The Role of Emotional Intelligence in Leadership and Team Dynamics

Abstract

The anticipated influence of team emotional intelligence on both intra team conflict and team effectiveness is of considerable importance. Nevertheless, up until now, there has been a scarcity of scientific evidence regarding this association. This work makes a valuable contribution to the existing body of literature on intra team conflict and team emotional intelligence by adopting a holistic approach. Additionally, a positive correlation was shown between team emotional intelligence and team effectiveness, encompassing team performance, innovation, and cohesion. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the emotional intelligence of a team plays a significant role in mitigating the relationship between task conflict and relationship conflict. Additionally, the research reveals that team emotional intelligence serves to mitigate the adverse impacts of task conflict on team effectiveness, as well as relational conflict on team cohesion. The present study is concluded with a comprehensive examination of its limitations and the subsequent implications for future research.
