Abstract
The study explored the relationship of self-efficacy with emotional intelligence
among creative and non-creative people. The sample (N = 400) consisted of 200
creative employees (100 females and 100 males) and 200 non- creative
employees (100 female and 100 male) from Multan. Creative Disposition Scale
(Mcshane & Glinow (2003), Emotional Quotient Scale (Goleman, 2001), and
The General Self-Efficacy Scale (Sherer, Maddux, & Mercandante 1982) were
used to measure creativity, emotional intelligence, and self-efficacy respectively.
Results indicated that there is a significant positive relationship between selfefficacy and emotional intelligence, and creative employees have higher levels of
emotional intelligence and self-efficacy as compared to non-creative employees.
Findings suggested that females are more creative and are more emotionally
intelligent as compared to males while the findings further reported no gender
differences in the level of self-efficacy. It implies that female and male employees
have equal levels of self-efficacy.
