Abstract
In recent times, emotional intelligence
has been hailed by both academicians
and practitioners as a soft
skill that is critical for managers to
succeed in their professional roles.
Considerable research interest is
seen today in the hitherto neglected
area of human emotions and their
impact at the workplace. This paper
presents the results of an empirical
study undertaken to see the influence
of emotional intelligence and
rational emotive behaviour on managerial
effectiveness. The study
sample consisted of 305 managers
from diverse industries in the public
and private sectors. Results showed
that both the variables positively influence
managerial effectiveness.
Further, rational emotive behaviour
was found to moderate the relationship
between emotional intelligence
and managerial effectiveness. Implications
of these findings are discussed
in the paper.
