Abstract


'Intelligence quotient gets us hired and Emotional quotient us promoted". Emotional intelligence is one of an important arena where a business or any organization needs to concentrate, if it wants to lift itself from average to excellent performance. Emotionally intelligent employees have the willingness to work together to their maximum effectiveness, which leads to the organization's success. Highly emotionally intelligent people have high work performance and personal productivity levels and consequently enjoy greater job satisfaction, in spite of the job nature or environment. Thus EI is very much essential for an employee to reach greater heights in the organization. Agriculture is seasonal in India and therefore employees in agricultural input industry especially in the marketing field are put up under high pressure to reach their targets. This study was done to find the EI level of employees in middle level management working in different agricultural input firms in Tamil Nadu and results of the study revealed that level of EI vanes among different sectors. Experience of employees is positively related to the level of EI whereas age has no impact. EI is a skill, so it can be enhanced through certain training and capacity building programs.
