A Study of Relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Organizational Commitment in the Employees Working from Home

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is one of the most widely studied issues in organizational studies. Job performance, job happiness, organizational civic behavior, and organizational commitment have all been proven to be major predictors of EI. Emotional intelligence is about controlling emotions to be correctly communicated. Therefore, in a constructive and transparent environment, people may work together towards a common goal. Employees value emotions when their leaders do. Employees can mirror a manager's mood if he or she is enthusiastic, confident, creative, adaptable, tolerant, courteous, and caring. Organizational Commitment (OC) is regarded as a key indicator of the effectiveness of an organization. In the current study Emotional Intelligence and organizational commitment level of the individuals who were working from home was collected using standardized scales. When working from home the level of communication and coordination among the people working in an organization is low and therefore over and above the traditional factors that influence the level of commitment of an employee, EI is also a factor to be looked into. While working from home the factors that affect the commitment level of employees are more internal in nature than external. Correlation and regression have been applied in order to understand the relationship between the two variables of the study The findings of the study showed that EI and Organizational Commitment are moderately correlated as there are other factors as well that have an impact on the commitment level of an employee over and above his or her level of emotional intelligence.
