The evidence of the effect of leadership on creativity of research and development (R&D) employees has been both limited and debated. Some research indicates that leadership is unnecessary in an R&D setting, whereas other studies argue that it remains essential even in such environments. Thus, this study seeks to examine the relationship between transformational leadership and creativity of scientists, as well as the mediating role of psychological empowerment between transformational leadership and scientists’ creativity. The research is based on a sample of 357 scientists employed in various public sector R&D laboratories in India. Structural equation modelling techniques, utilising SmartPLS software, were employed to evaluate the relationships among the different constructs. The results indicate that both transformational leadership and psychological empowerment have a significant positive effect on scientists’ creativity. Scientists’ psychological empowerment has a significant positive impact on their creativity. Furthermore, psychological empowerment was found to mediate the relationship between transformational leadership and scientists’ creativity. This study provides valuable insights for public sector R&D leadership, highlights the role of psychological empowerment, and discusses implications for fostering creativity among R&D scientists.

This paper examines the attitudes of scientists in four research institutes within the UK Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council towards links with industry. Interviews were conducted with scientists who ranged in their level of industrial contact from none at all to a high level of activity. They were classified into five groups by their attitudes and labelled as Enthusiastic, Interested, Prepared to be Supported, Disinterested and Academic High Ground. These attitudes are related to the level of activity. As expected, there was a relationship between attitude and level of activity. The first two groups had a high level of links, and the second two few. Those taking the Academic High Ground often had very good contacts with industry, despite their clear view of their academic and scientific roles.
