Purpose- It is
assumed that transformational leadership as an organizational context might
have a significant effect on the development of individual creativity
capabilities within followers. Further, it is argued that intrinsic motivation
mediates the transformational leadership behavior - individual creativity link,
which we empirically know little about so far.
Methodology- Given
hypothesis were investigated by using 304 questionnaires from 61 manufacturing
companies operating in Eastern Marmara region. To more vigorously test the
proposed model, partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM)
was employed with SmartPLS 3.0 statistical program.
Findings- The
findings suggest that transformational leadership is an important tool that
enhance individual creativity. The SEM results revealed that transformational
leadership is positively associated with individual creativity and the effect
of transformational leadership on individual creativity is partially mediated
by inspirational motivation, which means both of our hypothesis are supported.
Conclusion- According
to the findings, transformational leaders provide their followers’ with
recognition, provide a vision towards future; they act as role models and
promote followers’ commitment. They encourage the followers to take risks,
increase their energy to generate novel ideas and solutions. As a result,
followers with increased self-confidence become more inspired motivated and
creative. Additionally, these followers,
through the way that their leaders behave them, are inspired and motivated to
be more creative in doing their tasks. Partially through inspirational
motivation transformational leaders can stimulate the creative capabilities of
followers. Finally, this study reveals the fact that the effect of
transformational leadership is partially mediated by inspirational mediation.
