Résumé

This cross-sectional correlational study examined the apparent relationship between emotional intelligence and innovative work behavior among general practitioners in Sétif's public hospitals, Algeria, and explored transformational leadership's potential moderating role. A convenience sample (N = 285) from four hospitals completed the WLEIS, Janssen, and MLQ-5X scales, validated via confirmatory factor analysis. Results showed significant positive correlations between emotional intelligence and innovative behavior (r = 0.42; r = 0.608, latent level) and between transformational leadership and innovative behavior (r = 0.40), jointly explaining 33.1% of variance. Since all three scales were completed by the same respondents, and the first two in one session without counterbalancing, these associations may be partly inflated by common method bias and need independent verification. The moderating effect was significant but negligible (ΔR² = 0.016), tested exploratorily given limited power (≈ 0.72). Findings are constrained by design and Sétif-only scope.
