Abstract

This study looks into the consequences of four different types of psychological capital (i.e., self-efficacy, hope, resilience, and optimism) and leadership support toward employee creativity. Data were collected from 102 respondents among employees of a logistic company in Klang Valley, Malaysia. This study used purposive sampling, and the results were analysed using SPSS to find any significance between all independent and dependent variables. For findings, only leadership support was significant in predicting employee creativity while all dimensions of psychological capital were not. Therefore, this study provides empirical evidence supporting the importance of leadership support in enabling employee creativity.
