The study investigates the impact of autonomy and role stress on employee creativity and job performance in mature industries. It highlights the significance of autonomy as a key factor that enhances creativity and job performance while concurrently reducing role stress, specifically role ambiguity. Interestingly, the research finds limited empirical support for the relationship between role conflict and creativity/job performance. The findings suggest that organizational structures in mature industries may mitigate the effects of role conflict, underscoring the need for further exploration in diverse contexts and industries.
