The Moderating Role of Job Complexity %X This study examines the influence of emotional intelligence on employee creativity with the moderating role of job complexity. The research aims to understand the influence of emotional intelligence on employee creativity and the moderating role of job complexity. The study uses a causal research design and questionnaires to collect primary data from 206 full-time employees working in private and government organizations across Lampung Province. Confirmatory factor analysis supports the validity and reliability of the measurement model. Descriptive statistics and regression models are used to analyze data, and t-tests are used to evaluate hypotheses. The study's results support hypothesis 1, confirming that emotional intelligence positively influences employee creativity through effective emotion management, empathy, self-control, and collaboration. However, hypothesis 2 was rejected as job complexity did not moderate this relationship significantly, however, engaging in a complex job might limit creativity and have an adverse influence on positive emotions in the work setting. The findings suggest that companies can enhance emotional intelligence by involving training, fostering a supportive culture, and forming diverse teams. Boosting creativity in organizations can be accomplished by promoting collaboration, acknowledging innovation, and implementing efficient workload management strategies and problem-solving training. %D 2024 %C Universitas Lampung %R 2051011009 %I Fakultas Ekonomi dan Bisnis %L eprints79849
