Title: A SYNTHETIC REVIEW ON EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION
Abstract: This Article introduces the topic of emotional intelligence and its relationship with work place
and higher education. Generally speaking, emotional intelligence improves an individual's social
effectiveness. Emotional intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to perceive, control, and evaluate
emotions. Some researchers suggest that emotional intelligence can be learned and
strengthened, while other claim it is an inborn characteristic. Emotional intelligence was found
to be positively associated with work experience. The five dimensions are self-monitoring, self-
regulation, self-motivation, empathy, and social skills. Emotional intelligence plays an important
role in ensuring success in the workplace and it should be nurtured and practiced by all parties
in facing the challenges of globalization and competitive business.
In the proposed research paper, 12 studies have been reviewed, on the theme of Emotional
Intelligence in Higher Education. Towards the end, a synthesis of reviewed work has also been
attempted.
