Thesis Statement: “What impact does a manager’s or supervisor’s level of emotional intelligence have on their organizational climate?”
Through the first month of the class, the chapter that the two of us found the most intriguing was chapter 4 on emotional intelligence. We were particularly interested in how big of an effect a manager’s emotional intelligence level has on the employees and the culture. Once deciding on our topic we began to look for sources that would help us find the answer to our question.
For finding our necessary research for this project we plan on using many different resources. Most of our research will be found using the MacEwan library database. The “Business Sources Complete” and “Canadian Business and Current Affairs” databases from the business and management section will be our many areas to search in. We also plan on going to the MacEwan and public libraries and look for books that will help us find the information we need. The following are the current resources that we have found so far.
