of employee in Vagus technologies Pvt Ltd, Trichy.
The primary data was collected through a structured questionnaire and the mode of
communication was personal interview. The respondents were directly interviewed and the
data were collected.

CHAPTER - I
Introduction
In present scenario, cut throat competition, stretched goals, cultural differences among the
diverse workforce and imbalanced work life have lead to increasing level of stress in
employees, also increase the job dissatisfaction. This satisfaction adversely affects the
performance of employees and becomes an undesirable and paramount the organization
problem. Hence the scientific researchers shown that the emotional intelligent person is more
adaptive to the environment and more productive for the organization. Therefore, tools stress
due to the job dissatisfaction can prove to be important for making the employees more
efficient and effective. Research also reveals that emotional quotient contributes 80% in the
success of the person as compared to the 20% contribution of the intelligence quotient (IQ)
only.
Therefore, EQ is undoubtedly a very important dimension of a persons personality.
Researchers also suggest the emotional intelligence oriented interventions can be successful
tools for making employees more job satisfied and stress less.
By developing our emotional intelligence we can become more productive and successful at
what we do, and help others to be more productive and successful too. The process and
outcomes of emotional intelligence development also contains many elements known to
reduce stress for individuals and organizations, by decreasing conflicts, improving
relationship and understandings and increasing stability, continuity and harmony which leads
to the job satisfaction.
Emotional Intelligence
To understand the concept of emotional intelligence, it would be useful to have an idea of
what emotions are. The word emotion comes from the latin word motere which means to

move this donates that all emotions induce desire to act the oxford English dictionary defines
emotions as, any agitation or distribution of mind, feelings, passion.
Emotional Intelligence is the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others,
motivating ourselves, and managing emotions well, in ourselves and in our relationships. We
can identify that emotional intelligence has two major components:
1. Personal competence
2. Social competence
Personal competence includes awareness of self, i.e understanding one own emotions,
feelings etc and management of the self, i.e the ability to deal with changing situations. Social
competence means social awareness and management of relationships. Social awareness is
the ability to understand the feelings of others while management of relationships is the
ability to work effectively with others.
Emotional intelligence is a master aptitude, a capacity that profoundly affects all other
abilities, either facilitating or interfering with them. Daniel Goleman

The seven elements of emotional intelligence


Self-awareness
The awareness of one's own feelings and the ability to recognise and manage these feelings in
a way which one feels that one can control. This factor includes a degree of self-belief in
one's ability to manage one's emotions and to control their impact in a work environment.

Emotional resilience
The ability to perform consistently in a range of situations under pressure and to adapt
behaviour appropriately. The ability to balance the needs of the situation and task with the
needs and concerns of the individuals involved. The ability to retain focus on a course of
action or need for results in the face of personal challenge or criticism.

Motivation

The drive and energy to achieve clear results and make an impact and, also, to balance shortand long-term goals with an ability to pursue demanding goals in the face of rejection or
questioning.
Interpersonal sensitivity
The ability to be aware of, and take account of, the needs and perceptions of others in
arriving at decisions and proposing solutions to problems and challenges. The ability to build
from this awareness and achieve the commitment of others to decisions and action ideas. The
willingness to keep open one's thoughts on possible solutions to problems and actively listen
to, and reflect on, the reactions and inputs from others.

Influence
The ability to persuade others to change a viewpoint based on the understanding of their
position and the recognition of the need to listen to this perspective and provide a rationale
for change.

Intuitiveness
The ability to arrive at clear decisions and drive their implementation when presented with
incomplete or ambiguous information using both rational and 'emotional' or intuitive
perceptions of key issues and implications.

Conscientiousness
The ability to display clear commitment to a course of action in the face of challenge and to
match 'words and deeds' in encouraging others to support the chosen direction.
The personal commitment to pursuing an ethical solution to a difficult business issue or
problem.

Analyzing the impact of emotional intelligence in the work place


Emotions are all-pervasive in an organisation. These emotions can be either positive or
negative. Both these types of emotions will have an effect on behaviour of employees and
this in turn will affect the total organisational culture.

Negative emotions in work place


Many organizational problems such as absenteeism, high employee turnover, decreased
productivity, etc, can have their roots in the negative emotions to which authorities have not
paid attention. Some of the indicators for the existence of negative emotions at the workplace
are the following.
Poor working condition
Lack of job security
Lack of team effort
Poor career prospects
Employees who are not suited for the job
Very high or low levels of stress

Positive emotions in workplace


Positive emotions in the workplace are those which help in achievements of organizational
goals. They can lead to high morale, improved performance and better job satisfaction.
People who have positive emotions can think better and do their work more effectively.

