Abstract:
The study examined transformational leadership, resilience and employee creativity at the Weija-Gbawe Municipal Assembly. Specifically, four research objectives were investigated; to examine the influence of transformational leadership on employee creativity; to analyze the influence of transformational leadership on resilience; examine the influence of resilience on the employee creativity of employees; to and analyze the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between transformational leadership and employee creativity. The study relied on the quantitative approach and explanatory-correlational design. A structured questionnaire was used to gather data from a sample response of 245 respondents in the company. The data was then processed using the IBM SPSS Statistics (version 25) and analyzed using partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The study found that transformational leadership has significant positive influence on employee creativity and resilience of the employees in the company. The study also found that employee resilience has a significant positive influence on the employee’s creativity. The findings further showed that resilience mediates the nexus between transformational leadership and employee creativity. The study, therefore, recommended that management of assembly should emphasize nurturing transformational leadership traits of the supervisors or leaders of respective departments and units in organisation. This can be done through seminars, conferences, meetings, and training workshops towards improving transformational leadership traits
