Managerial Emotional Intelligence and Organizational Survival of Government Hospitals in Delta State of Nigeria

The research looked at the relationship between managerial emotional intelligence and the survival of government hospitals. The research is a position paper that focuses on the alarming rates of organizational failures due to managerial incompetence. How can management emotional intelligence have a positive impact on the emotional attitudes of managers toward themselves and others in order to improve organizational high performance and survival? The mixed model of emotional intelligence is used in this study, which emphasizes emotional intelligence as a development rather than a trait. The goal of the study was to determine whether there was a link between emotional intelligence, the predictor variable, and sub-variables such self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness, and relationship management. Adaptability, leadership support, employee empowerment, and profitability were measured as sub-variables of the criterion variable organizational survival. The findings show that managers should focus on their emotional competences rather than their sociability and likability in order to understand their strengths and limitations and progress. Finally, management will succeed if they know and accept themselves, as well as other people’s feelings and worries. It is also suggested that managers develop emotional intelligence in order to deliver good managerial functions and duties that would encourage organizational growth and survival.
