Though traditionally the intelligence quotient (IQ) had been used as a predictor of academic success, recent studies have highlighted that students with higher emotional quotient (EQ) are more successful both academically and professionally. Given that the contemporary work systems involve huge emotional labour and customer intimacy, employers have now started preferring students with high emotional quotient; as the job market is already full of academically competent candidates. The current study is divided into two parts, the first part reviews and analyzes important researchers; in order to identify an integrative framework of the most important emotional intelligence competencies among students. The second part attests this framework with the help of statistical analysis of a sample of college students. The results of the study provide a list of factors that can be adopted as a part of the academic curriculum for the development of emotional intelligence among MBA students.

Purpose: This study assesses the Catholic University of Eastern Africa University (CUEA) Graduate Business School MBA contribution to developing and enhancing Emotional Intelligence skills among its MBA students.Methodology: Data was collected using various instruments: A survey with structured questionnaires administered to a target population of 40 second-year MBA students; in-depth interviews with 8 second-year MBA students, and 8 CUEA MBA lecturers; and a review of CUEA curriculum in relation to a benchmark of 10 MBA Programs in the best Business Schools of international and regional universities. A concurrent mixed method was used to achieve information with construct validity and chain of evidence from the multiple sources of data. The analysis technique was explanation based on the qualitative data, and some descriptive analysis was carried out for the quantitative data.Results: The findings show that the CUEA MBA program does not have EI (emotional intelligence) as one of its core skills development, while most of the best Business Schools do. CUEA MBA Program does not have specific EI objectives, and as a result, its lecturers have never focused on it and the students’ EI awareness, knowledge, and skills are low.Contribution to policy and practice: The study recommends that CUEA MBA program needs to be incorporated with EI skills development and make it a primary skill to be developed to the students irrespective of their area of specialization. The study further recommends that EI skills should be developed not only at the MBA level but also among undergraduate students, as suggested by some of the lecturers who participated in this study.

Over the past two decades an escalating interest in the construct of emotional intelligence (EI) has made its way into the popular press, professional press, and peer reviewed journals.Not surprisingly, an interest in EI is also gaining ground in academic settings (Parker, Duffy, Wood, Bond & Hogan, 2002; Parker, Hogan, Eastabrook, Oke & Wood, 2006; Parker, Saklofske, Wood & Eastabrook, 2005). Several major longitudinal studies have laid a sound theoretical foundation supporting the development of EI competencies as a component of the MBA curriculum (Boyatzis, Stubbs & Taylor, 2002; Boyatzis & Saatcioglu, 2008). This paper will describe why and how one MBA program took theory to practice and piloted the integration of content designed to develop competencies related to emotional intelligence into its curriculum.It will also review the results of an applied multi-year study that measured the results of the curriculum pilot.The study was conducted using one of the most widely used instruments for measuring emotional intelligence, the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory (Bar-On, 1997), to identify significant changes between the beginning and the end of the program in the aggregate measures of emotional intelligence competencies.

Research Question: How does Emotional Intelligence influence auditor performance? Motivation: Emotional Intelligence has been researched as one of the critical factors that are linked to superior work performance. However, this research is still in its infancy with respect to auditors despite the fact that the auditing profession would benefit greatly from improving the work performance of its professionals. In this paper, we address this issue and lay the foundation for a future paper that would analyze the impact of increasing the emotional intelligence of auditors on their task performance. We hypothesized that emotional intelligence is positively related to auditor performance. Data: Undergraduate accounting and MBA students were selected to participate in this study. Sixty-nine participants completed the Emotional Intelligence inventory provided by Genos International, Australia and performed a simple audit activity designed by the authors for this study. Multiple regressions were utilized to analyze the data. Findings: The hypothesis was not supported, and the paper addresses this result as well as provides guidance to future researchers in this significant area. Contribution: Because of the challenges associated with this type of experiment as well as the lack of existing research in the area, this paper uses student subjects to provide initial feedback on the effectiveness of the instrument. The results will help guide future research and, as an added benefit, preserves the subject pool of practicing auditors.
