Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of leaders on creating creative climate that supports innovation, change, and creativity in the organization. It will mainly answer how can leaders create a creative climate that stimulates creativity and innovation in the workplace? An organizational model named leadership-creative-climate model has been developed in order to examine this role. Moreover, an assessment survey will be developed and validated. A sample was selected from a local organization in UAE. It was grouped into three categories—highly innovative, moderately innovative, and low innovative—based on an electronic suggestion system results. The selected sample involves more than 350 respondents. Surveys will be distributed electronically to the respondents. Structured Interviews will be conducted with the key seniors and employees. Results of the surveys and structured interviews will be analyzed statistically and discussed critically. Then, conclusions regarding the role of leaders on creating creative climate that stimulates creativity and innovation in the organization will be derived, and the influences of leaders on each of the nine creative climate dimensions will be addressed. Finally, the model will be enhanced and verified based on the empirical data of the conducted case study and combined methodological framework that involves leadership-creative-climate model, and the assessment survey will be developed.
