The Relationship Between Emotional Quotient and Guna Typology

This is a study to explore the relationship between E.Q. (Emotional Quotient) and Guna Typology/ H.Q.Q. (Human Quality Quotient). Other studies have shown that the leaders with high emotional intelligence see changes as opportunities for achieving something better. Further, they cherish not stability but ongoing development of individual workers and the organization itself and thereby sustainable development. An empirical study was undertaken at Salora Company New Delhi with sample size of 170 executives and out of which 14 subjects dropped out. Subjects were divided into two groups -Yoga and Control Group. Yoga group was given one month SMET (Self management of Excessive Tension) program one hour everyday. Data collected during this experiment has been used to study the relationship between E.Q. and Guna typology/ H.Q.Q. Emotional Quotient Questionnaire developed by Chadha from Delhi University was used to measure the Emotional Quotient as an indicator of emotional well being and Guna Questionnaire developed by Pathak. Bhatt and Sharma was used to assess the guna typology/ H.Q.Q. The present study shows that there was no correlation between EQ and Guna typology/HQQ leading us to the conclusion that EQ and Guna typology/HQQ are two distinct concepts entirely and it would be wrong to ipso facto conclude that the Guna Typology can even explain Human Quality Quotient. The results of this investigation indicate that there is no correlation between E.Q and Guna. This study is an initial study in this field of ethics and a more detailed study would need to be done to measure the link between E.Q, Guna/ H.Q.Q. whereby the author has used Sharma's methodological empiricism to enable her to Chakraborty's humanistic spiritualism and Sadri's hard nosed rationalism.
