Abstract:
The development and flourishment of companies depend on their possession of human
resources endowed with intellectual abilities and creative aptitudes on one hand, and distinguished
administrative leaders capable of exploiting and adequately assisting these abilities on the other
hand.
creativity, from an interactive perspective, is influenced by many factors and variables
notably administrative leadership. many different studies have been undertaken to show the effect
of this organizational factor on creativity and its development. earlier research was mainly
interested in investigating leader's personal characteristics. as the determination of features that
might reveal creativity in companies proved difficult, researchers turned their attention to study
the leader's behavior and its effect on creativity, which is the main concern of this research. in
other words, how can the modes of administrative leadership affect the development of
creativity in human resources in the private industrial companies of the province of
Constantine?
the practical side, however, was limited to show the effect of both the autocratic leadership
mode and the democratic one on the development of creativity. from a methodological point of
view, this relation was investigated on the basis of the sampling survey method using, thus, (40)
private industrial companies and two questionnaires to collect data (the first questionnaire was
addressed to leaders and the second one to the ones under their leadership). the data obtained were
treated and analyzed using statistical package for social sciences (spss) through which frequencies,
medians, percentages, correlation coefficients were calculated.
the results obtained revealed the following:
- the administrative leaders in the private industrial companies have the characteristics of
leadership
- there are no significant differences in the leadership modes according to personal variables
(sex, level of education, field of specialty)
-there is a relation between the leadership modes and the development of creativity in the
private industrial companies of the province of Constantine.
- there are significant differences between the autocratic mode and the democratic one in
their effect on the development of creativity in the private industrial companies of the province of
Constantine.
-the most prevailing leadership mode in the private industrial companies in Constantine is
the democratic one.
-the most appropriate leadership mode for the development and flourishment of creativity in
human resources in the private industrial companies of the province of Constantine is the
democratic mode.
