Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the impact of employees’ creative personality, physical work environment and social work environment items on creative performance of employees to find the most influential elements. In addition, the study intends to investigate association between employees’ creative performance and their satisfaction and turnover intention. Based on regression analysis of data from 102 employees in 18 small sized companies, we conclude that the employees’ “creative personality”, among the physical work environment items “providing privacy”, among the social work environment items “produce new idea”, “being effective” and “sufficient resources” independently have a significant influence on employees’ creative performance. It is also found that employees’ creative performance has a positive moderate association with “job satisfaction” and a negative weak association with “turn over intention”.

Keywords: Creative performance, work environment, job satisfaction, turnover intention
