The Influence of Employee Involvement in Analytical Decision Making on Employee Creativity: A Case Study of Higher Education in Oman

Abstract

To better prepare students for the workforce, Oman's private higher education sector is experiencing a transition to keep up with global trends and industry collaborations. This is with the goal of better-preparing students for the workforce. In a landscape currently defined by fierce competition, this underscores the importance of differentiating oneself from the competition. In the private higher education sector in Oman, this study aims to investigate the relationship between employee engagement, analytical decision-making, and employee innovation. Specifically, the study will focus on the private sector. The total number of questionnaire responses is 308, which is the final analysis. We can conclude that analytical decision-making acts as a mediator between employee involvement and creativity based on the facts that we have uncovered. To add insult to injury, each and every one of the ideas that were put out was discovered to be supported. The findings of this study contribute to a better knowledge of the creative potential of personnel working in the private higher education industry. Additionally, the findings provide suggestions for improvements to regulations that are currently in place.
