Factors Influencing Emotional Intelligence and Organizational Commitment among College Teachers; a Systematic Study

Abstract

Emotional intelligence (EI) plays a significant role in shaping organizational commitment among college teachers. College faculty members often work in dynamic and demanding environments, where interpersonal relationships and effective communication are crucial. This heightened emotional awareness and regulation not only enhance their ability to establish positive working relationships but also contribute to a more positive and supportive work environment. When college teachers feel valued, understood, and supported, their commitment to the organization increases. They are more likely to align themselves with the institution's mission and goals, which, in turn, can result in greater job satisfaction and a willingness to invest in their long-term career with the college. In essence, emotional intelligence fosters a sense of belonging and attachment to the organization, which is a critical component of organizational commitment. Institutions that promote emotional intelligence and provide training and support in this area can foster a more engaged and committed faculty, ultimately benefiting both the teachers and the institution as a whole.
