Abstract: Creativity, learning and knowledge leverage are crucial for the organization to compete successfully in the current knowledge-based economy. For creativity to occur in organizations, leaders need to support and promote it. Although a number of studies have investigated the impact of leaders on creativity, the investigations have largely focused on issues of leadership support. Noticeably missing from research attention has been process designed that focus greater effort on organizational learning approaches that can address the elemental underpinning of creativity. Therefore, a contribution of this study is to design and connect the theory of transformational leadership and macro-micro level origins that addresses the comprehensive process and employee creativity through important intervening variables.
