- Description
- The meanings that Filipino social workers attach to creativity have implications on social administration and governance. The personal and work-related meanings that the participants give to creativity, the areas of practice that they view as creative and the conditions in the workplace that favour or hinder creativity also point to areas of “creative leadership.” Using a phenomenological approach, the research focuses on the social workers’ “journeys in creativity.” The research points to how practitioners consider social work as a creative profession and how their work introduce innovation in the organization and in service delivery through formulation of policy, programs and new strategies. The study suggests that creative leadership apply governance approaches that harness creativity in individuals and as an organization. The study also suggests a typology of meanings of creativity that may be the basis for further studies in this area.
