Abstract

The purpose of this study is to show the prevalence of emotionally intelligent leadership (EIL) that exists among student affairs professionals. The study evaluates the scores among student affairs professionals on the Emotionally Intelligent Leadership for Employees: Inventory (EILE-I) by utilizing information such as educational background, level of experience, gender, and racial identity.

The survey instrument, the Emotionally Intelligent Leadership for Employees Inventory, was designed and administered to 1068 student affairs professionals. Statistical tests from the responses included descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, and analysis of variance. Results showed that student affairs professionals scored an average of “Somewhat High” or higher in emotionally intelligent leadership among all three consciousnesses, which include self, other, and context. Furthermore, statistical significance was found in the areas of years of service and racial identity. Additionally, an interaction effect was found between Latinx men and Latinx women. A number of recommendations for future studies and applications are also shared.
