Impact of the Asta Brata Leadership on the employee creativity
23
this present study, there are four cognitions which reflect the psychological empowerment; they are meaning, competence, self-determination, and impact. Among the four aspects,
the aspect of meaning turns out to be the strongest indicator which shows such an empowerment, meaning that there is an opinion that the jobs done by the employees are
important and highly meaningful to themselves. This is completed with competence, that is, being confident about the ability and skill which someone has to be able to do hisher
job perfectly. Such a condition of empowerment positively contributes to the employee creativity.
In this case, creativity mainly refers to the good motivation which someone has as the company for which heshe works highly appreciates the creative concepts heshe
proposes. In addition, the company also appreciates the concepts given by its employees which can make the achievement of the company’s objective more valuable. Creativity is
also related to the personal human resources who creatively make new combinations in their jobs, making the products produced more valuable to the company. Apart from that
creativity is also related to the improved ways of doing someone’s job as hisher
responsibility, making the products produced more valuable to the company. In this case, the result of the present study does not support the result of the study
conducted by Sun et al. 2012 as far as the contribution of the psychological empowerment to creativity is concerned. In this present study, it turns out that the
psychological empowerment significantly contributes to the creativity of subordinators. It is affirmed that one employee who feels that hisher job is meaningful and valuable to the
objective of hisher life, strengthened by the competence heshe has, will become more creative in hisher job.
