Abstract:
The aim of this thesis was to evaluate a programme to develop emotional intelligence in
work teams. The thesis is presented in two studies. Study 1 describes the design,
application and evaluation of a training programme and its effects on emotional
intelligence in teams. The fundamental research question addressed was whether EI
could be increased through training. Prior to answering this question, it became
necessary to define emotional intelligence and select a model of emotional intelligence
on which to base the design of the training intervention. Equally essential was the
necessity to select an appropriate measure of EI that would reflect the complexity of EI
within a workgroup. Study 2 investigated changes in the team process variables of
communication, trust, decision making process quality, psychological safety and team
development in participants over the same 12-week period.
