The effect of the bright triad on positive innovation in healthcare sector: The mediating role of emotional intelligence

ABSTRACT

The study examines whether the presence of the Brilliant Triad of personality traits–emotional stability, conscientiousness, and agreeableness–leads to positive Innovation among individuals working in health organizations. It also investigates the role of emotional intelligence as a mediating variable in explaining this relationship. The current study model, which includes three main variables, is tested on the basis of the theory of emotional events. The sample of the study included 364 junior physicians who worked in a variety of clinical departments in public hospitals in one of the cities in southern Iraq. A questionnaire form was used to collect study data, and a structural equation model was used to test the hypothetical model. The bulk of relationships in the search model were reinforced by data analysis. Findings demonstrated the value of emotional intelligence as a mediating factor in establishing a precise understanding of the connection between the Bright Triad and constructive Innovation. The study's findings were used to discuss a wide range of theoretical and practical implications and to make some suggestions for future research.
