FACTORS AFFECTING INDIVIDUALS' CREATIVITY PERFORMANCE: PATERNALIST LEADERSHIP, MANAGEMENT INNOVATION AND PSYCHOLOGICAL OWNERSHIP

Abstract

Paternalistic leadership, management innovation, psychological ownership and creativity performance are the most important approaches for organisations to gain a competitive advantage. This study aims to examine the impact of paternalistic leadership, management innovation, and psychological ownership on creativity performance. Besides, it aimed to provide recommendations based on results regarding the impact of paternalistic leadership and management innovation on psychological ownership and creativity performance. In this empirical study, the data on perceptions concerning paternalistic leadership, management innovation, psychological ownership, and creativity performance were gathered using a questionnaire completed by 119 school vice-principals and 94 school principals, all employed in schools in Artvin, Turkey. The data were analysed with the SmartPLS software and presented in seven tables. The findings showed that management innovation and psychological ownership have a positive impact on creativity performance. The results also revealed that paternalistic leadership has a significant impact on management innovation and psychological ownership. However, it is determined that paternalistic leadership does not have a significant impact on creativity performance.
