Abstract:

In this qualitative research, we investigated the intricate relationship between creativity and job satisfaction within organizations. Our objective was to gain genuine insights into employees' subjective experiences and emotions concerning creativity and its connection with job satisfaction in the modern workplace. The literature review revealed that fostering a nurturing organizational culture, employing transformational and authentic leadership styles, promoting effective communication, offering autonomy and creative freedom, and recognizing creative efforts were key factors positively influencing employee creativity. However, challenges such as fear of judgment, time constraints, and rigid organizational structures could hinder creative expression. The findings from the interviews underscored the significance of a supportive culture, transformational leadership, open communication, autonomy, and creative recognition in fostering creativity and enhancing job satisfaction. Participants recommended strategies such as establishing a creative culture, encouraging autonomy, and addressing barriers to creativity. The study contributes meaningful insights into creativity and job satisfaction, providing practical strategies for organizations to nurture creativity and improve overall employee satisfaction. By adopting these recommendations, organizations can create a dynamic work environment that stimulates creative thinking and enhances employee wellbeing.
