Emotional intelligence and transformational leadership in a sample of Spanish managers: An exploratory study
Author | |
Abstract |
In this paper we analyze the relations between the dimensions of emotional intelligence (El), conceptualized as constructive thinking according to the cognitive experiential theory (Epstein. 1994), and the Transformational Leadership (TL) theory, based on Sashkin s model (1998), The results obtained after applying the Constructive Thinking Questionnaire by Epstein (2003). as a measure of EI, and the Leadership Behaviour Questionnaire by Sashkin (1998), as a measure of LT, to a sample of 190 middle managers in a large service organization, show the positive relationship between EI and TL, A stepwise regression analysis indicated that Efficacy and Superstition, two of the EI dimensions, have significant relationships with LT (28% of the explained variance). Implications of these results when designing development activities in the field of leadership are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: journal abstract)
