The Moderating Role of Organizational Intelligence in Psychological Empowerment and Creative Thinking

Abstract

The study explored the relationship between psychological empowerment through its dimensions (meaning, competence, sense of influence, choice), and creative thinking with its dimensions (logical thinking, critical thinking, lateral thinking). The moderated role of organizational intelligence with its dimensions (strategic vision, shared fate, appetite of change, alignment and congruence, heart, knowledge deployment, and performance pressure) was tested in the relationship between the two variables. Kufa University was chosen as the community for the study, and the study sample consisted of (264) university professors. The study found a relationship between psychological empowerment and creative thinking, and that the presence of organizational intelligence moderates these two variables by a large percentage.
