characteristics (Korzynski et al ., 2020; Oldham and Cummings, 1996; Umukoro et al ., 2021) and psychological processes (Cai et al ., 2018; Choi, 2011; Yu et al ., 2019)that influence the creativity of employees in the workplace.…”

“…Both the antecedents are malleable and may be improved with appropriate interventions by internal human resource (HR) professionals and line managers. This study also helps to address the need for research on individual characteristics (Korzynski et al ., 2020; Oldham and Cummings, 1996; Umukoro et al ., 2021)and psychological processes (Cai et al ., 2018) that influence the creativity of employees in the workplace.…”
PurposeUnlike multinational companies, small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs) have budget constraints and, thereby, cannot invest heavily in improving the creativity of employees. They look for alternative budget-friendly ways to do the same. The authors of the current paper attempt to identify two psychological-based constructs which positively influence creativity among employees. Both these psychological constructs may be improved among the employees using suitable interventions from the human resource (HR) professionals and line managers working in the organization. This study is an attempt to test the influence of organization-based self-esteem (OBSE) and psychological capital (PC) (both malleable) on creative performance behaviour (CPB) among SME employees.Design/methodology/approachValidated instruments were used to collect data. Structural equation model (SEM) was used to evaluate the 377 responses collected from the employees working in three SME's in India. All three SMEs work in the area of innovative process design and require a high level of creativity among employees.FindingsPC fully mediates the relationship between OBSE and the CPBs of employees. Employees experiencing higher levels of OBSE will develop higher self-esteem, and these employees will exhibit more creative behaviours, increasing the likelihood of achieving creative results.Research limitations/implicationsThis study provides valuable inputs to the creativity literature as it describes the process of how self-esteem influences the creativity of an employee. HR professionals working in SMEs can work on enhancing the OBSE and PC (both malleable) of employees to improve creativity among employees.Originality/valueTo the best of the researcher's knowledge, this is the first attempt to identify frugal ways to improve creativity, especially in SMEs.
“…Sejalan dengan ini, beberapa studi tentang kepribadian menunjukkan keterkaitan dengan kesehatan mental (Bedaso & Han, 2021;Brailovskaia & Margraf, 2018;Bucher et al, 2019;Zhang et al, 2018) dan kesejahteraan psikologis (Umukoro et al, 2021). Penelitian lain juga menunjukkan kebribadian, seperti ekstraversi, agreeableness, openness to experience, consenciousness, neoritisme, dan honesty-humality memiliki hubungan dengan flourishing (Daigle et al, 2022;HalilEkşi İbrahimAlbayrak, FüsunEkşi, 2022;MacIntyre et al, 2019;Umucu et al, 2018).…”
Individu memiliki keterlibatan, makna, hubungan, dan prestasi sebagai komponen subjektif dan objektif dalam dirinya untuk mampu bertumbuh. orang yang sangat flourish yakin akan kemampuan dirinya untuk memiliki hubungan sosial yang luas dan memuaskan. Kemampuan seperti ini sangat diperlukan oleh perempuan yang bekerja. Salah satu karakter yang dapat menunjang adalah alpha female. Ini karena alpha female digambarkan sebagai perempuan alpha atau perempuan yang menjadi pemimpin sekelompok individu di lingkungan mereka. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh alpha female terhadap flourishing pada perempuan bekerja. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif cross sectional dengan metode accidental sampling yang digunakan dalam melibatkan sejumlah subjek penelitian. Subjek penelitian adalah karyawan perempuan yang memiliki jabatan dan bertanggung jawab memimpin suatu tim. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah 35 karyawati yang belum menikah dan 27 karyawati yang sudah menikah. Rentang usia subjek tersebar dari 17-53 tahun. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini ialah Alpha Female Inventory (AFI) dan Flourishing Scale (FS). Analisa data menggunakan regresi linear berganda. Hasil penelitian menemukan alpha female secara simultan mampu memprediksi flourishing (R=0.646; p<0.01) sebesar 41.7%. Namun, hanya alpha female leadership yang memiliki pengaruh terhadap flourishing (β=-0.590; p<0.01). Sementara, alpha female strength (r=-0.355; p<0.01) dan alpha female low introversion (r=0.389; p<0.01) hanya memiliki keterkaitan dengan flourishing. Hasil juga menunjukkan status pernikahan memiliki keterkaitan dengan flourishing (r=0.410; p<0.01) dan alpha female low introversion (r=0.271; p<0.05). Namun, status pernikahan tidak terkait dengan alpha female leadership (r=-0.117; p>0.05) maupun alpha female strength (r=0.106; p>0.05). Artinya, perempuan yang bekerja akan memiliki flourishing yang tinggi bila alpha female leadership mereka cenderung lemah. Ini juga dapat terkait dengan alpha female strength yang tidak dominan, dan alpha female low introversion yang kuat.
