Author(s) Samreen Anwar

Abstract The study was conducted to compare universities with reference to Creative climate. The prime objectives of study were:1) to compare the public and private sector universities with reference to creative climate,2) to compare the creative climate dimensions (idea time, risk taking, challenges, freedom, idea support, conflict, debates, playfulness/humors, trust/openness and dynamism/liveliness) in public and private sector universities, 3)to compare different universities with reference to creative climate and 4) to compare different universities with reference to creative climate dimensions(idea time, risk taking, challenges, freedom, idea support, conflict, debates, playfulness/humors, trust/openness and dynamism/liveliness). Quantitative survey research approach was applied on study. The population of study consisted of all the faculty members of Social Sciences and Management Sciences from public and private sector universities located in Islamabad. Proportionate stratified sampling technique was used to select the sample of 299. 243 faculty members from public sector universities and 56 faculty members from private sector universities were taken as a sample of study. Public and private sectors were considered as the two strata of the population. The researcher developed Creative Climate of Universities Questionnaire (CCUQ) in the light of Ekvall’s Creative Climate model which was validated by the experts from the field of Education. The questionnaire’s reliability was analyzed by Cronbach’s Alfha Reliability method (.918). Data was analyzed by mean, Standard Deviation, Mann Whitney U test, ANOVA Post Hoc(Bonferroni) test using Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS). It was concluded that there was no difference between public and private sector universities with reference to creative climate. The findings of the study also revealed that there was no difference between public and private sector universities with reference to different dimensions of Creative Climate. A significant difference was found among different universities with reference to creative climate. Universities varied significantly in terms of different dimensions of creative climate including; Idea time, challenge, idea support, conflict, debate, playfulness/ humor, trust/openness and dynamism/ liveliness. It has been found that the climate of different universities is moderately creative and hence those universities with comparatively lower level of creative climate may have consultation with those universities which have higher level of creative climate for improvement of their climate.
