Abstract

In an environment of digitization and globalization, where the pace with which advancement in technology takes place, has created a mounting pressure on organizations to adapt, change and innovate in order to remain competitive. In the current paper, an integrative conceptual framework linking leader’s emotional intelligence to employee creativity is proposed. Existing literature highlights the need to explore mechanism by which leader’s EI influence creativity. To advance the understanding of relationship between leader’s EI and creativity, we propose psychological climate as a mechanism explaining the path through which leader’s emotional intelligence affects creativity. The framework also presents the significance of leader member exchange in these relationships.

4. Conclusion

As creative employees help the organizations in desired innovation, it becomes imperative for organizations to identify and understand how creative potential of their employees could be unleashed. In light of this, the proposed integrative framework contributes in exploring the relationship among leader’s EI, psychological climate, LMX and employee’s creativity. In addition, migrating from typical cohort of studies investigating the role of emotional intelligence in focal employees, this framework is an attempt where focus is on leader’s EI and its influence on employee’s creativity.

This framework simultaneously illuminates the mechanism as to how and when leader’s EI influence employee’s creativity. The proposed framework suggests that leader’s EI facilitates favorable psychological climate which further promotes employee’s creativity. In addition, it also indicates that effects of leader’s EI on employee’s creativity via psychological climate will be more prominent when leaders have high quality LMX subordinates.
