relationship between empowering leadership and employee creativity.
Furthermore, it aims to reveal if  there
is a mediating role of trust in leader on this relationship. The theoretical
background of the research extends over the social exchange theory, behavioral
self-management theory, social cognitive theory and job demands-resources
model. Based upon the relevant literature, it has been intended to explain the
interactions between the structures of empowering leadership, trust in leader
and employee creativity. In order to accomplish this, a quantitative research
was conducted among 172 engineers working in manufacturing companies located in
Ankara and Istanbul. According to the results obtained from the research, it
was figured out that empowering leadership has a significant and positive
relationship with both employee creativity and trust in leader. It was also
noted that trust in leader played a partial mediation role on the relationship
between empowering leadership and employee creativity. As a result, with this
research, it has been intended to provide valuable contributions to the related
literature. </span> </i> </p> <p> <i> </i> </p> <i> </i>}, number={15}, publisher={İdeal Kent Yayınları}
