Impact of Privatization on Creativity:A Study in Pre and Post Privatization Period of a Public Sector Organization

The present study is designed to examine the impact of privatization on creativity in pre and post privatization period of a public sector. For this purpose, one public sector organization was selected which has been privatized few years ago. Creativity was measured by using a 4-point rating scale ranging from quite false to quite true. Data were analyzed employing Z test for measuring difference in means. Result indicated that organization has shown significant difference in the degree of creativity in pre and post privatization period (Mean in pre privatization period=13.6833 and Mean in post privatization period=16.0083).Liner impact of designation, qualification and age on creativity is also examined and found to be insignificant. Findings can be explained in light of setting super ordinate goal by the organization, little strain effect and exhibition of creativity by the employees.
