Self-hypnotic Therapy as a Tool to Boost Emotional Intelligence-An Empirical Study

Emotional Intelligence has been an integral part of an astute professional in the contemporary corporate world. It is this emotional quotient that defines and determines one's professional excellence. Moreover, the workplaces in a service industry is characterised by the interactions among the humans who are fundamentally emotional creatures and the quality of these interactions strengthen the psychological contract among the employees at workplace. The concept may not be limited only for employees but also during the process of customer interaction cycle. Hence, it can be inferred that emotions play a vital role in conditioning the workplace behaviours and finally results in enhanced workplace productivity. Aligned to the importance of Emotional Intelligence at the contemporary workplace, the researchers adopted an empirical study on boosting Emotional Quotient (EQ) through self-hypnotic therapy. In this study, the authors had an assumption that the EQ levels can be enhanced through the self-hypnotic practices through a fixed time interval. Based on the assumptions, the authors administered the self-hypnotic therapy on the young officers of a bank through a systematic process. Indeed, the experiment group showed a considerable improvement in their EQ levels during the post hypnotictherapy. Based on the results, the authors infer that the EQ levels can be enhanced among the young professionals through. Consequently, it is assumed that the young officers will be emotionally stable and they can also manage the emotions of their colleagues at workplace effectively.
