EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE TRAINING IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

Ali Reza AFSHARI1

Recent research recognizes the importance of Emotional Intelligence (EI) in the Construction industry. Research on EI in Construction are predominantly quantitative to measure the relationship between EI and work-related factors. EI has suggested as underpinning a number of behaviors considered important for project management however, few studies have conducted to date examining whether training can improve EI. Insufficient empirical and theoretical attention has given to the influence of EI in determining performance and the mechanisms underlying this relationship among project team members in construction projects. This research explores the association between EI and construction project manager skills in the context of construction projects. To test the model, we collected data from 119-project manager in a construction project. The empirical results demonstrate that EI positively linked to construction manager skills. This paper concludes with a discussion of the research and practical implications of the study's findings, and suggestions for future research directions.
