Abstract(s)
A inteligência emocional tem ganho cada vez mais popularidade junto dos académicos
principalmente no sector empresarial, e vários investigadores defendem a ligação entre o conceito
de inteligência emocional com o de liderança.
Após um intenso trabalho de pesquisa verificou-se que a inteligência emocional não tinha sido alvo
de atenção por parte dos investigadores no campo do não lucrativo. Este estudo tem como principal
objetivo identificar os níveis de inteligência emocional e os estilos de liderança
predominantemente adotados pelos líderes das Organizações Não Lucrativas, comparar os níveis
de inteligência emocional de líderes remunerados versus não remunerados, e verificar se existe
uma relação entre o nível de inteligência emocional e o estilo de liderança mais utilizado no
panorama não lucrativo.
Aplicaram-se dois questionários a uma amostra de 96 líderes de várias Organizações não lucrativas
em Portugal. Estes indivíduos responderam ao instrumento de medição de inteligência emocional
WLEIS de Wong e Law (adaptado) e ao instrumento sobre os diferentes estilos de liderança
Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire de Bass e Avolio (adaptado). A amostra obteve uma média
global de inteligência emocional de 76.04 em 96 pontos possíveis e uma média de 2.430 em 4
pontos possíveis na liderança Global. Verificou a dependência de inteligência emocional e do estilo
de liderança escolhido de acordo com o género do líder, a sua faixa etária, antiguidade na
organização não lucrativa, habilitações e cargo do líder (remunerado versus não remunerado).
Também se verificou qual o estilo de liderança mais comumente e se havia relação entre os níveis
de inteligência emocional e a liderança transformacional. A partir de testes estatísticos, concluiuse que o nível de inteligência emocional depende significativamente do género do líder, que
apresentava valores superiores para o género feminino e do cargo do líder, com valores superiores
para os líderes não remunerados. O estilo de liderança predominante nas organizações não
lucrativas estudadas foi a liderança transformacional, mas não foi encontrada uma relação com a
inteligência emocional.
Emotional intelligence has gained increasing popularity among academics especially in the business sector and several researchers have supported the link between the concept of emotional intelligence and leadership. After some research it was found that emotional intelligence had not received attention from researchers in the non-profit field. This study aims to identify the levels of emotional intelligence and leadership styles predominantly adopted by non-profit leaders, to compare the emotional intelligence levels of paid versus unpaid leaders, and to verify whether there is a relationship between the level of emotional intelligence and the most used leadership style in the non-profit landscape. Two questionnaires were applied to a sample of 96 leaders from various non-profit organizations in Portugal. These individuals responded to the Wong and Law's WLEIS Emotional Intelligence (adapted) and to the Bass and Avolio Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (adapted). The sample obtained an overall emotional intelligence average of 76.04 out of 96 possible points and an average of 2.430 out of 4 possible points in global leadership. It was verified the dependence between emotional intelligence and the most chosen leadership style according to the leader's gender, age group, seniority in the non-profit organization, qualifications and leader type (paid vs. unpaid). It was also checked which leadership style was most commonly found and if there was a relationship between the levels of emotional intelligence and the levels of transformational leadership. From statistical tests, it was concluded that the level of emotional intelligence was significantly dependent on the leader's gender, which had higher values for the female gender and on the type of leader, with higher values for the unpaid leaders. The predominant leadership style in the non-profit organizations studied was the transformational leadership but no relationship was found between transformational leadership and emotional intelligence.
