Introduction:
Being a member of policy maker and a service provider institute and regarding
to their duties so that some employees of the ministry of welfare and social
security interact directly and indirectly with the clients providing
qualitative services and finally, satisfying the targeted society is one of the
significant goals and missions of this ministry. This survey is aimed to study
the influence of level of emotional quotient of employees on their produced
services in the Ministry of welfare and Social security.
Method:
This is a descriptive-survey study. The sampling method is selected regarding
the limited statistical society and its accuracy. the survey is done as a
census. The statistical society is all formal and contracted employees of the
Ministry. A sample of 200 employees was selected randomly. To assess the
emotional quotient using Daniel Gellman questionnaire, four elements were used:
self-consciousness, self-management, social awareness, and relation management.
To asses service quality, local standard questionnaire was used and its
narrativity was assured by experts. Data analysis was done by SPSS 16
besides linear regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between
all independent and dependent variables of hypothesis tests.
Findings:
There is a meaningful relation between emotional quotient of employees and
level of their services in the Ministry. Moreover, the relationship between all
four aspects of emotional quotient and level of service quality was proved.
Regarding the findings of all hypothesis, it can be said that among all minor
independent variables, self-management of employees has the most (R2=0.34) and
self-consciousness has the least (R2=0.09) influence on dependent
variable (level of service quality of employees).
Discussion:
The quality of services produced by employees of the ministry can be improved
and a win-win environment can be obtained by improving and reinforcing their
emotional quotient so that both employees and clients will be advantageous.
The results show that service quality can be influenced by intellectual factors
like emotional quotient. This is surprising for the government sector regarding
its nature.
