Abstract:
Employees in any kind of an organization have to deal with a range of tasks, duties
and responsibilities. In order to accomplish their individual objectives and
organizational objectives successfully, employees are required to possess a set of
competencies and a required level of intelligence. With the evolution of the concept of
intelligence, emotional intelligence has become one of the more influential concepts.
It demonstrates the ability to monitor ones’ own and others’ feelings and emotions to
discriminate among them and to use this information to guide ones’ thinking and
action. Researches in this field have uncovered many relationships between
emotional intelligence and different human behavior. The objective of this study was
to investigate the nature of the relationship between emotional intelligence and
psychological well-being of public and private sector executives who are following
masters’ degrees from recognized national universities. A sample consisting of 200
participants has taken into consideration and the analysis is conducted by using 182
questionnaires. A structured questionnaire has used to collect primary data for the
study. The univariate and bivariate analysis were used to analyze primary data and
the major finding of the study was that there is a moderate positive relationship
between emotional intelligence and psychological well-being of executives in the
sample. Also there is a significant positive impact of emotional intelligence on
psychological well-being. Emotionally intelligent employees will possess a higher
level of psychological well-being and it will positively impact on their success of their
work as well as non-work life.
