Abstract

To inspire and motivate followers, charismatic leaders use their charm, persuasiveness, and emotional appeal. The term "employee creative climate" describes the work environment that either encourages or inhibits employees' ability to be creative, innovative, and generate ideas.  This study aims to evaluate how charismatic leadership affects the creative climate of Luxor and Aswan hotels and travel firms.  A questionnaire was employed in conjunction with a quantitative technique to accomplish the goals of this study.  A random sample of 321 workers from Luxor and Aswan hotels and travel firms is the subject of the study. The findings show that charismatic leadership has a significant beneficial effect on the creative work of employees in hotels and tourism firms.  The study suggested that: Employee motivation should be individualized through recognition that is tailored to individual preferences and creative goals that are aligned with organizational objectives in one-on-one meetings; failures should be treated as learning opportunities; and a culture of psychological safety should be fostered by encouraging risk-taking without fear of punishment.
