Abstract:
Emotional Intelligence (EI) is an unfamiliar term to the general population. Much of Western society focuses on Intelligence Quotient (IQ). However, there is so much more to the human brain and capacity. EI is the key to successful performance in both work and personal environments. Self-efficacy is the sense of believing in oneself, this personal belief can ultimately change an outcome of a situation or goal. The objective of the present study was to analyze the relationship that an individual's level of EI has on their level of self-efficacy. Data was collected and analyzed from 102 participants during an online survey designed to measure level of EI and level of self-efficacy. Participants of the study were gathered using convenient sampling and met the minimum required age of 18 to participate. The key finding from this research study revealed a positive and significant relationship between EI and self-efficacy. Practical implications from this analysis contributes to how an individual's emotions and competency are related to one another by having the ability to depict successful performance in relation to understanding human intellectual capacity.
