Abstract:
There is increasing acceptability of emotional intelligence as a major factor in personality assessment and effective
human resource management. Emotional intelligence as the ability to build capacity, empathize, co-operate, motivate and
develop others cannot be divorced from both effective performance and human resource management systems. The
human person is crucial in defining organizational leadership and fortunes in terms of challenges and opportunities and
walking across both multinational and bilateral relationships. The growing complexity of the business world requires a
great deal of self-confidence, integrity, communication, conflict and diversity management to keep the global enterprise
within the paths of productivity and sustainability. Using the exploratory research design and 255 participants the result
of this original study indicates strong positive correlation between emotional intelligence and effective human resource
management. The paper offers suggestions on further studies between emotional intelligence and human capital
development and recommends for conflict management as an integral part of effective human resource management.
