EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: A VITAL HR ASSET FOR EMPOWERING LEADERS AND EMPLOYEES

Abstract

Emotional intelligence (EI) is the comprehension and processing of emotions and emotional data. Researchers and Human Resource (HR) practitioners are particularly interested in this topic because of its implications for leaders, employees, and organizational effectiveness. In this post, we will discuss the theories of Emotional Intelligence (EI) and review study data that show strong links between EI, leaders, and employees. Finally, we identify prospective areas for future research on the impact of Emotional Intelligence (EI) in business.
