ABSTRACT

This article investigates the impact of self-efficacy and locus of control on workplace creativity. Self-efficacy refers to an individual’s belief in their ability to perform specific tasks, while locus of control refers to an individual’s belief in their control over the events in their life. The study utilized a survey questionnaire to collect data from employees working in various organizations in different industries. The results showed that both self-efficacy and locus of control have a significant positive impact on creativity at the workplace. Employees who have higher levels of self-efficacy and an internal locus of control tend to be more creative and innovative in their work. The study also found that employees who have a strong sense of self-efficacy are more likely to take risks and explore new ideas, which can lead to more creative outcomes. Furthermore, individuals who have an internal locus of control tend to take more initiative and feel more empowered to make changes in their work environment, which can also promote creativity. The findings of this study suggest that organizations can enhance creativity in the workplace by promoting self-efficacy and fostering an internal locus of control among their employees. This can be achieved through various interventions, such as providing training and development opportunities, recognizing, and rewarding innovative ideas, and promoting a culture of empowerment and autonomy.
