Abstract
The contemporary globalized business environment is increasingly relying on the employment of cross-cultural teams to achieve the strategic objectives of business organizations, yet the managing teams, in turn, pose a significant challenge in terms of addressing the issue of cross-cultural cultures and communication barriers, not mentioning the disparity in the work values. Emotional intelligence or EI, as the ability to observe, be aware of, and manage oneself and other people, has proven to be a significant skill as far as effective leadership is concerned. This paper will discuss the application of EI in management of cross culture teams, the impacts of EI on communication, conflict management, building trust and determining the overall performance of a team. Employing a mixed-methods analysis, which presupposes the quantitative survey and qualitative interviews of managers and team members of multinational organizations, the analysis identifies some EI skills, such as empathy, emotional control, social awareness, and adaptability, positively related to the efficient cross-cultural teamwork. The results reveal that it is not hard to cope with cultural diversity when the EI managers are high, and they instill the sense of psychological safety and conflict resolutions in a positive way that is more likely to enhance the team cohesiveness and team productivity. Moreover, the mediation activities of the cultural intelligences and the organizational support systems are also disclosed throughout the course of the research, which implies that EI by itself cannot be effective but instead it should be complemented with the knowledge of the cultural norms and the institutional frameworks. The study also adds to the literature in that it gives empirical results to the relationship between EI and cross-cultural team effectiveness and the study also gives practical suggestions of how the building of emotionally intelligent leadership in organizations could be done. The proposed ways to use EI include special training of EI, systematic feedback systems, and the ways the EI can be included in the policies of the performance appraisal system and the development of leadership. This study is an eye-opener on the role of EI in that it demonstrates that EI can encourage interpersonal cognition and adaptive leadership in any form of organizational setting to facilitate sustainable team performance in a multicultural environment.
