<p>Individual creativity is considered as an individual phenomenon level that provides the production of new and extremely valuable ideas for organizations. Organizational level studies indicate that there are lots of factors examined in individual and group levels within organizations like innovation climate effecting individual creativity, group communication, leadership style and creativity core competences. This study is based on the employees of a company who are affected by the individual impulsivity behavior, providing positive increase in the performance of the company by the help of creativity features of the employees. Accordingly, individuals’ behaviors leading to impulsivity are examined in a number of dimensions such as premeditation, urgency, sensation seeking and perseverance. These dimensions influence the creativity of employees. Impulsivity is an important psychological situation, studied in many individuals and generally in systematic level. In addition, this study examines the assumption that emotional intelligence, consisting self-emotion appraisal, other-emotion appraisal, use of emotion, regulation of emotion dimensions has an influence on the relation between employee impulsivity behavior and employee creativity. This study also examines whether the relationship among the impulsivity behavior, emotional intelligence and creativity of an employee changes with respect to gender.</p>

Abstract. This study investigated the mediating role of coping humor in the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and job satisfaction. Participants were 398 primary school teachers in China, who completed the Wong Law Emotional Intelligence Scale, Coping Humor Scale, and Overall Job Satisfaction Scale. Results showed that coping humor was a significant mediator between EI and job satisfaction. A further examination revealed, however, that coping humor only mediated two sub-dimensions of EI (use of emotion and regulation of emotion) and job satisfaction. Implications for future research and limitations of the study are discussed.

Previous research has highlighted the connection between emotional intelligence (EI) and work performance. However, the role of job burnout in this context remains relatively unexplored. This study aimed to examine the mediator role of burnout in the relationship between EI and work performance in a multioccupational sample of 1197 Spanish professionals (58.6% women). The participants completed the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, and the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire. As expected, the results demonstrated a positive relationship between EI and performance, and a negative relationship with burnout, which has a mediator effect in the relationship between EI and work performance. Professionals with high levels of IE and low burnout reported the highest performance. Multiple mediation analyses showed that employees’ EI was indirectly connected to work performance via professional efficacy and exhaustion, even when controlling the effects of sociodemographic variables. The same pattern was found when multiple mediations were conducted for each EI dimension. These findings demonstrate the importance of burnout in understanding work performance and emphasize the role of EI as a protective variable which can prevent the development or chronic progression of workers’ burnout.

This article reviews and summarizes two decades of empirical literature concerned with both direct and moderating variable-based analyses of the relationship of organizational stress with job satisfaction and job performance. Moderating influences of various constructs operationalized at the individual, group and organizational level of analysis are classified and then reviewed systematically. An evaluative summary of this research suggests that although there have been significant improvements in the analytical methods employed to investigate such phenomena, much of this research still does not consider the role of reciprocal relationships that evolve over time. We provide four guidelines for improving the quality of both theoretical rigor and methodological robustness in this important area of organizational inquiry.

Creativity has gained increased significance by organizations in current time. Both individual and organizational factors contribute to it. This study explored the relationship between the Five Factor Model (FFM) of personality and employee creativity. Emotional intelligence (EI) is presented as a moderator in the relationship between the FFM and employee creativity. Using random sampling approach, the study was conducted on 232 regular employees from three service sector organizations. Respondents consisted of both genders working at different levels. Regression analyses showed that three dimensions of the model (FFM), namely, conscientiousness, extraversion and openness to experience influenced employee creativity positively and significantly. In addition, moderated regression analysis revealed that EI significantly strengthened the relationships between the three dimensions of the FFM and creativity of employees. The insinuations of the study are explained.

This study examined the relationship between trait-based emotional intelligence and employee creativity. Drawing from the trait activation theory (TAT), the current study also examined job autonomy and supervisor support as interactive effects on emotional intelligence—employee creativity relationship. The study was conducted on 233 employees working at different positions, in two financial sector organizations. Using random sampling approach, data were taken on standard questionnaire from employees of the organizations of the study. Correlations and regression analyses revealed that the trait-based emotional intelligence has positive and significant influence on employee creativity. Moderated regression analysis showed that both job autonomy and supervisor support strengthened the emotional intelligence—employee creativity relationship. The implications of the study have been explicated in the research.

Prior research on creativity has grasped the attention of researchers to devote more focus on the interaction that arises between the individual and the surrounding milieu. Thus, this study aimed to propose the moderating role of improvisation on the relationship between mindfulness and employee creativity. The propositions posted in this study was developed based on the relationships established within previous empirical studies among these variables. Such proposition of improvisation as a moderator on the relationship between mindfulness and employee creativity might heavily contribute to the theory by addressing the issue of mixed and inconclusive results in the mindfulness-creativity literature, and will provide a comprehensive understanding of how improvisation might help in unleashing the creative potentials of employees.

Wilbur Schramm understands by communication "the process of sending a message and transmitting it in a coded manner using a channel to a recipient for reception". All living bodies communicate with each other, and in society, communication is the paradigm of all human activities; everything that is subscribed to the human being has communicative and communicational connotations. The formation of the individual as a human being can be achieved only in his permanent interaction with others. This interaction is facilitated by the gregarious instinct of man, which is translated into a continuous search for the company of others.
