摘要：Creative employees are crucial in ensuring project performance. However, scant research has investigated the importance of employee creativity on project performance. Projects need creative employees to initiate project innovation and achieve its goals. Employee creativity is recognized as key for generating a competitive advantage. In order to answer the research questions, a quantitative approach was used. The target population was all the 150 members of the Imbaraga maize Sheller project. Sample size of 90 members of the project who had been in the project for not less than two years, were purposively selected for the study. Primary data was collected using self-administered questionnaire. Data collected was coded edited and analyzed using SPSS to generate results. The findings revealed that the level of creativity among the employees was low. Most of the project members were not educated. Creativity was seen to be helpful in project performance more so in maze processing and marketing. The study concluded that creativity of employees is an important factor to consider in addressing project performance. The study recommended that Project supervisors should keep a supportive behavior with the employees that directly influence employee creative achievements. For the success of the project, Managers should keep supportive supervision for employees that is more likely to enhance creative achievements; in contrast to a controlling supervision that is likely to diminish creative achievements. Imbaraga project should develop a culture of motivating its employees to reap their full potential and productivity
