Abstract

In today’s fast changing and extremely competitive business environment, organisations can only survive by realising their employees’ creative and innovative potential. Existing research has demonstrated that there is a positive relationship between emotional intelligence and creativity. To extend our knowledge of this link, this paper investigates whether leaders’ emotional intelligence competencies may enhance and nurture employees’ creative performance and innovative behaviour. The sample comprised 1102 leaders working in different industries throughout Australia, Iran and Malaysia. Findings indicated that leaders’ emotional intelligence competencies positively and significantly affect employees’ creative performance and innovative behaviour in all three nations. The results are discussed and suggestions are made based upon the data analysis and conclusion. Also, the implications of the results are highlighted. Eventually, limitations of the study and possible directions for future research are discussed.
