Abstract

Information systems development requires developer skills and abilities that may go beyond traditional technical expertise. The IS development environment provides a rich arena for the interplay of emotional intelligence, creativity, and performance where these variables are likely to play a significant role. Based on a synthesis of the IS and other relevant literature, this paper presents a model that identifies the influence of emotional intelligence and creativity on job performance. The model also identifies the likely moderating influence of person-job fit in the relationships of EI and creativity to job performance for IS professionals. The paper outlines an empirical study that plans to investigate and test the proposed model.