Use of EI in HR applications
The importance of emotional competencies and their relation to performance lead
organization to develop and maintain emotional intelligence in their present employees
(Emmerling and Goleman, 2003 ). Therefore human resource departments use more
emotional competencies based applications. There are basically two ways to increase
emotional intelligence in an organization:
1. Hire people who are emotionally intelligent.
2. Develop emotional intelligence among current employees (Jacobs, 2003).

For both of the applications organizations need to determine competency models for every
position and job that describe the key competencies that are required for a certain job
(McLagan, 1980). These competency models can be either set for organisation itself or
determined for every occupation groups such as sales, marketing, HR.

Review of literature

CHAPTER II
Review of Literature
Goleman(1998) research demonstrates that emotional intelligence has proven to be twice
as important as any other competency in any job role. The tougher and more challenging role
the more emotional intelligence becomes the important factor in success. He found that 90%
of exceptional leaders results are attributed to their emotional intelligence and observed that
being successful is much more than just intelligence. IQ only accounts for about 4% to 20%
of results. It shows the critical factor for sustained achievement is not only a function of
ability or talent but 80% of achievement is dependent on emotional intelligence.

McClelland (1999) found that when senior managers had a critical mass of emotional
intelligence capabilities, their divisions outperformed yearly earning goals by 20%. Division
leaders without critical mass under performed by almost the same amount. He found that the
more positive the overall moods of people in the top management team, the more
cooperatively they worked together- and the better the companys business results.

Egon zehnder(2000) founds that emotional intelligence leads to success in top


executives. Those how were primarily strong in emotional intelligence were more likely to
succeed than those who were strongest in either relevant in previous experience or IQ.

George,J.M(2000) reported that in working with emotional intelligence, 80-90% of the


competencies that differentiate top performers are in the domain of emotional intelligence.

While IQ and other factors are important, its clear that emotional intelligence is essential to
optimal performance. Leaders excellence begins and ends with their inner resource:
executives who fails to develop their self- awareness risk falling into an emotionally
deadening routine that threatens their true selves.

McClelland (2000) reviewed 30 companies and found that higher EI scores differentiated
the top performers from average ones. Some of the companies reviewed by them are: In a
landmark study of one of the UKs largest restaurant groups, there was clear evidence that
emotionally intelligent leaders were more effective. Manager high in emotional intelligence
had restaurants that outperformed others with increased guest satisfaction, lower turnover,
and 34% grater profit growth. The link between EQ and leadership was also clear at Pepsi co.
In pilot project, executives selected for EQ competencies far outperformed their colleagues,
delivering, 10% increase in productivity, 87% decrease in executive turnover. In
organizations where leadership is most visible, the affect of the leaders plays a major role. It
could be seen clearly in the way some teams walk on tip toes when the boss is having a
bad day. Perhaps thats why their study showed the most effective leaders in the US Navy
use EQ behavioursthey are warmer, more outgoing, emotionally expressive, dramatic, and
sociable. A study conducted by him of 358 leader within Johnson and Johnson identified a
strong link between superior performing leaders and emotional competence. The conclusion
is powerful: emotional competence differentiates successful leaders.

HayGroup (2000) found that there is a great deal of research that links emotional
intelligence with individual performance and organizational productivity. Partners high in
emotional intelligence in a consulting firm delivered 139% more profit from their accounts
than other partners. Sales people trained in emotional intelligence competencies achieved a
sustained 87% improvement in sales and the training delivered in excess of 2000% return on
investment in the first year. Exceptional leaders attributed 90% of their success to their
emotional intelligence.

Eq Consortium(2000) A study of 80 Ph.Ds in science who underwent a battery


of personality tests, IQ tests, and interviews in the 1950s when they were graduates students
at Berkeley. Forty years later, when they were in their early seventies, they were tracked
down and estimates were made of their success based on resumes, evaluations by experts in
their own fields, and sources like American Men and Women of science. It turned out that
social and emotional abilities were four times important than IQ in establishing professional
success and prestige.

