The Importance of EQ in Organizations: Sample Pacific Rim Trio and Türkiye

Abstract

In an era where success in the business world is often attributed to individuals, it is essential to consider the sources of human power from multiple dimensions. People possess a range of inherent and acquired traits throughout their lives. These traits, along with values, attitudes, and behaviors, contribute to an individual's cognitive intelligence (IQ) and emotional intelligence (EQ), both of which are crucial for acceptance into an organization. Therefore, it is important to emphasize the significance of EQ alongside IQ within organizations.This study draws on data from the 2019 research "The Intelligence of Nations" by Ulster University researchers Richard Lynn and David Becker, which is widely used for international IQ assessments (including the World Population Review), as well as data from the 2023 Future of Jobs Report published by the World Economic Forum (WEF). According to these reports, basic skill requirements in organizations from Japan, Taiwan, and Singapore—countries that rank in the top three for IQ evaluation—along with organizations in Türkiye, have been examined. In these organizations, EQ, or emotional intelligence, ranks second in terms of basic skill requirements, with the demand for EQ being more than half of the demand for IQ, which is ranked first. While IQ is effectively used to understand information and solve problems, EQ is crucial for facilitating and maintaining organizational coordination by understanding both one's own and others' emotions. Therefore, in contemporary postmodern management, it has been concluded that the emotional intelligence of employees is as important as their IQ, in addition to the traditional emphasis on IQ.
