Abstract:

The study of emotional intelligence within academic administration presented an opportunity to explore

proposed linkages between emotional competencies and satisfaction with occupational demands. The

literature revealed that academic administrators, such as deans, can benefit from the development of

emotional intelligence competencies. Five key competencies were discovered after creating and analyzing

a theoretical model. The research revealed that deans who perceived themselves as flexible, assertive,

and tolerant of stress tended to be more satisfied with their positions. Likewise, their overall satisfaction

with work was higher if they considered themselves to be effective problem solvers and self-actualizers.
