With the emergent development of globalization of the business world, organizations must adopt various sorts of strategies and additional procedures in comprehensive and pioneering way in order to achieve well-organized and effective work. Employees are the back bone of any organization and to make them work effectively, many strategies are being followed. Though, employees’ performance and effectiveness in the workplace depends on a number of factors such as financial support, educational background, job position and attitude etc. But, now leaders have also started giving consideration to Emotional Intelligence (EI) as one of the key element in organization’s success. EI is one of must-have skills and capabilities which are required by leaders and followers at workplace to encounter the environment changes and do as possible as they could to gain the organization commitments that could lead to organization’s success. Previous research exhibited that EI is also one of the important factor in  organizational  commitment  and  there  is  a  strong  relationship  between  emotional intelligence and job satisfaction and Employee performance with leads to organizational commitment. Hence, the higher employees’ EI scores, higher will be employee performance and his commitment towards organization. Employees with high developed Emotional Intelligence (EI) are proven to be more successful at workplace, because of the understanding of their emotions and why they behave in a particular situation in that way.


 


In  this  study  effect  of  emotional  intelligence  (EI)  on  employee  performance  in  an organization has been investigated and the gap in the existing literature of Emotional intelligence has been identified. Assessing the reviews and analyses presented in this paper, it is expected that this review can be further referred in the new studies for the understanding of effect of emotional intelligence on organizational commitment. This study may also bebeneficial for managers/ leaders to recognize diverse factors which influence the performance of employee.
