A Systematic Review on Emotional Intelligence and General Anxiety among the Working Professionals

Abstract

Emotional intelligence (EI) is described as the capacity to recognize, articulate, comprehend, regulate, and utilize emotions. Emotional intelligence significantly influences anxiety levels, health, interpersonal connections, and job success. This article includes a systematic assessment of emotional intelligence and anxiety intervention trials in adult populations to evaluate their outcomes. These findings offer support for the effectiveness of emotional intelligence in reducing anxiety levels among working professionals. Nonetheless, significant limitations in the majority of the research constrain the generalizability of their findings. Thus, a significant information gap exists in the current literature concerning working professionals, and this study intends to rectify this shortcoming.
