Abstract
Research has demonstrated the importance of workplace creativity and innovation. Enough studies have focused on creativity climate at the aggregate levels, while research on perceptions of creativity climate at the individual level is less frequent. Transformational leadership style has been found to impact the climate and creative thinking of employees, but no studies have focused on the direct relationship between creativity climate and transformational leadership style. To address these gaps, the focus of this study was to examine the direct relationship between employee perceptions of transformational leadership style and creativity climate. A sample of 63 Canadian and U.S. participants working in multinational corporations was collected for this study. Results indicated that employees perceived a significant impact of transformational leadership style on creativity climate, supporting the study’s hypothesis. It also showed that employees felt higher organizational motivation and felt their organization produced higher creative and productive outputs. The findings from this study extend the available literature by focusing on the relationship between transformational leadership style and creativity climate that has yet to be examined through employee perception. The results, implications, and limitations of the findings are further discussed.
