Examining the interdependencies among emotional intelligence, trust, and performance in infrastructure projects: A multilevel study

Impact of Emotional Intelligence on Individual and Project Team Performance in Information Technology Projects Under the Moderating Role of Task Interdependence

“…Whereas literature is silent about emotional intelligence and employee performance in the milieu of project management in the context of Pakistan so this study is aimed to seal this slit. Also confirmed by previous literature analysis, there is no explicit research that has considered the moderating effect of task interdependence on the relationship of emotional intelligence and performance at multilevel in project setting which have indicated by Rezvani et al (2018) too. This study will contribute in the body of literature by filling these gaps.…”

“…Conceptual framework: Literature is enriched by studies which have tried to ascertain emotional intelligence and its components in relation to trust (Rezvani et al, 2018), team members behaviors, creativity and conflicts (Barczak et al, 2010), leadership (Chang et al, 2012), performance (Sy et al, 2006;Rezvani et al, 2018), Job satisfaction (Greenidge et al, 2014) and Project success (Rezvani et al, 2018). Quoidbach and Hansenne (2009) claimed that emotional intelligence could accelerate team performance and cohesiveness in the nursing profession.…”

“…It is governed by the nature of the venture too, but statistics portray that up to fourteen percent of the success of a project is contributed by the aptitude or competency of participants and team as a whole. One of the remarkable skill or aptitude that affects project goal attainment is the capability to identify, rectify, intensify, modify and apprehend the surreptitious sentiments of humans, which is termed as emotional intelligence (Mazur et al, 2014;Rezvani et al, 2018). Certain dimensions of emotional intelligence can manifestly predict the worker's performance and their career satisfaction while the magnitude and quality of performance unswervingly influence mission success or failure (Okoronkwo, 2017;Lebeck and Chighizola, 2018;Rezvani et al, 2018).…”

Thus, based on the above discussion, in this research, we argue that emotional intelligence is an important measure of performance at both individual and team levels in IT projects.…”

“…Individual performance is continually influenced by a person's level of motivation and emotional intelligence. Indeed, emotional intelligence is considerably a vital determinant of learning based performance of a person as compared to general intelligence (Lam and Kirby, 2002) while in intricate projects, emotional intelligence significantly controls the performance of a team (Rezvani et al, 2018). In the viewpoint of Javed (2018), enthusiastic insight is responsible for putting superlative exertions in every single work an individual do in any situation.…”
