This study aimed to investigate relationship between the mentioned variables. This study is an applied in purpose, survey in design and field study in terms of data collection procedure.
To conduct this study, shad’s emotional intelligence inventory was distributed among 32 commanders and 507 cadets selected based on stratified random sampling. The data was analyzed through SPSS thereby Pearson product correlational analysis and linear regression analysis were run. The findings revealed positive correction among the variables (r=0.58, r=0.31, and r=0.35) indicating significant at p<0.5. Meanwhile, positive and significant correlation was explored between the evaluation parameters and emotional expression as well as between the regulation and management of emotion and tolerance of stress, self-esteem and accountability.
On the contrary, no significant correlation was revealed between exploiting emotion and the three other variables. The squared correlation rate (R2adj) for tolerance of stress, self-esteem, and accountability were 0.096, 0.071 and 0.32, respectively. It means that emotional intelligence parameters (i.e. evaluation, emotion expression, regulation and management of emotion and emotion exploitation) explain %10, %7 and %32 of the total variance of the dependent variables. The findings also showed positive relationship between EI of the company commanders with their cadet’s tolerance of stress and self-esteem (r=0.054 and r=0.008) respectively. However, the relationship between the commanders’ EI and the cadets’ accountability was negative (r=0.057), though non-significant statistically.
