performance of subordinates. Leaders with a high emotional intelligence level can inoculate their employees anote of enthusiasm, excitement and optimism, and an atmosphere of cooperation, through which they maysubsequently develop positive interpersonal relationships with them; positive interpersonal relations betweenleadership and employees can bring many benefits to the organisation, such as for example, increasedprofessional performance.When leaders understand and are able to influence the emotions of subordinates, they will be able to makethem reassess the emotions they experience and the way they can express and manifest them. In general,emotional intelligence includes those skills or abilities related to the emotions which underpin the ability of aleader to make major changes in the organisation. Some people have difficulty in determining the affectivestates of others. Others have difficulty in responding to the feelings of others. Both types of people will nothowever be able to impose major changes in an organisation. On the other hand, individuals who can assess thefeelings of others and can respond to these feelings in an adaptive manner are more able to overcome resistanceto change and to transform the organisation in different ways.With regard to the relationship between emotional intelligence and professional satisfaction, one of thepossible explanations for the failure to obtain a significant positive correlation between these two variables,both in leaders and subordinates and in the leaders-subordinate relationship, is that professional satisfactionmay be influenced by the expectations of the individual and by the actual results of work, as well as by thepersonality of the employee who is prone to be more or less satisfied, factors that are not mediated by ownemotional intelligence, or the leader’s in the case of subordinates. The other explanation would be that peoplewith high scores of emotional intelligence have skills that lead to success in various spheres of life, both atwork and in private life, without them giving special priority to work or motivation.Multilinear regression analysis revealed that emotional intelligence and theoretical knowledge best help usin predicting professional performance, both of leaders and subordinates, the emotional intelligence variabletogether with the theoretical knowledge variable justifying by 74% the variance of professional success ofleaders and by 57% the one of the subordinates. The emotional knowledge and theoretical knowledge levelmust therefore be assessed in a situation of professional selection, the scores obtained for the two variablesbeing the selection criteria, and their weight being determined according to the characteristics of the position inquestion. For positions which require high emotional skills, the weight of the results obtained on the scale ofemotional intelligence must be higher than for the positions which do not require such abilities.Regarding other significant correlations obtained by statistical processing of data, both in leaders andsubordinates, namely the negative correlation between age and education, satisfaction and education,professional performance and age and the positive correlations between the level of theoretical knowledge andeducation, professional performance and education, highlight the fact that the organisation where the study wasconducted employs young people with high professional training acquired through education, but who cannotexploit their potential because of old practices maintained by older employees who are not interested toimprove their theoretical knowledge by training – self training and lifelong learning, which may have negativeimpacts on short and medium term such as: inadaptability to the requirements of the ever-changing market, tothe methods and techniques used in the technological process, it decreases the degree of autonomy of olderemployees because of the old mentalities where everything was mapped by the hierarchical superior, thusreducing the efficiency of the works in terms of execution time.In order to achieve a significant positive correlation between professional performance and professionalsatisfaction of the employees in the future, it is necessary to develop an effective management system ofrewards which results in increasing productivity and the quality of the services provided to the customers andin reducing conflicts and disagreements due to wages. It would be interesting to study in the future the
evolution of professional performance and professional satisfaction in this organisation after the
implementation of a programme to develop emotional intelligence for both leaders and subordinates.
