Abstract:

In spite of the fact that recent research has shown that emotional intelligence plays a significant role in the creative process, not much work has been done so far to verify this theory. As a result, the purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of emotional intelligence on the creation of and the mediating role of employee attitudes at selected private enterprises in the Kurdistan area of Iraq. For the purpose of evaluating this study, a quantitative research methodology was utilized. There was a random sample procedure used, and there were a total of 100 questionnaires sent; however, only 87 questionnaires were returned. In this study, employee attitude served as both a mediator and a dependent variable, while social awareness, self-management, relationship management, and self-awareness were employed as independent variables to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence and creative output. According to the findings, emotional intelligence has a direct and indirect influence, both of which are considerable and favorable for creative output in private companies. Also, the study's results suggested that future research should look into staff commitment and how engaged employees are.