Benjamin Schneider (2001) found that whatever kind of organization you run, a
primary measure of success would be the way your customers perceive you. Your
organizations ability to attract and retain customers requires far more that customer
satisfaction. To create loyal customers, organizations must endeavour for customer delight.
Emotional intelligence is at the core of relationships, and a sales maxim is that relationships
are everything

David (2007) this investigates among 158 freshmen examined the association between
emotional intelligence and stress, considering personality as a moderating variable. Results
suggest that emotional intelligence is potentially helpful n reducing stress for some
individuals, but unnecessary or irrelevant for others. We highlight results among the highly
stressed intense but confused participants in particular because they have average emotional
intelligence, but do not appear to use it, presumably because they lack confidence in their
emotional ability.

Research Methodology
CHAPTER III
Research Methodology
The study is about the emotional intelligence that prevails in the
VAGUS TECHNOLOGIES Pvt Ltd, Trichy. The literature review strongly
supports the research which states the entire satisfaction of the employees
through the compensation provided, job nature, environment, superior
subordinate relationship, etc.
OBJECTIVES, NEED, SCOPE AND RESEARCH METHODOLY
3.1 Objective of the study
To find out the emotional intelligence level of the employees at Vagus technologies
pvt ltd.
To suggests measures to improve the emotional intelligence level of employees at
work place.

3.2 Need of the study


Vagus technologies are doing a lot of retrenchment these days and employees are suffering
from a slot of stress these days. Research says that emotional intelligence helps to reduce
stress by 66%. So by this study I will be able to find that whether there is any relation
between emotional intelligence and self management and if there exists a relation than how
company can use it to enhance the performance of employees.

3.3 Scope of the study


This proposed study is being limited to vagus technologies pvt ltd. This proposed will help to
find the impact of emotional intelligence on BPO employees.

3.4 Research methodology


Method is a way of doing something and methodology is a set of methods used in a particular
area of activity. The research methodology employed in the research is as given by Philip
Kotler.

Developing the problems and research objective


Developing the information sources
Collecting and analyzing the information
Presenting the information

3.5 Research problem


Emotional intelligence and self management among BPO employees at vagus technologies.
3.6 Research design
Research design is a series of advanced decisions that taken together comprise the master
plan or model for the conduct of an investigation. So research design provides a framework
of plan for study, which guides the collection, measurement, analysis and interpretation of the
data. The research carried out here is descriptive in nature. Descriptive research provides data
about the population or universe being studied. It can describe 5 Ws and 1 H i.e what, when,
why, who, where and how.
3.7 Sample design and size
The population of study is corporate office vagus technologies pvt ltd. And the sample size of
120 employees working in vagus technologies pvt ltd. This study is based on convenience
sampling for which areas are of limited to vagus technologies pvt ltd.
3.8 Method of data collection

The fourth step of research methodology is data collection. It can be done through primary or
secondary techniques. In this study both techniques are use to collect data.

To collect primary data a survey will be conducted on emotional intelligence


of employee through a questionnaire, which will be filled by the employees.
Various questions will be asked to gain maximum information from the

respondents.
For secondary data I have referred journals, magazines and internet.

3.9 Scaling techniques


Scaling techniques is used in this survey, for understanding the co-relation between emotional
intelligence and self management among bpo employees and the answers of the respondents
are elucidated by asking them to indicate their level of agreement on a given five point likert
scale with values ranging from 1(strongly agree) to 5(strongly disagree).
3.10 Hypotheses formation
In order to fulfil my first objective, following hypotheses is formed
H0: There is no correlation between emotional intelligence and self management among bpo
employees.
H1: T here is a correlation between emotional intelligence and self management among bpo
employees.
3.5 STATISTICAL TOOLS USED
3.5.1 Reliability Test
The Reliability refers to the consistency of a measure. A measure is said to
have a high reliability if it produces consistent results under consistent conditions.
Here Reliability is used to check whether the variables in the questionnaire are related
to one another to produce an effective result. The value of Cronbachs alpha above 0.5
can be used as a reasonable test of scale reliability.
3.5.2 Frequency Analysis
Generally a frequency is used for looking at detailed information on
nominal (category) data and describing the results. Categorical data is for variables

