A Study of Proactive Personality, LMX Quality and Employee Creativity in Delhi and NCR Organisations

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of LMX quality and proactive personality on employee creativity as assessed by their supervi­sors. On the basis of theoretical linkages among the constructs, a conceptual model and hypotheses were established. The sample was drawn from nine Indian firms in Delhi and NCR. The results suggested that proactive personality and LMX quality contrib­uted to employee creativity. Compared with LMX Quality, however, proactive personality had higher impact on employee creativity. Three of six hypotheses were supported. The relationship between proactive personality, LMX quality and Employee creativity at lower and upper level of management turned out to be non-significant.
