Impact of Work Performance on Emotional Intelligence, Personality Traits among Employees

Abstract

The present study aimed to explore the impact of work performance on emotional intelligence and personality traits among employees. Using a quantitative research design, data was collected from 101 working professionals through a structured Google Form questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, regression analysis, and Pearson correlation were employed to analyze the data. The findings revealed no statistically significant impact of work performance on either emotional intelligence or personality traits. Additionally, correlation analysis indicated a weak and non-significant relationship among the variables. These results contrast with existing literature that often highlights strong associations between work performance and psychological factors such as emotional intelligence and personality. The study contributes to the growing discourse in organizational psychology by emphasizing the need for more comprehensive, longitudinal, and multi-variable research approaches. It also provides practical implications for organizational development and employee support programs, despite its limitations, including a small sample size and reliance on self-reported data.
