“…Emotional intelligence was recognised by all of the case-study participants to be highly relevant and an important requirement for academic leadership. This was a reflection of the literature that identified the importance of emotional intelligence for leadership in higher education (Greenockle 2010;Herbst 2007;Herbst & Maree 2008;Scott, Coates & Anderson 2008;Ying & Ting 2010). The general feeling expressed by the case study participants was that leaders in higher education who possessed strong emotional intelligence were more respected by peers, colleagues and subordinates and performed more effectively as leaders.…”

“…While there are a number of alternate models of emotional intelligence, Herbst and Maree (2008) attest that there are three models predominantly used in emotional intelligence research these being the Bar-On (1997), Goleman (1995) and Salovey and Mayer (1990). Salovey and Mayer's (1990) model conceptualises emotional intelligence in terms of interconnected cognitive abilities, Bar-On (1997) provides a mixed model that describes emotional intelligence in terms of the interconnected emotional and social competencies, skills and enablers that influence behaviour.…”

This paper reports on a case-study research investigation that sought to identify the relevance of emotional intelligence for effective higher education academic leadership. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, pre and post a leadership capacity development intervention, to gather broad data on participants' experiences, insights, and engagement in leadership and the utilisation of emotional intelligence in leading. The study found that emotional intelligence is recognised as a highly relevant and important requirement for academic leadership in higher education. Additionally, the investigation ascertained that emotional intelligence traits related to empathy, inspiring and guiding others and responsibly managing oneself were most applicable for academic leadership. The views of participants regarding the relevance of these emotional intelligence traits in academic leadership are presented. Illustrations of how these emotional intelligence traits might manifest in a higher education context are also discussed.

“…According to Herbst and Maree (2008), the role that attributes play in predicting leadership success will become more prominent as leadership situations become more complex, and varied leadership represents a crucial determinant of police organisational efficacy (Adam, 2010). Police organisations need to formulate definitions of what effective leadership means in their own communities and policing contexts (Schafer, 2008).…”

“…Given the increased recognition of the importance of emotions in leadership literature, the question has arisen whether the concept of emotional intelligence, measured as a set of abilities, might provide insight into the difference between outstanding and below-par levels of leadership performance (Herbst & Maree, 2008). According to Mayer, Salovey and Caruso (2000), emotional intelligence includes the ability to perceive, appraise and express emotions accurately and adaptively; the ability to understand emotion and emotional knowledge; the ability to access and generate feelings where they facilitate cognitive activities and adaptive action and the ability to regulate emotions in yourself and others.…”

Orientation: Researching the impact of psychological constructs on police leadership may add value when appointing people in leadership positions or developing people for leadership roles in the police environment.Research purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between three constructs, namely emotional intelligence, self-efficacy and leadership effectiveness in a policing context.Motivation for this study: In the police sector, there are difficulties in linking leadership to organisational outcomes since common police-leadership measures are affected by multiple contributory factors. This study explores the psychological constructs of emotional intelligence and self-efficacy on the leadership effectiveness of the police.Research design, approach and method: This research adopted a quantitative approach to assess the relationship between emotional intelligence and self-efficacy as attributes of leadership effectiveness. A total of 107 police personnel in commanding positions made up the sample. The measuring instruments used were the Assessing Emotions Scale, the Self-efficacy Scale and the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ Form 5X).Main findings: The results confirmed a positive relationship between emotional intelligence and self-efficacy and leadership effectiveness. The correlations were significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).Practical/managerial implications: Emotional intelligence and self-efficacy should be considered as attributes during the selection of leaders in police organisations or used for developmental purposes to enhance these attributes in police leaders.Contribution/value-add: The insights gained from the findings may be used to guide the selection of future leaders in the policing environment, and they could also be used to establish future developmental programmes and research initiatives.
