| Abstract: | This research aims to provide additional and new insights on the relationship between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and team performance. The mediating roles of leadership and meeting effectiveness are used to asses in the emotional intelligence-team performance relation. The conducted research has both practical and academic relevance; it uses the EI codebook of van Gorp (2018) which was further tested on real-life traditional teams. This thesis tries to answer the research question: “What is the influence of the behavior of Emotional Intelligence of individual team leaders on the performance of their team?”. In total, 16 leaders are measured analyzed over 1545 minutes of team meeting recordings. Meetings are recorded with cameras and different EI behaviors are coded with the use of “The Observer XT” and the EI behavioral codebook. Two of the four EI behavioral categories, ‘Expressing emotions’ and ‘Regulating emotions’, influence the leader effectiveness a lot more than the other two, ‘Utilizing emotions’ and ‘Understanding emotions’. Leadership effectiveness was positively, statistically significant related to team effectiveness, with meeting effectiveness being a positively mediator of this relationship. |
