The Impact of Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace on Productivity

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and workplace productivity, exploring how EI influences individual and organizational performance. Emotional intelligence, defined as the ability to recognize, understand, manage, and influence emotions in oneself and others, has gained increasing importance in organizational behavior. The research employs a quantitative approach, collecting data from 150 employees across various industries. Through correlational analysis, the study reveals a strong positive relationship between high emotional intelligence and increased productivity, particularly in stress management and interpersonal skills. The findings suggest that employees with higher EI are better equipped to manage workplace challenges, fostering enhanced task completion, collaboration, and overall performance. The study emphasizes the value of developing emotional intelligence within organizations to optimize productivity and enhance workplace dynamics
