Keywords:
innovative leadership, productivity leadership, solid waste treatment projects, JordanAbstract
Most countries tend to develop solid waste treatment projects in order to reduce the waste problem and increase their interest in environmental issues, in order to preserve the rights of its future generations. This prompted them to enhance the presence of green jobs in the projects and to find a job description and job specification consistent with environmental quality. The study aimed to identify the impact of the innovative leadership represented by its dimensions (adopting new ideas, reinforcement and motivation, innovative planning, building an innovative vision, developing the work environment, developing innovative behavior, developing innovative skills and capabilities) on the productive entrepreneurship represented by its dimensions (productive initiative, productive creativity, productive innovation, risk tolerance, proactive productivity, production flexibility) in the solid waste treatment projects in the Jordan Valley. I adopted the descriptive approach and analytical approach, depending on the interview and a questionnaire that was distributed to (9) projects. A sample of (97) individuals was selected, and the response rate was (89.3%). The sample consisted of (project manager or assistant manager, production manager, supervisor or production engineer, production employee) in the waste treatment projects in Jordan.
