Remodelling progress in tourism and hospitality students' creativity through social capital and transformational leadership

This study used statistical analyses such as structural equation modelling (SEM) and regression analysis to demonstrate how both transformational leadership and social capital influence creativity. A mediation-moderate model design reveals social capital and knowledge sharing as critical mediation attributes that connect the relationships between transformational leadership and creativity. The three-way interaction results also suggest that interaction frequency is the most important dimension for increasing creativity by creating both knowledge sharing and a co-operative culture in the learning environment. Several alternative models were used to confirm the model fit of this study.
