UNVEILING THE NEXUS BETWEEN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND WORKPLACE ENGAGEMENT

Abstract

Modern organisational research has focused a lot of attention on employee engagement, which is essential for organisational success.  Furthermore, the capacity to understand, manage, and effectively align thought processes, "emotional intelligence" has become a well-known concept with the potential to affect employee engagement results. Through a thorough investigation, the research reflects the complex intricacies of "Emotional intelligence" and job engagement. This study aims to investigate the effects of several features of "Emotional intelligence" on various aspects of employee engagement by drawing on established theories and empirical data. It also looks into whether certain "Emotional intelligence" traits have a stronger impact on some engagement outcomes than others.

Additionally, the study proposes potential mediating factors that could explain the link of "Emotional intelligence (EI)" & employee engagement (EE). The research intends to close the research gap that asks for a comprehensive understanding of how "Emotional intelligence" and EE interact by synthesising the body of available material. The results have ramifications for organisational procedures intended to raise employee engagement and well-being. This study advances knowledge of the dynamic intricacies of "Emotional intelligence" and "workplace engagement" with the integration between theory and empirical research.
