Crafting success: How Cognitive Styles Moderate Emotional Intelligence for Project Outcomes

Abstract

This study uses cognitive style as a moderator to investigate the correlation between emotional intelligence and project success in the telecommunications industry. A quantitative study design employed convenient sampling to examine the role of emotional intelligence. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to 150 managers participating in PTCL projects in the twin cities of Pakistan. The characteristics related to the questions were scrutinized and evaluated using Likert scales. The results confirmed the hypothesis and showed that emotional intelligence has a favorable and significant impact on project success, mediated by cognitive styles. The study enhances our comprehension of emotional intelligence from both a theoretical and practical standpoint. Additionally, the literature review acknowledges the study's limitations and suggests potential future directions.
