“…Meanwhile, self-reports with the advantages of cost-efficient and easy administration were commonly employed [ 22 , 23 , 24 ]. Tan et al [ 11 ] developed the short form of the Kaufman Domains of Creativity Scale [ 25 ] with 20 items to help respondents indicate their belief of creativity relative to their peers in five different domains (e.g., scholarly, artistic).…”

The impact of happiness on creativity is well-established. However, little is known about the effect of creativity on well-being. Two studies were thus conducted to examine the impact of creativity on subjective well-being. In the first study, 256 undergraduate students (Study 1a) and 291 working adults (Study 1b) self-reported their creativity, stress, and subjective well-being. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed a positive relationship between creativity and subjective well-being after controlling the effect of self-perceived stress and demographics in both samples. Study 2 then employed an experimental design to examine the causal relationship between creativity and subjective well-being. Half of the 68 undergraduates underwent a creativity priming task followed by a divergent thinking test as well as self-reported stress and subjective well-being. The priming task was found to boost creative performance in the pilot study (Study 2a) and the actual study (Study 2b). Moreover, after controlling the effect of self-perceived stress, ANCOVA analysis showed that participants receiving the priming reported higher subjective well-being scores than their counterparts in the control group. The overall findings not only shed light on the facilitative effect of creativity on subjective well-being but also highlight the necessity of considering the reciprocal relationship of the two constructs in future research.

“…Despite the growing body of research on creativity and innovation, there are several gaps that the literature has not explored sufficiently. Within the framework of innovation, only a few studies have focussed on the creative process (An et al, 2018;Mahmood et al, 2019), hence the need to investigate the role of the creative process to develop a more comprehensive understanding (Ou et al, 2018;Tan et al, 2017a). Studies of creativity and innovation specifically with in SMEs have received little attention (Abdul-Halim et al, 2019).…”

Creativity is an essential source of innovation for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Moreover, one challenge in SMEs is to transform the novel and useful ideas that arise from creativity into innovation, hence the interest of researchers in advancing knowledge in this area. This study analyses: (a) how the creative process influences the results of creativity, (b) the role that risk-taking plays as a mediator in the relationship between creativity and product innovation, and (c) the impact of innovation on the performance of SMEs. The research model is validated with data from 139 Chilean industrial SMEs, using the Partial Least Square (PLS) method. The results show the importance of the creative process is different stages in SMEs. It also shows that risk-taking serves as an enabler in SMEs' ability to turn creativity into product innovation. We conclude our findings by illustrating the positive effect of product innovation on SMEs' performance, a crucial issue in their competitiveness. These findings allow managers to verify that creativity is not a random result but an intentional process.

“…The present study, conducted in Bangladesh, an Asian emerging/developing country, will strengthen previous findings. Lastly, previous studies have been heavily criticised for drawing inferences on their generalisability and for over-inflating their results, either because of self-report surveys [30] or other report surveys [31] or because replies were collected from a single organisation [11]. Thus, in line with suggestions from Podsakoff, et al [32], Gupta, Singh and Bhattacharya [31], and Zhang and Bartol [10], we used both report survey methods to avoid bias from self-response or other responses.…”

Do Transformational Leaders Engage Employees in Sustainable Innovative Work Behaviour? Perspective from a Developing Country

Inadequate and inconclusive studies of the role of transformational leadership (TL) on employee creative process engagement (CPE) and sustainable innovative work behaviour (IWB) have motivated the authors to further advance knowledge in this aspect of the workplace. In doing so, the present study seeks to extend the understanding of innovative work behaviour by the involvement of TL and its subordinates through engaging employees in the creative process. The authors adopted the deductive reasoning approach to measure the observed relationships using structural equation modelling (SEM) through SmartPLS 2, a second-generation integrated regression model for statistical measurement. The results from self-report and others’ reported questionnaires reveal that transformational leaders can engage their subordinates in the creative process and sustainable innovative outcomes by influencing employee intrinsic motivation and proactive behaviour. However, the mediating effect of CPE on TL and IWB is not supported. Lastly, the authors discuss the findings and contributions of these empirical findings in theory and practice. In addition to the potential implications of the examined results, this study also recommends directions for further research in the light of its limitations.
