Summary:Human resource management practices are considered to be an essential component in achieving positive work outcomes and individual effectiveness. Many of the previous studies have explored the role of psycho-social factors in explaining employee creativity. However, the role of individual factors in enhancing employee creativity has gained little attention in this research area. The main objective of this study is to investigate the impacts of human resource management practices in improving employee creativity in the Sharjah Police, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

This quantitative research study benefited from a statistical evaluation that is based on detailed solutions and techniques of variance and covariance, correlation and regression. This study focuses on the Sharjah Police in the United Arab Emirates, albeit there are previous studies on a similar subject but are departing from the scope of this study. To assess the role of HRM practices in improving employee creativity, a set of questionnaires were created and modified from various literary works to suit the needs of this study.
