Abstract
Despite the growing literature advocating the significance and importance of emotional intelligence, empirical studies on the topic about Pakistani university librarians are unavailable. Drawing upon this gap, the article reports the findings of a study investigating emotional intelligence and organizational commitment among Pakistani university librarians. It used survey research method involving 225 randomly selected librarians from a population of 670 university librarians in Pakistan. The survey response rate was 82%. The results suggest that three dimensions of emotional intelligence, namely self-assessment, optimism and service orientation significantly predict organizational commitment. However, teamwork and collaboration, despite being correlated significantly with organizational commitment, was not a predictor of organizational commitment among Pakistani university librarians. The findings showed the importance and contributions of emotional intelligence towards organizational commitment.
