The Influence of Emotional Intelligence on Leadership Effectiveness in Organizations

Abstract

The objective of this research is to investigate the influence of emotional intelligence on leadership effectiveness in businesses. This is in addition to the fact that it is an empirical study that serves both descriptive and analytical goals. The primary data were collected through a standardised questionnaire administered to 110 individuals. A wide range of professional hierarchies and functional areas was represented among the individuals who participated in the analysis. A series of samples was collected at regular intervals to accomplish the purpose of this project. In this investigation, emotional intelligence served as the independent variable, while the dependent variables included the firm's environmental climate, employee outcomes, leadership style, and leadership effectiveness. Additionally, the technique and the medium are both crucial factors to consider. Numerous methods were applied to conduct the intended statistical analysis. The basic linear regression, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, the Spearman correlation, and the percentage analysis were among the approaches utilised. Although there is a correlation between the defined dependent variables and the emotional intelligence of the examined population, it does not meet the criteria for statistical significance. Nevertheless, the literature review clearly demonstrates that emotional intelligence is essential for enhancing leadership effectiveness, employee job satisfaction, collaboration, and organisational performance. In conclusion, this research demonstrates that emotional intelligence is a critical leadership competency that must be prioritised to enhance leadership effectiveness and produce sustainable organisational outcomes.
