Introduction

Elton Mayo has developed the concept of Human Relations. Eric Berne has brought the model of Transactional Analysis into the limelight (Berne, 2011). But various theoretical models have not contributed its maximum justice towards the understanding of the complexities in managing the people is the fact. Despite a few precursors, Goleman (1996) has brought to the limelight the idea of unlocking the mysteries of the mind Yal?n & Sozen (2015). EI is powerful instrument to pierce into the self-Development of an Individual’s mind and ultimately applies the accumulated sense with a view to develop the accurate solution.

EI is the ability of identifying, understanding, and managing the emotions. The Emotional Intelligence is measured in quantitative term is referred as Emotional Quotient (EQ). When the Emotional Quotient (EQ) is higher, emotional control is greater. In todays’ business world, employees with high EQs are required due to the cut-throat competition. Employees with high EQ are hired for the job and low EQ are fired out of the job. It is clearly understandable that Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is not at all adequate for determining the success. Being emotionally intelligent indicates that the people with greater ability to regulate their emotions properly in accordance with the required situation. Human emotions are experienced in the service sectors such as Banking and Insurance on daily basis. EI is applicable in all the sectors such as Primary, Secondary and Tertiary. But only thing is, EI varies in accordance with the different circumstances of the different organization. It mainly varies in accordance with the weightage of the workloads of the employees.

While Companies are dealing with the interruptions such as automated system, robotics system and artificial intelligence system, none could have predicted the ultimate black swan – the coronavirus outbreak, interrupting business activities, air travels and supply chains around the world (Barrett & Gross, 2001).

Due to the Outbreak of Covid-19 Pandemic, all the employees started working from home. Prior to the covid-19, situation was different. Employees report to the Organization based on the time fixed by the Organization and log out once the task is completed for the day. But now the situation is that employees are working from home irrespective of the Reporting and Log Out time. Thus, there is no hard and fast rule that the employees need not work beyond forty-eight hours in a week. Covid-19 made all the employees to work from home for hours together apart from their sleeping hours. In such a case, much workload changes the attitudes of the employees in terms of weakening their emotions, which impacts the stress levels of the employees too. Therefore, this study is undertaken with a view to find the differences in the opinions of the employees working from office and working from home in the case of both the levels of Emotional Intelligence (Beheshtifar & Roasaei, 2012).

Literature Review

Salovey & Mayer (1990), has defined Emotional Intelligence (EI) as an intelligence that deals with the capability of monitoring own and feelings of others and emotions with a view to distinguish themselves and by utilizing this, guiding one’s own emotion and action. EI concept is related to the psychological abilities which can be segregated into different segments as follows:

1. The capability of perceiving and recognizing the emotions.

2. The ability of utilizing one’s own emotion and assisting the thinking process.

3. The capability of creating about the awareness of the emotions.

4. The capability to manage the emotions.

The first segment is concerned with the capability of understanding the emotions through the individual’s body language and the eye contact. The second segment deals with the capability to monitor the one’s own and feelings of others and emotions.

Kaushal (2019) investigated the factors influencing Emotional Intelligence on Work Life Balance in IT Sector in Pune and Mumbai with the sample size of 170 from various organization of the age group ranging from 25 to 50 years. The result of this study demonstrated that IT professional with more experience in IT sector has higher level of emotional intelligence. On the other hand, IT professional with less experience in IT sector has lower level of emotional intelligence. Most of the IT Professionals were aware of their capacities, strengths, weakness and emotions. IT organizations where flexible work life is provided, employees had a better work life balance.

Venkatesh (2018) examined a study on the impact of Emotional Intelligence on Expatriation of IT Employees in Tamil Nadu with 952 samples. The study discloses that there is a strong influence of emotional intelligence towards the expatriation success of the expatriates in the host country. Emotional Intelligence has strong association with the factors influencing successful expatriation among the respondents in the host country. The research outcomes have given the nod on the Quality of Training program provided to the expatriates in the home country. The results have focused on the success parameters of expatriation and astonishing outcomes has been derived from the research on the influence of emotional intelligence towards success of expatriation.

Chauhan & Maheshwari (2021) conducted the study on Emotional Intelligence and its impact on Occupational Performance with the sample of 600 spread over five professional streams such as Faculty Members, Advocates, Chartered Accountants, Engineers, and Doctors by considering 13 variables for the study. This study has been conducted in Rajasthan. The study revealed that the levels of Occupational performance where the extent of the relationship between the variables were primarily different from each other. There is a Shortfall of Medical Doctors in rural areas. Among the Surveyed Lawyers, the study revealed that there is a fair number of 'Success Rate' in their professional law-practices. Many Faculty Members are encouraging students via their active participation in development activities in either developing digital learning resources, conducting literacy programmes, education camps, NSS/NCC activities, observing National days of importance etc.

