Çalışma Yaşamında Duygusal Zeka ve Bireylerin Duygusal Zeka Düzeylerini Kullanabilme Becerileri Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Abstract

Kendi duygularını anladığı ve yönetebildiği kadar, başkalarının duygularını anlayabilen ve tanımlayabilen bireylerin hem iş hem de özel yaşamlarında başarılı olacağı kabul edilmektedir. Kurumsal bir yapı içinde onlarca insanın bir arada çalıştığı ve aynı zamanda psiko-sosyal bir yönü olan örgütler, beşeri kaynakların her açıdan etkin kullanımı yanında bu kaynakların kendi içlerinde kurdukları güçlü ilişki ve iletişimin sinerjik etkisi ile başarılı olabilirler. Bu nedenle sadece yüksek zeka katsayısına sahip, teknik ve mantıksal becerileri gelişmiş çalışanların varlığı başarı için yeterli değildir. Aynı zamanda, duygularını ve kendini tanıyan, onları kontrol edebilen, başkalarının duygularını anlayabilen yani duygusal ve sosyal kapasitesi yüksek çalışanların varlığına da ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu düşünceden hareketle gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmada Tarsus Kaymakamlığında görev yapan personelin Duygusal Zeka düzeyleri ve bunu kullanabilme becerileri araştırılmıştır
