Assessing and Enhancing Emotional Intelligence among Nigerian Librarians

Adetoun Omolola Idowu, Lateef Omotosho Adegboyega

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The democratization process in Nigeria has been dismally slow owing to issue of leadership in Nigeria, especially among the librarians. Researchers have attributed this prevalent tendency of the Nigerian librarians not being able to manage library failures and successes to inadequacies of emotional intelligence requisite for career progression and professional self-actualization. There is dearth of research in the area of assessing and enhancing emotional intelligence among Nigerian librarians. Attempts made to uncover related studies in this area have proved abortive. It is anticipated that the position of this paper will provide baseline information for research as to how emotional intelligence affects leadership styles in the library organisation. By using the qualitative approaches and literature review, this study tries to elaborate key concepts of leadership and its relationship with the Nigerian librarians, such as: Concept of Emotional Intelligence; Emotional Intelligence and Leadership; Leadership and Leadership Style; the Transformational-Transactional Leadership Style Theory by J.M. Burns was Used to Explain the Concept of Leadership Style; and Relevance of J.M. Burns Theory to this Study.

KEY WORD: Assessing; Enhancing; Emotional Intelligence; Nigerian Librarians.
