Particularly, the objective of the study was to classify whether the&nbsp;self-efficacy would be able to become a mediator in the connection between principal’s transformational&nbsp;leadership and teacher’s creativity. A total of 349 secondary schools teachers from Penang were randomly selected&nbsp;to participatein this study. Data was collected using a set of survey which was adapted from Leithwood and Jantzi&nbsp;(1999), Goddard, Hoy, and Woolfolk-Hoy (2000), George and Zhou (2001). The results of hierarchical regression&nbsp;analysis showed there was a relationship between principal’s transformational leadership, teacher’s self-efficacy&nbsp;and teacher’s creativity. In addition, teacher’s self-efficacy had a mediator impact on the relationship between&nbsp;principal’s transformational leadership and teacher’s creativity. In term of the implication, this study showed the&nbsp;role of transformational leaders in developing and increasing the creativity level and self-efficacy among the&nbsp;teachers.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p> ER -
