The Emotional Intelligence of Leaders as Antecedent to Leader-Member Exchanges: A Field Study
Barbuto, John E., Jr.; Bugenhagen, Marilyn J.
Journal of Leadership Education, v8 n2 p135-146 Fall 2009
Eighty elected leaders and 388 followers were sampled to test the relationships between leaders' emotional intelligence and the quality of leader-member exchange. Results of the field study found a significant relationship between leaders' emotional intelligence (total) and leader-member exchange quality. Specific subscales of emotional intelligence were also predictive of leader-member exchange theory. Leaders' empathetic response and interpersonal skills each correlated with leader-member exchange. Implications and directions for research are discussed.
