Abstract
This article was focused on the context of organizational psychology and aimed at verifying the correlation between emotional intelligence (IE) and the aspects of workplace leadership, through a systematic literature review (from 1990 to May 2020). The research was conducted from February to July 2020, based on the following databases: BVS Brasil Phycology, PEPSIC, SCIELO, LILACS and American Psychological association (APA PsycINFO). Searches were applied with the combination of the descriptors of “emotional intelligence”, “leadership”, and “work” and their respectives in Portuguese. From all the articles, 75 were considered, being 22 theoretical and 53 empirical. The found results indicate mostly positive relation between IE and leadership aspects and performance. Throughout the texts, the main countries and continents and the periods in which the research occurred, the IE patterns, and the tests which were applied were highlighted.
Keywords: emotional intelligence, leadership, organizational psychology.
