Abstract
Employee creativity is considered a critical success factor for every
organization to get a competitive edge in the market. But some factors
stand as barriers to employee creative thoughts that restrict them from
sharing innovative work-related ideas and ultimately influencing
organizational performance. The study investigated the relationship
between barriers to creative thoughts and organizational performance
through employee creativity. Based on the interactionist perspective
theory, it was hypothesized that employee work situations impact their
creativity and organizational performance. Data were collected from 529
employees of the manufacturing firms through a questionnaire survey. The
results revealed that barriers to creative thoughts affect organizational
performance through employees' creativity. The study suggested that
organizations should deal with the factors restraining employees' creative
thoughts to improve their creativity.
