Radio stations also lacked management expertise, particularly in sales and advertising. Most stations did not have modern recording and editing equipment. Local radio stations also did not have access to domestic and inter-national news sources, nor could they communicate with other stations and media outlets. Like television and print media organizations, radio stations did not have access to media law experts to guide them in interpreting legislation and helping protect them from vested interests. Consequently, the study is needed to be conducted. The study was conducted to increase understanding in empirical evidence that some personal characteristics affecting creative behavior among Indonesian radio station broadcasters.
