Abstract:

This diploma thesis focuses on the concept of emotional intelligence. It specifically deals with the influence of emotional skills on work and academic performance.

This thesis consists of two parts – theoretical and practical. The theoretical part introduces the different theories on intelligence, emotions and emotional intelligence. It also presents what should be the skills needed for a manager today. The practical part consists in interviewing students in management in order to find out their level of emotional quotient, their academic success and the role of their university in acquiring these skills.
