Abstract
The concept of individual task conflict has been a buzzing topic in the field of management sciences and has been considered an integral part of the organization; recent studies have shown that it is crucial for the creativity of employees. Therefore, this research study aims to determine the effect of individual task conflict on employees' creativity in private medical hospitals in Nangarhar, Afghanistan. The data was collected from a sample selected from the population using a stratified random sampling technique, and adopted questionnaires were used to collect the data. Statistical analysis, including descriptive statistics, correlation matrix, and regression analysis, was used to determine the effect of individuals' task conflict on employees' creativity. The results showed a strong and positive association between individual task conflict and employees' creativity. Besides, regression analysis showed that employees' creativity depends on a task-relevant conflict.
On the other hand, individual task conflict affects employees' creativity. This study's findings suggest that task conflict is a key factor in promoting employee creativity, consistent with previous research in this area. The results have implications for organizations seeking to promote employee creativity and innovation, highlighting the importance of task conflict in fostering creative thinking and problem-solving.
