The purpose of this study was to investigate possible relationships between selfdirected learning and emotional intelligence in healthcare managers. There are commonalities between these constructs; however, they had not previously been examined side by side. The interrelationships of these variables with age, gender, and tenure with the health system in a supervisory role were examined.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to investigate possible relationships between selfdirected learning and emotional intelligence in healthcare managers. There are commonalities between these constructs; however, they had not previously been examined side by side. The interrelationships of these variables with age, gender, and tenure with the health system in a supervisory role were examined. A post hoc hypothesis exploring the relationships of self-directed learning, emotional intelligence, problem solving ability needed on the job and the amount of change facing the manager in the workplace was formulated after the data were collected. Conclusions focus on the strong interrelationship between self-directed learning and emotional intelligence. This research failed to establish a link between performance, self-directed learning and emotional intelligence, perhaps attributable to unanticipated aspects of the performance review process of this health system. The study revealed significant relationships between self-directed learning, degree of change in the job and level of problem solving ability needed to perform the job. This topic merits further investigation in circumstances in which the performance assessment system is more likely to provide accurate, precise knowledge of the level of performance.
