Kepemimpinan Otentik, Kreativitas Karyawan, Leader Member Exchange.Abstract
Kreativitas karyawan menjadi salah satu faktor penting dalam menunjang keberhasilan operasional perusahaan. Kreativitas karyawan ini membutuhkan kepemimpinan otentik dan hubungan leader-member exchange yang baik antara pemimpin dan karyawan. Hal ini dibutuhkan oleh pemimpin-pemimpin hotel berbintang empat di Bandar Lampung. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh kepemimpinan otentik terhadap kreativitas karyawan dengan leader-member exchange sebagai mediator pada karyawan hotel di Bandar Lampung. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan teknik purposive sampling terhadap 110 karyawan internal. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner dan dianalisis menggunakan Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) dengan SmartPLS 4. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tidak semua hipotesis didukung oleh penelitian ini, yakni kepemimpinan otentik berpengaruh positif namun tidak signifikan secara langsung terhadap kreativitas karyawan, sedangkan leader-member exchange ditemukan memediasi secara positif dan signifikan pengaruh kepemimpinan otentik terhadap kreativitas karyawan. Saran hasil penelitian adalah pimpinan perlu lebih terbuka dalam menunjukkan refleksi diri dan mengakui keterbatasan di hadapan tim, manajemen hotel harus lebih gencar membangun self-efficacy karyawan melalui program pengembangan kompetensi internal, serta pimpinan dan perusahaan perlu meningkatkan kapasitas profesional dan pengetahuan teknis industri modern melalui fasilitas pelatihan manajerial tingkat lanjut.
