There is a certain amount of research that proves that positive emotions and mood play an important role in creative human activity (Abele-Brehm, 1992; Tokarz, 2011; Kunat, 2015). Particularly valuable is ability to recognise emotions and communicate them. It is also important to accept experienced emotions, gain a skill to react accordingly as well as ability to evoke and regulate emotions. According to Salovey and Mayer’s model, the aforementioned dispositions are elements of emotional intelligence. It turns out that emotional intelligence can stimulate creative activity since it enables management of emotional expenditure (Nęcka, 2001). The paper presents results of research conducted among teachers of primary schools. It was assumed that there is a correlation between emotional intelligence and creative activity of teachers. The research can contribute to development of emotional skills of teachers and to intensify their creative activity. That, in turn, can translate into shaping of innovative school environment that fits the needs of contemporary young person - a student.

The article demonstrates the research results that the author collected while carrying out the programme in Psychopedagogical diagnostics with students of the Faculty of Pedagogy. In the course of acquiring competences in the field of diagnostics, students become familiar with a number of diagnostic tools. The aim of one of the classes in the cycle was to familiarize the students with S. Popek’s Creative Behaviours Questionnaire. The implementation of a teaching objective formulated in such a manner concurrently enabled a cognitive objective: an accurate determination of levels of creative and imitative attitudes in 20 - 30-year old undergraduates of pedagogy. The author deemed it imperative for each student to evaluate the results of the Questionnaire in person. On the meta-analysis level it was considered significant to examine the distribution of creative and imitative attitudes of educationalists in compliance with nationwide norms. The research was conducted on the premises of three universities in three different cities in Silesia. The study group encompassed 116 persons and the non-random selection was determined by the membership in a group of full-time and part-time programmes.

Companies that perform well are often identified as either possessing creative work environments and (or) having high levels of employee engagement. Creative work environments are largely not well defined, although research alludes to contributing factors. On the other hand employee engagement is defined as the multiple emotional, rational and behavioural dimensions of an employee’s consistent level of effort, commitment and connection to their job. Some authors including Saks (2006) and Shuck and Wollard (2010) call for more scholarly research to increase our understanding of the drivers of employee engagement and the actions that organisations can take to improve engagement. There are references made in the literature to the existence of a relationship between a creative work environment and engaged employees (Isaksen & Ekvall 2010), but there is a lack of empirical evidence providing support for the direct relationship between the two. This study aims to explore the relationship, addressing the question of how a creative work environment impacts on employee engagement. Exploratory research to investigate this relationship will use a qualitative methodology with semi-structured interviews, field observations and document analysis. Key themes will be analysed at both the individual and team level reflecting the multi-level nature of the constructs.

Przedsiębiorstwa osiągające sukcesy charakteryzują się często kreatywnym środowiskiem pracy i (lub) wysokim poziomem zaangażowania pracowników. W literaturze przedmiotu podkreśla się występowanie zależności między kreatywnym środowiskiem pracy a zaangażowaniem pracowników, ale brak badań empirycznych, które by potwierdzały taką zależność. Kwestia ta stanowi przedmiot rozważań w niniejszym opracowaniu, w którym przedstawiono koncepcję badań eksploracyjnych z wykorzystaniem podejścia jakościowego, wykorzystującego częściowo ustrukturyzowane wywiady, obserwację w terenie oraz analizę dokumentów. Główne kwestie badawcze analizowane są na poziomie indywidualnym i zespołowym, odzwierciedlając wielopoziomową naturę konstruktu.
