Abstract: This study examined the relationship between trait-based emotional intelligence and employee creativity. Drawing from the trait activation theory (TAT), the current study also examined job autonomy and supervisor support as interactive effects on emotional intelligence—employee creativity relationship. The study was conducted on 233 employees working at different positions, in two financial sector organizations. Using random sampling approach, data were taken on standard questionnaire from employees of the organizations of the study. Correlations and regression analyses revealed that the trait-based emotional intelligence has positive and significant influence on employee creativity. Moderated regression analysis showed that both job autonomy and supervisor support strengthened the emotional intelligence—employee creativity relationship. The implications of the study have been explicated in the research.
