Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of telework on employee creativity in the context of humanitarian organizations in Afghanistan and examine the moderating role of role clarity. It attempted to fill this gap by examining how telework affects employee creativity. An empirical study was carried out using data from professional employees of international humanitarian organizations in Afghanistan collected through a web-based survey (N=368). The role clarity is moderating the effects of telework on employee creativity. The empirical findings indicate that telework has no direct beneficial influence on the employee creativity of professional employees in the aforementioned organizations. It discovered, specifically, that role clarity moderated the impact of telework on employee creativity. The findings advise practitioners about the suitability of telework for enhancing professional employees' creativity. This study adds to the literature on creativity by identifying how telework affects employee creativity.
