This research is an effort to detect the relationships between the elements of emotional intelligence and charismatic leadership.  </em></p> <p><strong><em>Method:</em></strong><em> Purposive sampling technique was adopted to assemble data from 356 bankers working in different private commercial banks in Bangladesh. The Emotional Quotient Index (EQ Index: Rahim et al., 2002) and a Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ 5X: Bass &Avolio, 2000) were used to assess emotional intelligence and charismatic leadership respectively. A total of 356 usable responses were received which were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and linear regression.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Results: </em></strong><em>The study revealed that all elements of emotional intelligence, namely, self-awareness (r=.64, p<.001), self-regulation (r=.62, p <.001), motivation (r = .65, p< .001), empathy (r = .63, p< .001), and social skills (r = .59, p <.001) were positively correlated with charismatic leadership. It also demonstrated that potential covariates (e.g. experience, age, employee, department, education, gender, and position) shared a negligible correlation with emotional intelligence and charismatic leadership.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Implications</em></strong><em>: </em><em>These unique findings would be helpful to academics, scholars, policymakers, and managers/executives of commercial banks to flourish their charisma by cultivating and boosting emotional intelligence to realize a higher level of organizational outcomes. </em></p> <p><strong><em>Limitations:</em></strong><em> The generalizability of the findings is limited by its particular sampling technique which is less reliable.</em></p> <p><strong> </strong></p>}, number={1}, journal={Business Perspective Review}, author={Biswas, Mohona and Rahman, Md.
