Introduction

Emotional intelligence is the ability to conceive, direct and estimate emotions. There are two schools of thought exist in the field of research: One group of researchers believe that man can be trained to attain and fortify emotional intelligence. Second advocates that it is an innate trait.

Peter Salovey and John D. Mayer, the foremost researchers define emotional intelligence as, “the subset of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one own and others feelings and emotions , to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one thinking and actions” (Emotional Intelligence , 1990).

Aforementioned researchers suggest a model of EI having four factors: the capability to perceive, understand , reason and manage emotions.
