| description | Creativity is an important element in the development of educational organizations. Although many
variables influence students’ creativity in universities, there is reason to suspect that leadership
behaviours’ of lecturers represent a particularly powerful influence. In this study, we examined
leadership behaviours contributing to enhancing students’ creativity. Findings of this study indicated that
leadership behaviours of lectures such as idealized influence, intellectual stimulation, inspirational
motivation, technical skills, and involvement may influence students’ creativity both directly and
indirectly. Their leadership behaviours may nurture or stifle students’ creative potential. The implications
of these findings for theory and practice are discussed. |
