Abstract

The study investigated the relationship between demographic variables and emotional intelligence among workers. The participants were two hundred and fifteen workers randomly drawn from selected organisations in Oyo State. They are made up of one hundred and fourteen males and one hundred and one females. The study adopted correlational research design, multiple regression analysis, Pearson product moment correlation and Utest statistics were used to analyse research questions and hypothesis raised in the study. The results show that gender and working experience have significant predictive effects on emotional intelligence. There was also significant difference in the emotional intelligence mean scores of male and female. The direction of difference was in favour of female. On the basis of the findings, it was recommended that organisational socialisation programme which encompass aspects of emotional intelligence should be mounted for new employees to compensate for inadequate experience and inexperience.
