Emotional Intelligence & Job Performance in Banking & Insurance Sector in India

Inadequate evidence with regard to the direct effect of emotional intelligence on job performance has restricted its use as a tool for personnel planning and development.With the help of regression analysis, this study establishes that there is a direct relationship between emotional intelligence and job performance. Therefore, we should restructure our selection procedures in a way that gives due weightage to emotional intelligence while hiring employees. A limitation of this study is that it is confined to banking and insurance sector enterprises of India.
