Noorlaila Hj Yunus

Abstract—The aim of this study was to examine the influence of emotional intelligence and leader-member exchange (LMX) on organizational citizenship behaviour. Using a sample of 180 supervisor-subordinates dyads, this study hypothesized that emotional intelligence and leadermember exchange would have a stronger relationship to organizational citizenship behaviour. One’s ability to succeed in coping with environmental demands and pressures is a function of one’s emotional intelligence. It is expected that in a relationship oriented society like Malaysia, the quality of the dyadic relationship would strongly influence employees’ behavioural tendencies. The result shows that other’s emotion appraisal (and regulation of emotion has a positive influence on altruism and civic virtue respectively. Meanwhile other’s emotion appraisal also shows a positive influence on LMX. Further research and practical implications are discussed.

Index Terms—Emotional intelligence, leader-member exchange, organizational citizenship behaviours, work behaviours.