Jorfi et al. (2010) examined the impact of emotional intelligence levels of the employees from IT sector on their organizational performance levels. Sample Size of 463 selected among the IT Professionals from Hyderabad, Telangana. Structural Equation Modelling is used for building the model. It was observed that there was constructive significant impact of emotional intelligence levels of employees on their organizational performance. Mohapatra & Gupta (2010) analyzed the case of public Sector organization in India which is concerned with the work relationship aspect of Internal Locus of Control and Emotional Intelligence with Work Values among the Managers. This study suggests that the factors influencing the Emotional Intelligence and work-values are highly correlated. This study also exhibits that the social skills, managing the emotions and utilizing the emotions and executive ‘internal locus of control are significantly correlated with each other.

Mohan et al. (2019) conducted a study on impact of Emotional Intelligence on Organizational Climate and Organizational Citizenship Behaviour in selected Private Sector Banks in Madurai City with the sample size of 790. Six banks were selected for the study which includes HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, AXIS Bank, KVB Bank, TMB Bank and LVB Bank. The results revealed that the Emotional Intelligence is the key factor for development of an organization in the Banking Sector, which also influences the Organizational Climate and Organizational Citizenship Behaviour of the Organization. Employees with high Emotional Intelligence will deliver high Organizational Citizenship Behaviour and improve organizational climate. The Emotional Intelligence, Organizational Climate and Organizational Citizenship Behaviour are interrelated with each other and are significant for the development of both individual and the organization.

Ghoreishi et al. (2014) investigated the Relationship between the Emotional Intelligence and Job Performance towards the Employees working in the Hospitals. The samples were collected from the 113 respondents which include 58 male respondents and 50 female respondents which include 24 Doctors, 36 Nurses, 17 Administrative Staff and 36 Paramedical Staff in Chennai. The result shows that correlation coefficients between different variables shows that Awareness of Emotion and Management of other emotions and Job Performance and Management of own emotions and Management of other emotions is more strong and more positive as compared to the association between other variables.

Donatus et al. (2019) examined the impact of emotional and social intelligence on the performance of staff in some selected hospitality and tourism establishments in Bauchi metropolis with the sample size of 96. The result of this study shown that social intelligent was geared towards the improvement of the employee performance. It also revealed that emotional and social intelligence when acquired which enables employees to understand tourists’ and guests’ emotions. It is further suggested that the social intelligence is an important tool for the hospitality establishments. Hence, management of such institutions should see it as a concept that will promote and motivate the inner force of the employees for their effective service delivery.

Research Gap

Literature review serves as the basic phenomenon under the context of social science research. However, it is interesting to identify those numerous studies focus on the various sectors exclusively on Emotional Intelligence in the Academic Field, Banking Sectors, Hospital Sectors, Tourism Sectors, and Information Technology Companies too (Chan, 2006). But none of the research study focused towards measuring the employees’ perception between two different periods i.e., work at office (before COVID-19) and work from home (after the outbreak of COVID-19). Hence, this research paper concentrates on examining the examining the impact of COVID-19 on Emotional Intelligence of Employees of Health Care Sector in Bengaluru with a view to understand the degree of change in the perception of the employees between two different periods (Dulewicz et al., 2005; Ealias & George, 2012; Ugoani, 2014). Thus, this research study identifies the new parameters. Hence the required primary and secondary data pertinent to this research study are collected with a view to focus on the significance and performance of its role and position in the Organization.

Objectives of the Study

1. To study the Demographic characteristics of the employees.

2. To examine the impact of Employees’ EI in the organization before and after the outbreak of covid-19.

3. To analyze the rank preferences given by the employees towards the factors influencing the emotional intelligence particularly on work at office and home.

Methodology

For this study, Descriptive Research Design is used in two stages. First stage consists of the construction of the questionnaire by incorporating all the questions required for collecting the data pertinent to the objectives of the study. The second stage involves the actual survey of collecting the primary data through ‘structured undisguised’ questionnaire which was conducted from 1st September 2019 to 4th November 2019 in the head office. When the lockdown starts, with a view to study the impact of COVID-19 on EI of the Employees, a separate group has been created by using the what’s application and the phone numbers of all the respondents are being added through which the Google forms are being placed with the respondents and collected the data from the same set of respondents with the same sample size from 27th March to 20th April. The collected data were then tabulated and interpreted, and the required statistical tools used for arriving at the results (Turner et al., 2002; Vratskikh et al., 2016; Yal?n & Sozen, 2015).

Sample Size

The sample size is One Hundred and Twenty selected based on stratified sampling from the category of probability sampling method as follows:

Top Level Employees

It also discloses that there is no significant difference existing within the factors of EI of the employees performing from office and residential within the case of both high and low level of EI. Male employees have given last preference to the Influence both in the case of work from office as well as work from home. Only Female employees have given first preference to the Interpersonal Sensitivity while they are working from home. Good Interpersonal relationship should exist among all the employees in the company at all the levels.
