Revealing the Effect of Emotional Intelligence on Organizational Effectiveness: Perspectives from Industrial-Organizational Psychology

Abstract

The study reveals the concept of emotional intelligence and its effects on individuals and organizations within the field of Industrial-Organizational psychology. In recent years, emotional intelligence has emerged as a focal point for researchers and practitioners, recognizing its capacity to support various aspects of workplace dynamics, including performance, teamwork, leadership, and overall organizational success. The findings of this research explained the profound impacts of emotional intelligence on a range of employee behaviors and organizational interactions. Individuals with heightened emotional intelligence exhibit advanced communication skills, accurately managing their emotions and articulating themselves effectively. This proficiency extends to conflict resolution scenarios, where individuals demonstrate resilience and approach resolutions with empathy and open-mindedness, fostering enhanced collaboration, stronger interpersonal connections, and heightened group cohesion. The study adopts a triangulation methodology to examine different data sources to ensure the validity and reliability of the research outcomes. Furthermore, the research framework is rooted in Salovey and Mayer's Four-Branch Model of emotional intelligence.
