Abstract:
Modern organization theory considers emotional intelligence as the
index of competencies that help organizations to develop a vision for
competitiveness. It also allows organizational leaders to
enthusiastically commit to the vision, and energize organizational
members to achieve the vision. To maximize competiveness
organizations use models to simplify and clarify thinking, to identify
important aspects, to suggest explanations and to predict
consequences, and explore other performance areas that would
otherwise be hidden in an excess of words. The survey research
design was used to explore the relationship between emotional
intelligence and organizational competitiveness. The study found that
emotional intelligence has strong positive relationship with
organizational competitiveness.
