In recent past the investigations on connection between leadership and emotional intelligence
have become significant and one of the most attentive subject in any organization and
management research. However, very few studies have addressed the role of personality traits
in the relationship between emotional intelligence and leadership effectiveness. This study
therefore, was designed to examine the interceding impact of personality traits between the
relationship of emotional intelligence and leadership effectiveness among managers. The
study was carried out with a sample of 260 male executive heads and managers of different
organizations in Multan. Their age range was between 32 and 60 years. All the participants
provided data on three questionnaires; Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire, Ten Item
Personality Inventory, and Leadership Effectiveness Scale along with a demographic variable
sheet. Results indicated that the emotional intelligence significantly predicted the leadership
effectiveness. Emotional intelligence was found significantly correlated with personality traits
of emotional stability and extraversion. Results pertaining to personality traits indicated that
emotional stability and extraversion personality traits were further positively correlated with
effective leadership. Findings suggested that personality traits of emotional stability and
extraversion played mediating roles between the relationship of emotional intelligence and
leadership effectiveness among heads and managers. The study findings have the implications
for the organizations while assigning the task of leadership to the new recruitments by keeping
their level of emotional intelligence and personality traits for effective leadership. Limitations
and future recommendations are also discussed.
