Abstract

The study investigated emotional intelligence as it pertains to innovativeness dynamic of entrepreneurial orientation in Nigeria. Two (2) components of emotional intelligence were employed, namely personal and social. Survey design and questionnaire was adopted; the questionnaire was administered to employees of some selected small and medium scale enterprises in Delta State. Data obtained in the field survey were analyzed via descriptive (mean, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis and Karl Pearson correlation), post estimation test (variance inflation factor) and inferential (multiple regression) statistical tools. Findings indicated a statistically significant and positive relationship between emotional intelligence (components of personal and social) and innovativeness dynamic of entrepreneurial orientation in Nigeria. This implies that emotional intelligence (personal and social) contributes to innovativeness of the entrepreneur. Given the findings of the study, it was recommended that management of small and medium scale enterprises should encourage employees to develop an innate tendency (personal intelligence) and team capabilities (social intelligence) towards entrepreneurship. In order to further foster innovativeness of entrepreneurs, there is the need for small and medium scale enterprises to ensure swift adaptability to change catalysts as well as building a bond among employees