such as gender i.e. males are coded as "1" and females are coded as "2." Frequencies
options include a table showing counts and percentages, statistics including percentile
values, central tendency, dispersion and distribution, and charts including bar charts
and histograms.
The Frequencies procedure was used to analyze the variables. The variables
that consist of scales can be analyzed using frequency procedure to generate the
summary statistics and charts.
3.5.3 Factor Analysis
Factor analysis is a statistical method used to describe variability among
observed, correlated variables in terms of a potentially lower number of unobserved
variables called factors.
3.5.4 Regression Analysis
Regression analysis includes many techniques for modeling and analyzing
several variables, when the focus is on the relationship between a dependent
variable and one or more independent variables. More specifically, regression analysis
helps one understand how the typical value of the dependent variable changes when
any one of the independent variables is varied, while the other independent variables
are held fixed. Most commonly, regression analysis estimates the conditional
expectation of the dependent variable given the independent variables that is,
the average value of the dependent variable when the independent variables are fixed.
Less commonly, the focus is on a quantile, or other location parameter of the
conditional distribution of the dependent variable given the independent variables. In
all cases, the estimation target is a function of the independent variables called the
regression function.
3.5.5 Chi square Analysis
If a sample of size n is taken from a population having a normal distribution,
then there is a well-known result which allows a test to be made of whether the
variance of the population has a pre-determined value. For example, a manufacturing
process might have been in stable condition for a long period, allowing a value for the
variance to be determined essentially without error. Suppose that a variant of the
process is being tested, giving rise to a small sample of product items whose variation

is to be tested. The test statistic T in this instance could be set to be the sum of squares
about the sample mean, divided by the nominal value for the variance. Then T has a
chi-squared distribution with n 1 degrees of freedom.

Data Analysis and Interpretation

4.1 SCALE RELIABILITY


After identifying the dimension underlying a factor, a researcher may prepare a
scale of those dimensions to measure a factor. Such a scale has to be tested for validity and
reliability. Proper validity and reliability testing can be done using CFA. However, researcher
commonly uses the Cronbachs alpha coefficient for establishing scale reliability. The
Cronbachs alpha coefficient is an indicator of internal consistency of the scale. A high value
of the Cronbachs alpha coefficient suggests that that the item that make up the scale hang
together and measure the same underlying construct. A value of Cronbachs alpha above
0.07 can be used as a reasonable test of scale reliability.
Reliability statistics of EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Table : 1 Reliability Statistics

Cronbach's Alpha

Inference:

The alpha values were calculated to assess the internal consistency reliabilities
of the Emotional Intelligence scales. For emotional intelligence scales, the value of .898
indicated adequate reliability (Nunnally, 1978).
Cronbachs (alpha) is a statistics used in this study. It is commonly used as a
measure of the internal consistency or reliability of a psychometric test score for a sample of
examinees. Cronbachs alpha will generally increase as the intercorrelations among test items
increase, and is thus known as an internal consistency estimate of reliability of test scores,
because intercorrelations among test items are maximized when all items measure the same
construct , Cronbachs alpha is widely believed to indirectly indicate the degree to which a set
of items measures a single unidimensional latent construct.
Demographic and rational profile of consumers analyzed using frequency analysis (i.e.)
percentage analysis in this study.

4.3 FACTOR ANALYSIS

Factor analysis was used to identify the factors which determine emotional intelligence of BPO
employee. According to Cunningham and Maloney (1999), Factor Analysis is concerned with
finding a small number of common factors that linearly reconstruct a large number of variables.
Dimension: Emotional intelligence
KMO and Bartlett's Test
The individual statements on Emotional intelligence and self management among the
BPO employees with special reference to Vagus technology was examined using factor analysis
based on 40 individual statements and the reliability of the samples collected was tested for internal
consistency of the grouping of the items.
Table 45: KMO and Bartlett's Test

Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy.

Bartlett's Test of Sphericity

Approx. Chi-Square

.776

538.285

df
.000
Sig.

KMO measure of sampling adequacy is an index to examine the appropriateness of factor


analysis. High values between 0.5 and 1.0 indicate factor analysis is appropriate. Values below 0.5
imply that factor analysis may not be appropriate. From the above table it is seen that Kaiser Meyer
Olkin measure of sampling adequacy index is 0.776 and hence the factor analysis is appropriate for
the given data set.

Bartletts Test of Sphericity is used to examine the hypothesis that the variables are
uncorrelated. It is based on chi- Square transformation of the determinant of correlation matrix. A large
value of the test statistic will favor the rejection of the null hypothesis. In turn this would indicate that
factor analysis is appropriate.
Bartletts test of Sphericity Chi-square statistics is 538.285, that shows the 40 statements are
correlated and hence as inferred in KMO, factor analysis is appropriate for the given data set.

