Abstract:
The study examined the relationship between emotional intelligence and employee engagement among the faculty members in performing their tasks and became the basis in proposing an innovative enhancement program for employee engagement. Emotional intelligence is the awareness on how a person balance his emotion and maximize his happiness by knowing what makes he feels good and bad. While employee engagement is characterized by a person’s energy, involvement and efficacy. Descriptive design was utilized to cast light on the present situation on emotional intelligence and employee engagement. The respondents were the 305 full time and part-time faculty in one university. Questionnaire was the data gathering instrument utilized in the study and Frequency, percentage, weighted mean, ranking and Spearman rho were the statistical tools used. Results showed that the faculty members revealed strong agreement on their emotional intelligence. Among the indicators, self-emotion appraisal and use of emotion respectively indicated a strongly agreement while they agreed in terms of other emotion’s appraisal and regulation of emotion. The respondents showed agreement on their employee engagement. Among the indicators of employee engagement, it is the dedication which the respondents strongly demonstrated while vigor and absorption were equally displayed by the respondents. There is a strong direct correlation between emotional intelligence and employee engagement which means that employee engagement was affected by the emotional intelligence. It implies that the better the emotional intelligence of the respondents, the more that they are engaged to work. A faculty enhancement program on employee engagement was proposed.
