“…Along the same lines, Hayton and Cholakova (2012) mention that affect not only influences creativity through the generation of business ideas, it also influences the intent to improve them. However, evidence contradicting these results has also been found, and negative affect also stimulates creativity under certain circumstances (Bledow, Rosing & Frese, 2013;George & Zhou, 2002, 2007Kaufmann, 2015;Kaufmann & Vosburg, 2002;Yang & Hung, 2015). Therefore, it is still impossible to generalize the relationship between positive affect and creativity.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to investigate creativity as an intermediate variable existing within the relationship between entrepreneurial passion and entrepreneurial alertness.Design/methodology/approach -This is a quantitative research using a moderated mediation model. A questionnaire is used and the analyses are performed with the answers from 244 people with at least 3 years of professional experience and graduate business studies. The discriminant validity of the variables is revised and a hierarchical regression analysis is performed for the hypotheses test.Findings -Significant relations are obtained with which a positive relationship between entrepreneurial passion and creativity can be confirmed, as well as a positive relationship between creativity and entrepreneurial alertness. However, the results also reported that creativity partially mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial passion and entrepreneurial alertness.Originality/value -The contribution of this research lies on showing empirical evidence of the link between entrepreneurial passion, creativity, and entrepreneurial alertness through the use of measurement scales recently developed. It also presents creativity as an intermediate variable in the entrepreneurial passion-alertness relationship.

“…Evidently, an active approach to regulating emotions implies not completely emotionally detaching from work. Moreover, Bledow, Rosing, and Frese (2013) recently found that creativity increases if a person experiences an episode of negative affect that is followed by a decrease in negative affect and an increase in positive affect (i.e., affective shift). According to the authors, an episode of negative affect can lay the foundation for high creativity at a later point in time, whereas the regulation of negative affect plays a key role for achieving high levels of creativity.…”

“…Positive affect regulates direction, type and speed of cognition (Schwarz & Bless, 1991;Carver & White, 1994;Kazan & Kuhl, 2005). An increase in positive affect, leads to behavioral control and desirable outcomes (Fredrickson, 2005;Bledow, Rosing, & Frese, 2013).…”

Business firms across the globe have always endeavoured to identify and strengthen drivers of employee engagement at the individual, group and organizational level. Drivers at the individual level have been less researched and tested in previous studies. This study attempts to examine the role of emotional intelligence as an individual antecedent of employee engagement. This is hypothesized drawing from literature that emotional intelligence plays an important role in shaping positive workplace feelings, attitudes and behaviour. Responses captured and analyzed from randomly selected sample of 182 professionals working in Indian organizations revealed that emotional intelligence especially mood repair augments high levels of employee engagement manifested through higher vigor, dedication and absorption in employees. These findings have significant implications for both research and practice.
