Abstract

This study is intended to examine the relationship between creativity of employees and their interpersonal relations. A quantitative research design is employed for this study. The data has been collected using self- administered questionnaires, from National Capital Region, India. A sample of 400 employees is selected using stratified systematic sampling. The results show that employees having a high interpersonal relations score have scored high on norm reference (NR) creativity as well, but have scored less on total creativity. Employees having a high score on need for control , have scored high on NR Creativity as well, but have scored low on criterion referenced (CR)creativity. Those showing a high score on need for affection have shown a high score on NR and CR Creativity as well. Employees scoring high on need for inclusion have scored high on NR Fluency as well.
