EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE APPLIED TO GLOBAL SALES CHANNELS

ABSTRACT

This article contributes to the existing body of literature on emotional intelligence by applying current theoretical frameworks within the construct of global sales channels to assess the effect of emotional intelligence on channel performance. Prior research has demonstrated that emotional intelligence is a key indicator of performance in managerial leadership roles. This research empirically studies the significance of the relationship between high levels of emotional intelligence and global sales channel performance. Results of the study show that a higher level of emotional intelligence correlates with a higher level of global sales channel performance.

ABSTRACT

Does a supportive organizational climate result in enhanced business performance? The purpose of this paper is to measure the degree of supportive management, as exemplified by senior management, and its impact upon business performance as measured by Return on Assets. Currently there is a void in the literature the conclusively addresses this mater from a financially measured perspective. Community banks were chosen for this study as there is audited quantified data available, via financial reports filed with the various banking regulatory authorities, which provides a verifiable quantitative measure of business performance.
