Perceived Economic Wellness and Work Autonomy for Workplace Creativity of Civil Servants in India: Mediating Role of Vigilant Decision-Making Style
摘要
In the present study, the authors have attempted to examine the impact of perceived economic wellness and work autonomy on workplace creativity of the civil servants. The mediating role of vigilant decision-making style in the relation of these variables with workplace creativity has also been verified. Data were collected, through field study approach, from 201 gazetted civil servants across the union territory of Puducherry. Confirmatory factor analyses were run to check the validity of the tools, and structural equation modeling was used to verify the hypotheses. Findings suggest that both perceived economic wellness and work schedule autonomy have direct impact on workplace creativity. Moreover, vigilant decision-making mediated between the relation of economic wellness and work schedule autonomy with workplace creativity. The findings have been discussed through relevant related literature. The study has significant inputs for the national scheme launched by the government for enhancing the creativity of the civil servants.
