Abstract

the present study aimed to build a theoretical model for the causal relationship between the variables of the study and verifying the validity of the proposed model by examining the direct and indirect impact of transformational leadership (TLS) on individual creativity and whether, integrating of structural and psychological empowerment acts as a mediating strength this relationship. Consequently, to investigate these relationships, a survey was conducted of 429 faculty members from Higher Institutes of Technology in western Libya. The researcher used four measures to measure the variables of the study: TLS, structural empowerment, psychological empowerment, and individual creativity. Accordingly, the results of mediating and path analysis indicated that both structural empowerment and psychological empowerment separately, each playing a partial mediation role in the relationship between TLS and individual creativity. Moreover, the main hypothesis of the model has been tested, whether the integration of structural and psychological empowerment plays the mediating role and promoting the relationship of TLS to individual creativity. The results proved that TLS was strongly associated with individual creativity. In addition, the results also showed that the integrated approach of empowerment mediated and strengthened this relationship further than in the case of mediation via both of structural empowerment or psychological empowerment. In conclusion, this study represented an attempt to investigate TLS and its impact on individual creativity in the higher education institutions in a non-Western country. Also, this study sought to broaden the general understanding of the TLS concept and how its relevance with many other variables, as the individual's creative performance and integrated approach of empowerment.

变革型领导与个人创造力:授权作为中介的综合方法
本研究旨在构建研究变量间因果关系的理论模型,并通过考察变革型领导(TLS)对个体创造力的直接和间接影响,以及结构授权和心理授权的整合是否在这种关系中起中介作用,来验证所提出模型的有效性。因此,为了调查这些关系,对利比亚西部高等技术学院的429名教员进行了调查。研究人员使用了四种测量方法来测量研究的变量:TLS、结构授权、心理授权和个人创造力。因此,中介分析和通径分析结果表明,结构授权和心理授权分别在TLS与个体创造力的关系中起部分中介作用。此外,我们还检验了模型的主要假设,即结构授权和心理授权的整合是否在TLS对个体创造力的关系中起中介和促进作用。结果证明,TLS与个体创造力密切相关。此外,研究结果还表明,与结构授权和心理授权两种方式相比,授权的综合方式对这一关系的中介和强化作用更大。总之,本研究是对非西方国家高等教育机构中TLS及其对个人创造力影响的一次尝试。此外,本研究试图扩大对TLS概念的一般理解,以及它与许多其他变量的相关性,如个人的创造性表现和授权的综合方法。Keywords-Transformational领导力;赋权方法;结构性权力;个人创造力;高等技术院校;利比亚
