Özet
A good deal of study has already been revealed compact bilateral relationships between creative thinking, entrepreneurship, and emotional intelligence among teacher candidates. However, a compact review of the literature will not find a study with a sample of teacher candidates investigating the mediating effects of creative thinking in the relationship between their emotional intelligence and entrepreneurship. In this respect, missing from the literature is an actual constructed data-driven knowledge that promotes to understanding of systematic rationality of supposed associations. To that end, the current research designed in a descriptivecorrelational structural equation model (Covariance based) to test a developed hypothetical model bearing upon the literature. A survey was deployed to gather the data of 412 teacher candidates. 297 of these were females and 115 were males. The data analysis techniques were confined to descriptive, correlational, and prediction algorithms of the SPSS and the AMOS's standardized regression coefficients and the goodness of fit indices for the path model. The results uncovered that the emotional intelligence positively predicted the entrepreneurship and creative thinking. In this way, we understand that when the emotional intelligence increases, entrepreneurship and creative thinking also increase. On the other hand, creative thinking positively predicted the entrepreneurship. Specifically, entrepreneurship increases when creative thinking increases. In closing, teacher candidates' creative thinking played a significant role in the relationship between their emotional intelligence and entrepreneurship. The implication of these results can be advantageous for the planning and designing more effective courses of teacher education in accordance with the 21st century educational trends.
