Mediating role of creative self-efficacy

In this study, we examined the relationship between transformational leadership, learning orientation and employee creativity. Furthermore, the mediating effect of creative self efficacy is studied in the relationship of these two variables with creativity. The data obtained from a sample of 176 employees and managers of banking sector indicated the significant relationship between transformational leadership, performance orientation and employee creativity. However, results showed that performance orientation relationship with employee creativity is accepted in mediation while transformational leadership relation with employee creativity in mediation is not supported. Managerial implications and future research are discussed.
