Abstract:

Historically speaking the term emotional intelligence was introduces in 1990 by two American University Professor Dr. John Mayer and Peter Solovey in their attempt to develop in people’s ability in the four area of emotions. However the credit of popularizing the concept of emotional intelligence goes to another American Psychologist Daniel Goleman (1995). Let us now consider the views and definitions of the term emotional intelligence given by eminent psychologists and researchers in the field of emotional intelligence to know the meaning of emotional intelligence clearly- The most acceptable and scientific explanations of the term emotional intelligence is given by Mayer and Peter Solovey (1995) “Emotional Intelligence may be defined as the capacity to reason with emotion in four areas to perceive emotions, to integrate it in thought, to understand it and to manage it”. Emotional Intelligence links strongly with concept of love and spirituality: bringing compassion and humanity to work and also to „Multiple intelligence‟ theory which illustrates and measures the range of capabilities people possess, and the fact that everybody has a value. 5