Extraction Method: Principal Axis Factoring


INFERENCE
The above communalities measure the percent of variance in a given variable explained by all
the factors. Initial communalities are estimates of the variance in each variable accounted for by all
components or factors. For Principal Axis Factoring, these values are the proportion (for correlation
analyses) or the amount (for covariance analyses) of variance accounted for in each variables by the
rest of the variables. The extracted communalities is the percent of variance in a given variable
explained by the factors which are extracted and that will usually be fewer than all the possible factors,
resulting in coefficients less than 1.0.small values indicate variables that do not fit well with the factor
solution and should possibly be dropped from the analysis.

INFERENCE
This table gives eigen values, variance explained, cumulative variance explained for your
factor solution. The first panel gives values based on initial eigen values. For the initial solution, there
are as many components or factors as there are variables. The Total column gives the amount of
variance in the observed variables accounted for by each component or factor. The % of Variance
column gives the percent of variance accounted for by each specific factor or component, relative to
the total variance in all the variables. The Cumulative % column gives the percent of variance
accounted for by all factors or components up to and including the current one. For instance the
cumulative % for the second factor is the sum of the % of variance for the first and second factors. In a
good factor analysis, there are a few factors that explain a lot of the variance and the rest of the factors
explain relatively small amounts of variance.
The Extraction Sum of Squared Loadings group gives information regarding the
extracted factors or components. For Principal Axis Factoring method, these values will generally be
smaller than the initial values, due to error in measurements.
The Rotation Sum of Squared Loadings group gives you the rotation of factors is
transferred through rotation into a simpler one that is easier to interpret. It does not affect the

percentage of total variance explained. However, the variance explained by the individual factors is
redistributed by rotation.
The most commonly used method is Varimax rotation procedure. This procedure maximizes
the variance of the loadings on each factor, thus minimizing the complexity of the factors.

Rotation Method: Varimax with Kaiser Normalization.

The factor transformation matrix describes the specific rotation applied to your factor
solution. This matrix is used to compute the rotated factor matrix from the original
(unrotated) factor matrix. If the off-diagonal elements are close to zero, the rotation was
relatively small. If the off-diagonal elements are large (greater than 0.5), a larger rotation
was applied.
4.4 MULTIPLE REGRESSION
Multiple Regression analysis is the simplest form of regression analysis
involves finding the best straight line relationship to explain how the variation in an outcome
(or dependent) variable, Y, depends on the variation in a predictor (or independent or
explanatory) variable, X. once the relationship has been estimated we will be able to use the
equation Y=b0+b1X in order to predict the value of the outcome variable for different values
of the explanatory variable.

INFERENCE
This table displays R, R squared, adjusted R squared, and the standard error.
R, the multiple correlation coefficient, is the correlation between the observed and
predicted values of the dependent variable. The values of R for models produced by the
regression procedure range from 0 to 1.Larger values of R indicate stronger relationships.
Here, R value is .680 which indicates it have a strong relationship of 68.0 percent between
the variables of service marketing mix dimensions and customer satisfaction.

R squared is the proportion of variation in the dependent variable explained by the


regression model. The values of R squared range from 0 to 1. Small values indicate that the
model does not fit the data well. The sample R squared tends to optimistically estimate how
well the model fits the population. Here, the R Squared Value is .562 which indicates this
model fits the population. it explains 46.2 percent of variation in the customer satisfaction.
Adjusted R squared attempts to correct R squared to more closely reflect the
goodness of fit of the model in the population. Use R Squared to help you determine which
model is best. Choose a model with a high value of R squared that does not contain too many
variables. Models with too many variables are often over fit and hard to interpret. Here,
Adjusted R Square Value is .539 which shows goodness of fit of the model in the
population.

INFERENCE
This table summarizes the results of an analysis of variance. The sum of squares,
degrees of freedom, and mean square are displayed for two sources of variation, regression
and residual. The output for Regression displays information about the variation accounted
for by the model.
The output for Residual displays information about the variation that is not accounted
for by your model. And the output for Total is the sum of the information for Regression and
Residual.
A model with a large regression sum of squares in comparison to the residual sum of
squares indicates that the model accounts for most of variation in the dependent variable.
Here, a large regression sum of squares 24.596 to the residual sum of squares 28.604
indicates that the model accounts for most of variation in the dependent variable
Very high residual sum of squares indicate that the model fails to explain a lot of the
variation in the dependent variable, and you may want to look for additional factors that help
account for a higher proportion of the variation in the dependent variable.

