Question: The Effect of a Psychological Climate for Creativity on Job Satisfaction and Work Performance

Answer: The organisational climate for creativity has been widely acknowledged
to influence various work outcomes such as employee innovation
and productivity. Researches carried out on the creative climate in
Malaysia have up till now, confirmed the notion. However, as far
as the Malaysian context is concerned, the effect of a creative work
environment on employee job satisfaction and work performance level
has yet to be explored. As such, this study aims to investigate the effects
of a psychological climate for creativity on job satisfaction and work
performance. Additionally, this study seeks to establish the role of job
satisfaction as a mediator on the relationship between organisational
climate and work performance. The results from a sample of 118
electrical engineers working only within the area of the Klang Valley
suggest that all variable relationships were positively and significantly
correlated: Job satisfaction - Work performance, Psychological climate
for creativity - Job satisfaction and Psychological climate for creativity
- Work performance. Moreover, job satisfaction was found to mediate
between the psychological climate for creativity and work performance
when an analysis was carried out on three separate regressions.
