Abstract
EI (Emotional Intelligence) alone or when combined with IQ (Intelligence Quotient) has been known to often determine managerial competence (or problem solving index.) This paper retests a conceptual model developed earlier to interpret how EI (Emotional Intelligence), IQ (Knowledge, Skills and Abilities or KSA) and ED (Executive Development) contribute to Managerial Problem Solving. It tests four hypotheses with data from Bangladesh and China toward a comparative management effectiveness model. Seventy eight entry to mid- level managers of BRAC in Bangladesh and 52 managers from 26 diverse organizations of Shandong, China participated in this comparative study. The authors provide reliable indices for Emotional Intelligence, IQ (KSA) and Employee Development concepts while providing empirical support for the managerial effectiveness model. The paper makes a definitive claim about the contribution of EI in managerial effectiveness (or problem solving).
