This study aimed to explore and define the nature of the impact of employee readiness for change—with its dimensions of change suitability, administrative support, change effectiveness, and self-efficacy—on achieving and enhancing job creativity through its two fundamental aspects: idea generation and idea support and implementation. To achieve these objectives and build a solid scientific foundation, the study relied on established literature and the intellectual contributions of several researchers specializing in this field. This enabled the formulation of precise hypotheses that measure the correlation and impact relationships between the variables of the current study and test their validity within the organizational environment.

The study was conducted in the field on a random sample of 110 employees working at Al-Zahraa Teaching Hospital in Wasit Governorate. Primary data were collected using the study instrument and then subjected to advanced statistical analysis using the SPSS version 23 statistical software. The statistical analysis included using Pearson's correlation coefficient to determine the nature and strength of correlations, the t-test to assess the significance of these relationships, multiple regression analysis to measure the overall effect of the independent variables, the F-test to determine the significance and validity of the regression model as a whole, and the coefficient of determination (R²) to interpret the extent of the independent variables' influence on the dependent variable. The statistical results showed a statistically significant positive effect of employee readiness for change dimensions on achieving job creativity. This confirms that preparing employees psychologically and organizationally for administrative changes directly contributes to stimulating their innovative abilities and motivates them to adopt and efficiently implement new ideas within the hospital. Based on these findings, a set of vital recommendations was developed, foremost among them the necessity for hospital management to pay close attention to the variables of this study by continuously focusing on developing and enhancing individual skills and capabilities. This should be coupled with a concerted effort to create and provide a positive and suitable organizational climate that contributes to strengthening employee loyalty and belonging to the healthcare institution, which will positively impact the quality of performance and raise the level of medical services provided.
