TASK 2
Evaluating the topic “The importance of Emotional Intelligence in health care” along with its
five dimension
According to the view of Goleman (2021) emotional intelligence is an ability that helps
to understand the use as well as manage own emotion in a positive way that helps to relieve from
stress and communicate the same to others easily. In addition to this, it is important in the
workplace, as it helps to generate the effective results and decrease the chances of conflict as
well. Overall, it helps to improve job satisfaction because by understating other’s emotion, it
helps to retain employees for long term. The recent example in a healthcare industry also shows
that during a meeting of all professionals, when one person speaks and other listen, assists to
analyze the behavior of all the employees in order to make the decision effectively. Moroń and
Biolik-Moroń (2021) examined in their study that EI help healthcare organizations in order to

deliver the better service to attain superior outcome and gain competitive advantage as well. For
that, most of the businesses also offer training session which help to generate effective result and
improve communication between the people lead higher patient satisfaction as well.
In addition to this, a high EI always help to build the relationships and generate an
effective result to improve the overall performance, also gain better outcome. With the help of
effective EI, it lower down the stress and also burnout of health care professionals in different
ways. Thus, it provides understanding with regard to patient’s emotional reaction to a treatment
that also lead to increase the patient satisfaction. Dasborough and et.al., (2021) also investigated
in their study that it provide better teamwork opportunity for the company where employees with
higher EI automatically work better as a team. Thus, they can adjust according to the working
environment and that is why, it helps to improve the overall performance. Moreover, with the
help of this skill nurses and other professionals can easily cope up with the conflicts. This in turn
assists to reflect that it helps to improve overall performance of a company so that it can stay
ahead in competition.
Kuk, Guszkowska and Gala-Kwiatkowska (2021) shared their views with regard to
Emotional Intelligence where five dimensions of EI are reflected that helps to improve the
overall performance. These dimensions are as mentioned below:
Self-awareness: It occurs when an individual knows own feeling at that particular
moment and also with their own preferences, they make decision. In this, they have a realistic
assessment of own abilities and a well-grounded senses of self-confidence so that range of
effective measures can be taken (Ahad and et.al., 2021). Or it can be also stated that with the
help of this dimension, individual can understand own moods, emotion that help to build a self-
confidence in order to take own responsibility. That is why, it can be stated that with the help of
this dimension, individual can manage own views and make decision accordingly.
Self-regulation: It is the ability to control all the emotional impulse as well as moods that
also involves the ability to suspend judgement and then delay the action as well. This also assists
the individual to handle emotion so that they can reach to a defined goal and also recover well
from an emotional distress (Vega and et.al., 2021). That is why, the dimension might help an
individual to regulate own emotion so that effective result can be generated.

Motivation: Within veterinary professionals, the motivation plays an important role
because it helps to understand the things in better way and encourage them to meet the defined
aim at a workplace. In addition to this, to meet the aim, an individual always need a motivation
that assists to change their mood and generate a sense of work. Similarly, it is a dimension that
helps an individual to make themselves inspire and also appeal to followers meet the target
(MacCann and et.al., 2020). This type of dimension is mainly found among leaders so that they
can manage the work and pays attention to others so that they help to attain the defined aim. In
healthcare professionals, it has been analyzed that transformational leaders always inspire their
subordinate and to meet the aim by communicating the same.
Empathy: It is an ability that helps to understand the emotional make-up of other people
in which the skill is required to treat the people as per their emotional reaction. Through this, an
individual is able to maintain the relationship with others who mainly come in to contact at daily
basis. Therefore, it can be stated that it is all about sensing what other people are feeling and
being able to take their views so that cultivating the rapport in order to make effective results.
That is why, individual must possess effective this skill that helps them to understand the
perception of others in order to generate the effective results a sense of belongings can generated.
Relationship Management: It is all about handling the emotions in a workplace in well
manner so that individual can manage the situation and enhance the network as well. This skill
also helps to solve the dispute among individual and urges them to work in a team so that
environment can be positive (Mattingly and Kraiger, 2019). With the help of this dimeson,
individual are critical for transformational leadership and that is why, it does not used in most of
the cases. Also, it has reflected that with the help of this dimension, individual can determine the
ways through which emotions can be handled. This assists to derive better outcome because EI
always help to think better and derive better outcome in order to improve the results.
Kotsou and et.al., (2019) also investigated that with the help of EI, individual can uses
the empathy and further understand how to handle the social interactions at a work. This helps to
improve the self-awareness and makes a self-control so that effective results can be generated.
However, it can be stated that the emotional intelligence always affects the quality of lives
because it influences the behavior and relationship. So there is a need to focus upon this aspect
so that it does not cause any negative impact over their views. Along with this, EI also helps the

individual to communicate in better manner that helps to reduce the anxiety and stress so that
relationship can be improved that affect the behavior of an individuals. That is why, there is a
need to use the skills in an effective manner that helps to create a better outcome and it help to
improve the workplace environment so that effective results can be generated.

action plan cannot be completed because it affects the results in negative manner. It is not

supervisor so that effective results can be drawn. In addition to this, not meet with the defined
tenure is another risk faced for action plan and it might affect individual to meet the defined aim
