Abstract

This study aimed to scrutinize the role of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II in motivating Jordanian youth for creativity and innovation through four initiatives: (The Haqiq Initiative, the Youth Excellence Fund (YEF), TechWorks, and The Hussain Fellowship Program (HFP)). The study followed a mixed approach (quantitative and qualitative) to collect the research data, which were survey questionnaires and focus group interviews. The participants were 610 participants in initiatives of the Crown Prince Foundation (CPF) during the period from 2018 to 2022. Also, twenty employees were randomly selected from those in charge of the initiatives through the CPF to answer five questions about the role of the Crown Prince in motivating youth for creativity and innovation. The result of the study indicated that the level of His Royal Highness's (HRH) role in motivating Jordanian youth for creativity and innovation was high. Also, the findings showed that there are no statistically significant differences among the study sample's responses to HRH's role in motivating Jordanian youth for creativity and innovation due to the gender and age variables. Moreover, the findings of the interview revealed that HRH is the most supportive person in Jordan, who encourages youth in both moral and material fields through the initiatives that he launches at the CPF.
