Abstract

Based on organismic integration theory, this research makes the proposition that transformational leadership and participative leadership have a higher chance social structures that are supported by economic and non-economic rewards make it possible to assign probabilities. This research has used collected data from 260 Emirati enterprises including their professional employees and their supervisors. The result of this study suggests that (1). Although democratic management has a positive impact on the creativity of its followers, transformational leaders have little effect on the creativity of their employees. (2) There are combinations between transformative leaders and economic gains and between participative leadership and non-economic rewards that have a positive effect on employee creative expression, (3) The above said relationship can be facilitated through organizational support. Using these findings as a springboard, researchers can explore new directions in leadership theory.
