Construct Validity and Reliability of Creativity and Innovation in Public Sector: A Rasch Measurement Model Approach for Pilot Study

A pilot study is imperative to test the questionnaire items, confirm and check the research instrument’s reliability to obtain the best items. This pilot research aimed to test the reliability of the developed public sector instrument and identify its weakness. The instrument was purposefully designed to recognise the factors that affect creativity and innovation in the Malaysian public sector and their influence on government agencies’ performance. The instrument included 90 items and was distributed to 120 civil servants from several ministries mostly located in Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The goal of this instrument was to measure five study constructs: individual creativity (IC), team creativity (TC), organisational innovation (OI), innovation processes (IP), and organisational performance (OP). The method employed to analyse the validity and reliability of the items and respondents in this study was derived from the Rasch Measurement Model Approach, which is far more valid and well-grounded than only relying on Cronbach’s Alpha output produced. The Winsteps version 3.73 was used to verify the items’ functionality in aspects such as the item’s reliability and separation of the item-respondent, polarity item, item fit in measuring constructs, item difficulty level, the respondent’s ability, and the standardised residual correlations. It also enabled the removal of items based on polarity items’ statistics and the item’s suitability. At the end of the analysis, it was established that there was a total of 9 items that were discarded because they did not meet the inspection criteria specified per the Rasch Model. A total of 81 items were recorded on the final instrument that could be used to measure the five constructs

A new imperative of relationship between individual creativity and organisational innovation : a systematic review

Innovation is imperative for competitiveness and works as a critical breakthrough determinant for organisations’ sustainable performance, while creativity functions as a catalyst for innovation processes or activities. One of the reasons for inadequate innovation is the lack of attention to creativity. Scholars have recently given a lot of attention to creativity by targeting individuals or employees but minimal systematic reviews were carried out on the correlation between organisational innovation and individual creativity. Hence, this article analysed the existing literature on the relationship between individual creativity and organisational innovation. We employed the PRISMA Statement (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) method of review, a methodical review of the Web of Science and Scopus repository and recognised 29 related studies. A more in-depth reviews of these articles produced five key themes and six sub-themes. We highlighted specific suggestions for attending more studies on qualitative methods and exploring more untapped determinants, moderating and mediating factors of individual creativity towards organisational innovation

The present study examined the influence of religious personality, as the manifestation of one’s religious belief, on the inter-ethnic perceived behaviour among the different ethnic and gender backgrounds. Religious personality comprises of three major factors: pro-social behaviour, ritual behaviour and anti-social behaviour.

The Inter-ethnic Tolerance Questionnaire (IETQ) was used as a self-designed questionnaire to measure the inter-ethnic perceived behaviour and the Universal Religious Personality Inventory (URPI) (Krauss et al., 2006). The findings gathered in the present study indicated that Indian, Malay and Chinese students scored the highest levels of the pro-social behaviour, ritual behaviour and anti-social behaviour, respectively. Comparing the genders among all races, female students were found to score higher than the male students in the pro-social behaviour, but scored lower in the anti-social behaviour. The multiple regression analysis indicated that the pro-social factor was found to be a significant positive predictor of the inter-ethnic perceived behaviour
