“…We compared our results with those of other published papers that investigated the relationship between emotional intelligence and job creativity or performance in different settings and populations. We found that our results were consistent with some studies that have reported a positive and strong relationship between emotional intelligence and creativity or performance (Gupta and Bajaj, 2017;Nguyen et al, 2019;Pekaar et al, 2017;Su et al, 2022;Tong et al, 2022;Xu et al, 2019). However, our results were also in contrast with some studies that have found a weak, negative, or non-significant relationship between emotional intelligence and creativity or performance or that have found other variables to be more important predictors (Hansenne and Legrand, 2012;Khassawneh et al, 2022;McCabe, 1991;Penrose et al, 2007;Shipley et al, 2010;Silva and Coelho, 2019;Wijayati et al, 2020).…”
