Abstract

Emotional Intelligence is an interesting topic in Organizational Literature today. New studies have stressed upon the relevance of Emotional Intelligence even over the traditionally accepted Intelligence Quotient. This is because Emotional Intelligence is a behavioral component that can affect employee productivity, satisfaction level as well as intent to continue with the organization. Since Emotional Intelligence is such an important behavioral component it becomes additionally important to study its relation and impact on the perceived work overload by employees. Do employees with high Emotional Intelligence have better abilities to handle work pressures? This study tries to study the impact of Emotional Intelligence on perceived Work Overload of employees in the Information Technology sector. For the purpose of this study 60 employees from an IT company were taken as the sample and administered the Questionnaire to understand whether Emotional Intelligence had an impact on their Perceived Work Overload. The study is co relational in nature and the results prove that there is a high relationship between the two variables. Also a regression model to study the impact of Emotional Intelligence on Perceived Work Overload is developed in this study. This study is important because IT Companies recruit employees solely based on their technical skills whereas the job entails long working hours and a lot of teamwork.

Abstract

Mere traditional classroom teaching is now a matter of the past. Introduction of technology has revolutionized the way teaching is conducted. It offers the flexibility for learning to be available to students at any desired time or place. Digitalization of education has also blurred the borders that were previously defined by students and teachers being present in the same location at the same time. Over the last decade, distance and online learning is becoming increasingly popular in India. Online learning courses are on the rise and have been facilitated by the increase in digital technology now being available in most of the country. Additionally, with the introduction of the learning management systems (LMS), student assessment through digitalization technology is now a reality. Students can also interact with their peers in and outside of the classroom. The aspect of peer centred learning has also helped to steer the soft skills of the students. LMS would positively impact the teaching process and student assessment. Furthermore, it provides an opportunity for students and faculty to attend or conduct a session from an off - site location, therefore making the world seem smaller and more accessible.
