Building employee creative performance: Through person-job fit, empowering leadership, and creative self efficacy

Creativity is a positive ability to organisations as a support for innovation and organisational success in competitive environments. This study is to examine employee creative performance, which is influenced by Person-job fit from DA-fit and SV-fit perspectives, empowering leadership and creative self-efficacy. This study sample consists of 154 employees who work in television media, and the data were collected by delivering questionnaires directly or online. This study examines four hypotheses using smart PLS. The result of this study states that all hypotheses are proven significant. Empowering leadership provides more contribution in influencing creative self-efficacy compared with Person-job fit from DA-fit and SV-fit perspectives. Thus, creative self-efficacy also significantly influences employee creative performance. Creativity can develop better in organisations, depending on the leader role. Empowering leadership can support employee self-efficacy to be creative and ultimately will improve employee creative performance.
