Abstract

Emotion regulation, emotion management, self motivation and happiness are some of the psychological factors that play a crucial role in the satisfaction of the employees in the workplace and result in improving their output quality and quantity. The basic motive of the current study was to find out the impact on four independent variables i.e. emotion management, emotion regulation, self motivation and happiness on employee creativity in the presence of the mediating role of employee engagement. For this purpose, the researcher collected data from 465 employees of pharmaceutical companies through self administered questionnaires. After the analysis of the collected data through structure equation modeling, it was found out that all hypotheses generated by the researcher in the earlier sections of the study have been accepted. In other words, there is significant relationship between emotion management, emotion regulation, self motivation and happiness and employee creativity. In addition, the mediating impact of employee engagement in organization is also significant in all cases i.e. between the relationship of emotion regulation, emotion management, self motivation and happiness, being the independent ones and employee creativity, being the dependent one.
