Sustainability, Vol. 11, Pages 6123: Are Emotionally Intelligent People More Creative? A Meta-Analysis of the Emotional Intelligence-Creativity Link (Sustainability)
 


Although emotional intelligence (EI) is positively associated with beneficial outcomes such as higher job performance and better psychological well-being, its relationship with creativity is uncertain. To assess an overall correlation between EI and creativity, in the present study a meta-analysis of 96 correlations obtained from 75 studies with a total sample size of 18,130 was conducted. The results uncovered a statistically significant moderate correlation (r = 0.36, 95% CI, 0.30–0.42, p < 0.01) between these two constructs. Moderation analyses revealed that the link was modulated by the type of creativity/EI measure (subjective reports vs. objective tests) and sample characteristics, such as gender, employment status, and culture. Specifically, the link was stronger when creativity and EI were measured using subjective reports compared to objective tests. In addition, the link was stronger in males compared to females, in employees compared to students, and in East Asian samples compared to Western European and American samples. Theoretical implications and future directions are discussed in detail.
