PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENT

Co-operatives are the economic drivers in Timor Leste, but their existence is very alarming. Several cooperative members dropped out because they found it difficult to get a loan. In addition to this, several cooperative employees also resigned. This is due to the fact that cooperatives offer less hope for a better future. Work systems and leadership styles do not provide opportunities for employees to be creative, so employee performance is not optimal. This study aims to investigate the role of entrepreneurial leadership as a moderating effect of high-performance work systems and employee creativity on employee performance in cooperatives in Timor Leste.
