Creativity is one such component that can increase the probability of the organisation in staying ahead. The importance of creativity is significantly evident by the available literature on creativity. This paper aims to explore the relationship between employees’ trust in the leader and employee creativity, and the influence of organisational culture on this relationship, based on the review of the literature. This study explores the moderating effect of different dimensions of organisational culture on the relationship between trust in the leader and employee creativity. By integrating literature on trust, organisational culture, and creativity, this paper aims at advancing our understanding of creativity, considering the employees’ trust in the leader and culture within the organisation. Based on the review of literature, propositions have been stated in this study, which can be empirically tested in further studies.
