Abstract

The scope of this study is to explore the role of emotional intelligence (EI) in leaders on the commitment level of the subordinates. Data was collected from dyadic sources using survey method and convenient sampling. Total 155 professionals forming 89 pairs from information technology (IT) and manufacturing sector in India participated in this study. The results indicate a significant relationship between trait-based EI and affective commitment, when the designations of the leader and the subordinates were controlled. However, no significant results were found between EI and normative and continuance commitments. The result challenges some of the basic assumptions about EI and suggests that the relationship between EI and organizational commitment is complex.
