Abstract :
The aim of the current paper is to investigate the correlation between emotional intelligence and organizational social capital among Shiraz University's employees and is conducted using descriptive-correlative method. The statistical population consists of 610 individuals of Shiraz University. The research sample includes 140 subjects randomly chosen using Levy and Lamshaw's formula. The tools used include Shring (1992)'s emotional intelligence questionnaire as well as a researcher made questionnaire of organizational social capital. The reliability of the tools was 0.86 and 0.97 respectively. Pearson's coefficient correlation, variance analysis, stepwise regression, and t test were used for data analysis. The results indicate that there is a positive and significant relationship between emotional intelligence and its aspects and organizational social capital. The results of regression also show that only self-consciousness can predict organizational social capital among the employees. The t test results, finally, reveal that there is no significant disparity between men and women in terms of emotional intelligence.
