Emotional Intelligence as Mediator Between Culture and Transformational Leadership in Jamaican Female Managers
Abstract
While women continue to make progress in terms of graduate-level education, inconsistencies remain between women and men when it comes to opportunities for professional growth and development into executive leadership positions and playing a role in the boardroom. Guided by the theories of emotional intelligence (EI), transformational leadership (TL), and Hofstede’s cultural values, the purpose of this quantitative mediation analysis was to determine the mediating effect of EI on the relationship between cultural values and TL in Jamaican female managers. Cultural values uncertainty subscale scores had statistically significant direct effects on TL. The results could influence the development and implementation of suitable training interventions.
