“…The results of this study also reveal that the level of creativity in the petrochemical companies is at a moderate level. This is consistent with the study of Durrah et al (2018), which revealed a moderate level of creativity in the petrochemical industry in Oman. This finding can be justified because of the freedom given to employees in the petrochemical sector to carry out their work and to investigate problems, which may lead to the use of new means in the performance of tasks, which in turn can lead to better solutions to problems, the possibility of change and a spirit of innovation in the job.…”

PurposeThis empirical study aims to explore the impact of two facets of organizational pride (namely, emotional and attitudinal) on employee creativity in petrochemical companies in the Sultanate of Oman.Design/methodology/approachUsing a simple random sample technique, data were collected using a questionnaire from 278 respondents working in five major petrochemical organizations operating in Oman. Data were examined using structural equation modeling.FindingsThe findings revealed that attitudinal organizational pride is the only dimension of organizational pride that has a direct significant positive effect on creativity, while emotional pride does not affect creativity.Research limitations/implicationsThe current study is considered among the pioneering studies in its contextual field. However, despite its importance, it has several limitations. First, this study is limited to the petrochemical sector. Second, the study is limited to two variables: organizational pride and creativity. Last, this study examined creativity as one variable.Practical implicationsAttitudinal organizational pride directly affects employee creativity. Petrochemical managers should consider and enhance attitudinal organizational pride.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature investigating the attitudinal and emotional aspects as facets of organizational pride in relation to employee creativity, and it is the first to do so in the context of the Sultanate of Oman.
