is the a direction in emf ??

Circuit schematic of a battery labelled E with its positive terminal marked + connected in a rectangular loop to a lamp symbol on the right side; the battery's arrow points upward along its symbol.

Does electromotive force have a direction?
In some circuits it is showed as in the image above..
Please tell me that it having a direction
