Abstract
There is dearth of empirical research substantiating the efficacy of emotional intelligence (EI) in relation to organizational commitment (OC). The EI data when subjected to principal axis factoring technique with varimax rotation procedure yielded 9 factors such as emotionality and impulsiveness, self-awareness, depression, managing anxieties, problem solving focus, assertiveness, empathy, self-confidence and managing others. With respect to OC affective and continuance commitment emerged representing dedication to and continued membership with the organization. EI factors such as self awareness, problem solving focus, assertiveness, empathy, self-confidence and managing others strongly predicted affective
commitment while emotionality, depression and managing others showed greater impact on the continuance commitment dimension.
