Abstract [en]

Title:  Emotional Intelligence - A study based on the relationship between real estate agents and emotional intelligence

Level: Final assignment for Bachelor Degrees in Business Administration 

Authors: Julia Sjöblom and Nicklas Kling

Supervisor: Jonas Kågström

Date: 2021 June 

 

Aim: The purpose of the study is to investigate if and how emotional intelligence affects the real estate agent's work performance.

Method: The study used a quantitative research method done with “"Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire" short form” designed as an survey and this was sent out to real estate agents that are based in Sweden. 

Result and conclusion: The results of the study show that there exists correlations between Trait EI and real estate brokers work performances. There are correlations between subcategories sociability, self-control, emotionality but there is no correlation to wellbeing on the subscale level. This means that real estate agents who are skilled in social contexts, has easy to interact with other people and are good listeners are more likely to perform better at work.

Contribution of the thesis: This study contributes to business economics research by examining how emotional intelligence affects real estate agents' sales performance.

Suggestions for future research: Based on the results this study, it would be interesting for further research to investigate the subcategory sociability. Another suggestion is to use Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire measuring instrument in the same industry as this study to find similarities or differences with our results. Finally, further research is proposed regarding the possibility of developing the levels of emotional intelligence to see how this would affect work performance as a real estate agent.
