Relación de la Inteligencia Emocional en el Clima Organizacional del personal administrativo y docente de la escuela de educación básica Isabel “La Católica” en la ciudad de Machala

Abstract

The present research proposes the study of emotional intelligence and the organizational climate with the objective of analyzing their correlation according to the perception of the collaborators of the Isabel “La Católica” Machala School of Basic Education. In this context, through a quantitative approach of descriptive and correlational scope, a survey was applied to the 74 members that make up the educational institution. The questionnaire used as a collection instrument included dimensions of both the emotional intelligence variable and the organizational climate. Within emotional intelligence, the competencies of adaptability, self-control, self-motivation, well-being, emotionality and sociability were studied. Likewise, within the organizational climate, the communication of objectives and policies, cooperation in problem solving, leadership, decision making, interpersonal relationships and control of the collaborator's work were addressed. The results show low percentages of presence of emotional intelligence competencies in all dimensions. Regarding the organizational climate, low percentages of agreement are also observed in aspects such as cooperation, leadership, interpersonal relationships and decision making. The study also showed a direct correlation between both variables with a Spearman Rho of 0.138. It is concluded that the presence of emotional intelligence is low in an institution that also presents weaknesses in its organizational climate. Additionally, the impact that the emotional intelligence of the study subjects has on improving the organizational climate of the educational institution is weak.
