Impact of Cooperative Team Environment and Procedural Justice on Work Environment Creativity: An Empirical Study of Banking Industry

Abstract

According to modern approaches to creativity, any human being can generate creative ideas, and it is not a genetic trait. Social setting, including teamwork, supervision, and surrounding environment, plays a significant role in determining an individual's creativity. This study will examine the role of social exchange factors in bringing work environment creativity empirically. For this reason, a questionnaire was distributed to be filled by a sample of 200 employees from the banking industry of Pakistan. Branches of 10 banks were selected in the vicinity of twin cities, i.e., Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Data collected from these bank branches were analyzed using statistical tests. Social exchange factors including procedural justice, cooperative team environment, and employee participation were studied. The mediating role of expert's knowledge sharing was assessed beside moderating role of adhocracy culture. It was concluded that adhocracy culture moderates the relationship of social exchange factors with work environment creativity. Moreover, expert's knowledge sharing mediates the relation of procedural justice and work environment creativity. This study will fill the gap by examining the factors affecting workplace creativity. This will help practitioners and researchers know the factors that affect workplace creativity, which will ultimately be beneficial for organizations.

The Impact of Organizational Injustice on Work Alienation: Moderating Role of Overqualification

“…The issue of distance in today's society is also considered a reason behind the alienation of workers. The nature of human relations, motorization level of the association, impression of social advantage in regards to the association, level of being occupation arranged and ease level of the employment make the workers get distanced (Cetin, Ozdemirci, & Kartaltepe, 2009;Tahir & Athar, 2018). The bosses in an organization enjoy all the powers; thus, the lack of power with the employees makes them distanced in the hierarchical level of organization, and they might feel less important for the firm.…”
