“…Emotional intelligence also refers to a set of emotional abilities to understand, manage and use emotional information (Salovey and Mayer, 1990). Previous research has examined the moderating role of emotional intelligence on the relationships between different variables such as perceived stress and suicidal ideation (Abdollahi et al , 2016), personality and creativity (Jafri, 2020) and perceived threat of terrorism and workplace deviance (Shah et al , 2020). Results of previous studies suggest that emotional intelligence may also serve as a moderator on the relationship between interpersonal conflict and CWB.…”

Purpose This paper aims to examine how interpersonal conflict at work might enhance employees’ propensity to engage in counterproductive work behavior (CWB), as well as how this relationship might be attenuated by emotional intelligence. It also considers how the attenuating role of emotional intelligence might depend on employees’ gender. Design/methodology/approach Survey data were collected from 193 employees working in different organizations in Pakistan. Findings Interpersonal conflict relates positively to CWB, but this relationship is weaker at higher levels of emotional intelligence. The negative buffering role of emotional intelligence is particularly strong among women as compared to men. Practical implications Given that individuals high in emotional intelligence are better at regulating their negative emotions, emotional intelligence training may be a powerful tool for reducing the hostility elicited among organizational members in response to interpersonal conflict and, consequently, their engagement in CWB. Originality/value This study uncovered the emotional mechanism that underlies the interpersonal conflict–CWB relationship by gender and makes suggestions to managers on minimizing the harmful effects of interpersonal conflict.

“…Several research studies examining the relationship between emotional intelligence and creativity have found significant relationships. Jafri (2020), in his study examining The Five-Factor Model (FFM) of personality and creativity by proposing emotional intelligence as a moderator, found that creativity was considerably and favorably influenced by extraversion, conscientiousness, and openness to experience, and that the correlations between the three aspects of the FFM and creativity were considerably increased by EI. Similarly, a meta-analysis with a total sample size of 18,130 conducted by Xu et al (2019) revealed that the relationship between emotional intelligence and creativity is moderately significant.…”

Creativity has long been consistently assessed as a fundamental aspect of educational psychology and has been treated with much devotion by scholars. In this study, intricate relationship patterns between creativity, emotional intelligence, and personality traits were examined. The Marmara Creative Thinking Dispositions Scale, Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire‐Short Form (TEIQue‐SF), and The Ten‐Item Personality Inventory (TIPI) were administered to a cohort of 297 university students attending a university in İstanbul. The findings unveiled important insights into how these components interact. Employing correlational analysis to examine the relationships among the variables, it was found that while agreeableness did not exhibit a significant correlation with creativity, the remaining traits within the Big Five personality dimensions—openness to experience (r = .63), emotional stability (r = .29), conscientiousness (r = .38), and extraversion (r = .49)—displayed positively significant associations with creativity (p < .01), suggesting that individuals characterized by greater openness to experience, emotional stability, conscientiousness, and extraversion tend to exhibit higher levels of creativity in academic settings. That the link between emotional intelligence and creativity highlights a noteworthy association implies that individuals possessing higher levels of emotional intelligence are more likely to excel in creative endeavors. Regression analysis was employed to determine the specific contributions of each personality characteristic to creativity. Interestingly, when examining the predictive value of these factors, conscientiousness did not emerge as a statistically significant predictor of creativity. In contrast, both openness to experiences and extraversion exhibited strong predictive power, significantly influencing creativity. Similarly, emotional intelligence continued to be a significant predictor of creativity, reinforcing its role as a catalyst for innovative thinking. The results imply that individuals with higher levels of openness to experience, emotional stability, conscientiousness, and extraversion tend to be more creative in academic settings, highlighting the significance of emotional intelligence in promoting creative thinking and points out its potential to support creative endeavors.
