Abstract:
The study examines the effect of organisational culture (clan, market, adhocracy, and
hierarchy) on employee creativity. Four specific objectives guided the study. The study
relied on the componential theory of individual creativity to establish the effect of
organisational culture on employee creativity. The study adopted a quantitative
research approach and the explanatory research design, which was justified by the
positivist philosophical paradigm. The study was undertaken in public senior high
schools in the Greater Accra Region. The simple random sampling technique was used
as a sampling procedure to sample the survey’s respondents. Based on the purpose of
the study, 103 non-teaching staff were chosen to include in the study. The finding of
the study proved that clan dimension has a positive and significant effect on employee
creativity. Furthermore, the findings of the study confirmed that the market dimension
has a positive and significant effect on employee creativity. Moreover, the findings of
the study advanced that the hierarchy dimension accounts for a significant negative
effect on employee creativity. Lastly, the findings of the study proved that the
adhocracy dimension has a positive and significant effect on employee creativity. The
study recommends that the management of public senior high schools adopt policies
that foster a culture of collaboration, open communication, and a conducive
environment and encourage innovative ideas and opinions.
