Decision making, motivation and creativity amongst employees in pharmaceutical companies
Abstract
The study sought to investigate the relationship between decision making, motivation and creativity
amongst employees. The study adopted a correlation research design. 70 respondents, 40 females and 30
males were sampled and data analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) from where
descriptive statistics, Pearson product moment and correlation coefficients were derived. Findings showed
that there is a significant relationship between decision making and motivation at r= .421**< 0.01. This
implies that decision making and motivation are significantly related therefore the hypothesis is retained.
Findings also showed that there is a significant relationship between motivation and creativity at r=
.383**< 0.01 which implies that increase in motivation increases creativity. Therefore the hypothesis is
retained. Findings showed that there is a significant relationship between decision making and creativity
at r= .927**< 0.01. This implies that decision making and creativity are significantly related. Therefore
the hypothesis is retained. This means that it is of great importance for management to involve their
employees in decision making, be it at a lower or higher level and also find ways to motivate their
employees since this leads to creativity which can increase the company’s productivity
