Abstract
\Purpose: This quantitative study was conducted for the purpose of determining the relationship between emotional intelligence and self-efficacy in military leaders.
Methodology: This quantitative, correlational study measured emotional intelligence and self-efficacy in military leaders to determine the relationship between them. The study involved differentiating between non-commissioned officers and commissioned officers in order to determine if a difference exists between the types of leaders in the military.
Findings: The findings from this research illustrate that there is a relationship between the leaders’ emotional intelligence and self-efficacy.
Conclusions: The study supported the hypothesis that the higher a leader’s emotional intelligence, the higher the leader’s self-efficacy.
Recommendations: Further research is recommended to increase generalizability to the entire U.S. Armed Forces.
