The Role of Public Administration in Fostering Student Creativity through Supportive Social Environments

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the influence of social factors on student creativity, emphasizing the role of family support, peer support, and the social climate on campus. The method used is a literature review, examining Indonesian journals from the last five years related to social influence, learning motivation, and student creativity. The findings show that: (1) family social support plays a role in boosting students' self-confidence and courage in developing ideas; (2) peer support provides an interactive space that encourages the exchange of ideas and increases learning motivation; (3) a positive campus environment strengthens student involvement in creative activities. Overall, social support is proven to reinforce a sense of security, increase motivation, and encourage students to innovate. Student creativity is also linked to the ability to take initiative, solve problems, and develop entrepreneurial interests. Based on the literature review, it can be concluded that social influence not only functions as a supporting factor, but also as the primary catalyst for the development of student creativity. The novelty of this article lies in combining the roles of three social sources  family, peers, and campus within a single analytical framework that emphasizes the indirect relationship through intrinsic motivation.
