THE IMPACT OF LEADERSHIP ON ORGANIZATIONAL CREATIVITY
THE IMPACT OF LEADERSHIP ON ORGANIZATIONAL CREATIVITY

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of leadership, especially transformational leadership, on the development of organizational creativity in contemporary organizations. The starting point is that leadership, through the creation of an inspiring vision, employee motivation and shaping organizational culture, is a key driver of creative behavior and innovation. The paper analytically discusses theoretical models that explain the mechanisms through which transformational leaders influence individual and collective creativity, with a special emphasis on the role of psychological safety, support for innovation and a climate of trust. The methodological approach includes a review of relevant literature and a comparative analysis of previous empirical research. The results indicate that transformational leadership positively influences organizational creativity, directly through intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration, and indirectly through the development of a culture of open communication and shared values. It is concluded that leaders who actively cultivate a creative organizational culture contribute to greater innovation and competitiveness of organizations.
