Servant Leadership and Its Relationship with Administrative Creativity: A Field Study of Arsenal and Lifting Gear Corporation (Ain Smara) Constantine

Abstract

This study explores the dynamic relationship between servant leadership and administrative creativity among employees at the Arsenal and Lifting Gear Corporation "Somatel" in Ain Smara, Constantine. In order to establish a solid theoretical foundation, we utilized specially designed questionnaires that measure both servant leadership and administrative creativity, drawing upon previous scholarly works and related scientific references. The servant leadership questionnaire is derived from the research of Mohamed Ahmed Ghali, who developed a scale titled "Servant Leadership and its Relationship with Organizational Commitment" based on the Loub scale from 1985, which comprises 14 items distributed across various dimensions (refer to Appendix 3). Similarly, the administrative creativity scale incorporates three primary dimensions,  attention to subordinates, emphasis on development and success, and conceptual skills, based on Sahnoun’s study "The Role of Administrative Creativity in Developing Human Resource Management", which includes 17 items (see Appendix 3).

Statistical analysis revealed a significant correlational relationship between servant leadership and administrative creativity. The findings validate all proposed hypotheses with varying degrees of significance at the 0.01 level, suggesting a synergistic interaction between servant leadership and its influence on administrative creativity.
