Resumo: | This study aims to analyze the relationship between emotional intelligence, including its dimensions, and transformational leadership in Portuguese companies from the technology sector. In this sense, we reviewed the literature on emotional intelligence, transformational leadership and the linkage between themes. An empirical study was conducted using an online questionnaire to adopt a quantitative methodological approach. 180 responses were obtained from executive directors of companies in the mentioned sector. Data analysis was performed using the structural equation model (SEM). The results demonstrated a positive and significant relationship between three of emotional intelligence dimensions’ and transformational leadership, more specifically, between self-emotion appraisal (SEA), other’s emotion appraisal (OEA) and the use of emotions (UA), and between transformational leadership. However, the relationship between emotion regulation (ER) and transformational leadership was not supported. This study differs from the others as it seeks to establish relationships between emotional intelligence dimensions’ and transformational leadership rather than treating the emotional intelligence’s construct as a whole. Therefore, considering the scarce literature relating to the mentioned constructs fills the literature’s lack. Its applicability in the Portuguese technological sector is also an innovative factor. |

Neste sentido, procedeu-se à revisão de literatura existente dedicada a estes construtos e à realização de um estudo empírico com a adoção de uma abordagem metodológica quantitativa, com recurso à aplicação de um questionário online. Obteve-se 180 respostas de diretores executivos de empresas do referido setor. A análise dos dados foi realizada através do modelo de equações estruturais (SEM). Os resultados obtidos demonstraram a existência de uma relação positiva e significativa entre inteligência emocional e liderança transformacional, mais especificamente, entre autoavaliação das emoções, avaliação das emoções dos outros e uso de emoções e entre liderança transformacional. Porém, não foi possível comprovar a relação entre regulação de emoções e a liderança transformacional. Este estudo diferencia-se dos demais por procurar estabelecer relações diretas entre as dimensões da inteligência emocional e a liderança transformacional em vez de tratar o conceito em bloco. A sua aplicabilidade no setor tecnológico português também é um fator de diferenciação pela falta de literatura no referido setor. O estudo diferencia-se de forma geral pela pouca literatura existente relacionando os constructos.Rua, Orlando Manuel Martins Marques de LimaRepositório Científico do Instituto Politécnico do PortoMoreira, Joana Filipa Amorim2023-02-02T10:56:50Z2022-07-042022-07-04T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.22/22104TID:203205804enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-03-13T13:18:42Zoai:recipp.ipp.pt:10400.22/22104Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:42:11.141834Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
