Introduction Research and Topic

The topic of the research is Emotional Intelligence and Leadership Effectiveness.

Objective
The objective of this research was to determine the relationship between supervisory EI (As measured by the MSCEIT) and a rating of supervisor effectiveness (subordinates scores).

Methodology
The study involved administering the Mayer Salovey Caruso emotional intelligence test (MSCEIT) EI test to 38 supervisors within a large manufacturing organization. Ratings of supervisory leadership effectiveness were assessed via subordinate ratings on an attitude survey detailing questions relating to supervisor performance. Altogether data were collated from a total of 1,258 survey responses

Finding
The overall results of the data analysis suggest that half of the MSCEIT scores may act as a strong predictor of leadership effectiveness, particularly the branches within the experiential EI domain (r 0.50, p, 0.001). Interestingly, the relationship between supervisor ratings and the reasoning EI domain (r 20.12) was not as expected.

Emerging concept
The overall results of the data analysis indicate that an individuals EI may indeed be a key determinant of effective leadership.
