Many 21st century businesses around the world have been raising concerns regarding styles of leadership suitable to sustain their competitiveness. Some of these organisations are involved in delivering infrastructure projects and still continuously face project performance challenges requiring improvement in efficiencies, increased creativity and innovation. The need for leadership is more urgent in the construction sector than other sectors, particularly in developing countries due to evidence of poor project performance. This study focused on how entrepreneurial leadership influences worker creativity for project performance in delivering infrastructure projects in South Africa. A survey method of data collection was undertaken using questionnaires targeting individuals working in construction and engineering sector involved in delivering infrastructure projects. Data from 108 respondents was analysed using a statistical package for social sciences (SPSSv20). Data was tested for its reliability using Cronbach’s alpha prior to analysis, which included correlation and regression analysis. Research findings support previous studies that found a significantly positive relationship between EL and worker creativity. Other findings are that work environment is also significantly positive to worker creativity. However, the study did not support claims of positive relationship between work environment and project performance. Research limitation, and implications are also presented. Conclusion and recommendation for future studies are in chapter 7.
