            Abstract
            While research exploring the relationship
between leadership and
creativity is scant, there exists even
smaller research analyzing the impact
of specific supervisory behaviors
on creativity. The first part of
the study identifies a set of supervisory
behaviors that has the potential
to impact Employee Creativity.
The second part of the study addresses
the mechanisms through
which leaders influence Employee
Creativity and presents organizational
justice perceptions, positive
psychological capital and work
motivation as important mediating
variables. The study uses a combination
of in-depth interviews and
literature review to develop a causal
framework linking leadership to
Employee Creativity.
