Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence and creativity with the job performance of employees in the Education Department of District 8, Tehran.
Methods: In terms of data collection method, this research was descriptive and correlational, and in terms of purpose, it was applied. The statistical population included all employees of the Education Department of District 8 in Tehran, totaling 105 individuals. Based on the Morgan sample size table, the sample size was determined to be 83 participants. Stratified random sampling based on employees’ gender was used to select the sample. Data were collected through both library and field methods. The research instruments included the Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire by Schutte et al. (1998), the Creativity Questionnaire by Soltani (2011), and the Standard Job Performance Questionnaire by Moghimi et al. (2014). The reliability of these instruments, calculated using Cronbach’s alpha, was 0.88, 0.73, and 0.79 respectively. Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the relationships between the research variables, and regression analysis was employed to predict job performance.
Results: The results indicated that there is a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and creativity with employees’ job performance. Furthermore, emotional intelligence and creativity were able to predict the job performance of employees in the Education Department of District 8, Tehran. Given the higher Beta coefficient of emotional intelligence, it had a greater contribution to predicting employees’ job performance.
Conclusions: The findings suggest that emotional intelligence and creativity play an important role in improving employees’ job performance. Employees with higher levels of emotional intelligence and creativity tend to manage workplace challenges more effectively, communicate better, and perform their duties more efficiently. Therefore, it is recommended that educational organizations implement training programs aimed at enhancing emotional intelligence and fostering creativity among employees in order to improve overall organizational performance.
