AN INVESTIGATION ON EMPLOYEE CREATIVITY ABILITIES AND LEADERSHIP THEORIES EXAMINING THE IMPACT OF EMPOWERING LEADERSHIP ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE.

Abstract

This study investigate how does empowered leadership impact employee performance in Chinese administrative settings by examining the relationship between innovative capacities and empowered leadership. Leadership styles that encourage critical thinking and assertive management have the potential to increase innovation and output in the workplace, and this research aims to shed light on how this is achieved. With the use of standardised questions, 857 participants were surveyed quantitatively. Researchers used SPSS and factor evaluation to look at the data. A positive and statistically significant relationship between empowered leadership and employee performance is adjudicated by workers’ inventive skills, according to the data. Specifically, leadership that stimulates sovereignty and individual accountability promotes an environment that is conducive to creativity, which ultimately boosts employee productivity. The outcomes illustrate that techniques of empowerment are applicable within the collectivist and hierarchical social norms of China, suggesting that aesthetically customised leadership programmes may be an essential part of organisational success. This study contributes to researcher’s understanding of the relationship between management and accomplishment by highlighting the mediating function of innovation talents; it also provides Chinese managers with practical advice for fostering an innovative work environment. The results provide credence to leadership development programmes that prioritise encouraging staff autonomy, creative thinking, and communication as means to sustain advantages over competitors in dynamic consumer marketplaces. In light of China’s current dynamic economic situation, the study highlights the need to empower leadership to promote innovation and increase staff productivity.