The mean square is the sum of squares divided by the degrees of freedom. Here, the
mean square value is 4.919
The F statistic is the regression mean square (MSR) divided by the residual mean
square (MSE). The regression degrees of freedom is the numerator df and the residual
degrees of freedom is the denominator df for the F statistic. The total number of degrees of
freedom is the number of cases minus 1.Here, the F statistics is 19.605
If the significance value of the F statistic is small (smaller than say 0.05) then the
independent variables do a good job explaining the variation in the dependent variable. If the
significance value of F is larger than say 0.05 then the independent variables do not explain
the variation in the dependent variable. Here, the significance value of the F statistic is .000,
which is smaller than say 0.05 then the independent variables do a good job explaining the
variation in the dependent variable.

a Dependent Variable: mention your overall satisfaction about emotional intelligence


and self management
INFERENCE
The unstandardized coefficients are the coefficients of the estimated regression model.
Often the independent variables are measures in different units. The standardized coefficients

or betas are an attempt to make the regression coefficients more comparable. If you
transformed the data to z scores prior to your regression analysis, you would get the beta
coefficients as your unstandardized coefficients. The t statistics can help you determine the
relative importance of each variable in the model. As a guide regarding useful predictors,
look for t values well below -2 or above +2. The significance level and the coefficient value
of unstandardized column will estimate the regression of overall customer satisfaction (Beta
Value)
The general regression model (linear) is of this type:

Y = a + b1 X1 + b2 X2+. b6 X6

Y = .060 + .317X1 + .240X2+ .149X3+ .191X4


Where Y is the dependent variable and X1,X2, X4 are the independent
variables expected to explain or predict Y, b1, b2, .. b6 are the coefficients of the
respective independent variables, which will be determined from the input data.
Overall Customer Satisfaction of Integrated Enterprises (I) Ltd (Y) = 0.060
(Constant) + 0.317 (aware of emotional intelligence and self management) + 0.240 (good
understanding between team) + 0.149 (job satisfaction) +0.191 (self regulations)
From the above coefficient table, it has been concluded that the variables of
emotional intelligence namely, aware of emotional intelligence and self management, good
understanding between team, job satisfaction, self regulations are the dominant variables that
increase the overall customer satisfaction of emotional intelligence among BPO employees at
present as well as future.

4.5 CHI SQUARE TEST


The Chi-Square measures test the hypothesis that the row and column variables in a
cross tabulation are interdependent. A low significance value typically below 0.05 indicates

that there may be some relationship between two variables; they do not indicate the strength
or direction of relationship.

From the above findings and also according to the factor analysis among the 14 variables
loaded which are considered for the survey, 4 main components have been extracted such as,
1.
2.
3.
4.

Able to complete the work on time


EI and SM is the tool used to maintain the relationships between peers
Maintain relationship with others
Innovation

These 4factors are considered as the most important factors through which the employees
satisfaction is considered as dependent.

According to these above 4 factors it provides about 75% and above of the employees is
being satisfied with the facilities provided to them.
The findings from the Regression analysis says that R value is .680 which indicates it have a
strong relationship of 68.0 percent of employee satisfaction. The significance value of the F
statistic is 19.605, which is larger than say 0.05 then the independent variables do not
explaining the variation in the dependent variable.
The Overall Employee Satisfaction of the coefficient is 0.898
According to the chi-square analysis the significance value is 0.000 which is highly
significant and so the null hypothesis is accepted.

Suggestions
1. According to the feedback given by the employees it is clear even though 66% of the
employees are satisfied about emotional intelligence and self management in the
company, the remaining 14 % of the employees are feeling bit difficult with the
emotional intelligence and self management in the company. They also suggest
increasing the training programmes according to maintain the emotional intelligence
in the work place.
2. But can make the employees to maintain emotional intelligence in the company, by
motivating them positively towards the goals of the organization. Make them believe
that they are one among the Vagus technology. The motivation makes them work
effectively for the organization by showing all their talents.
3. Operator meeting can be arranged monthly to make understand their responsibilities
in the organization. If proper responsibilities and the recognition are being provided

they will be engaged in their work properly and will make increasing returns
accordingly.
4. There should be participative management in the organization as most of the
employees feels that their views and ideas should be valued and considered.
5. Company must focus more on team building interventions to promote superior
subordinate relationship.
6. Employees are the first asset of the organization if they are satisfied well with the
organization, the organization can retain in their market and also they can improve
their markets.
