Emotional Intelligence and Organizational Commitment among Organic and Non-Organic Employees: Basis for Human Resource Career Management Program

Abstract

The researcher seeks to determine the level of emotional intelligence and organizational commitment among 100 respondents composed of organic and non-organic employees. The study adopted a descriptive correlational research design and data were gathered through the use of two standardized tests. To analyze the data, Independent T-test and Mann-Whitney U analysis were employed. Results show that the level of emotional intelligence among the respondents is low, with intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligence indicating low levels, while other factors of emotional intelligence remain at the average. On the other hand, the level of assessment of the respondents’ organizational commitment is below average, with affective commitment obtaining low level of assessment, while the remaining two components scored below average. There is no difference on the levels of emotional intelligence when grouped according to status of employment, this shows that there is no difference between organic and non-organic employees. On the other hand, the test of difference on the level of organizational commitment when grouped according to status of employment shows that there is a difference in the affective commitment of the two groups. Based on the results of the study, a human resource career management plan was crafted to improve the factors and components where the respondents’ scored low or below average. The study recommends future researchers to review and develop career management plans by companies, and that they should be implemented. Similar studies may be conducted utilizing other organizational outcome predictors or a different sample group.
