Abstract EN

The study aimed to find the relationship between the level of emotional intelligence used by project manager and its impact on his project management performance inside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

This project management performance is reflected by the performance of the project management team in succeeding to reach the project outcomes.

This study also, aims to come up with recommendations that would raise emotional intelligence awareness and interest as a factor off success, excellence, and distinction among project managers.

The study was conducted on a segment of project managers inside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by measuring their level of emotional intelligence and linking it to their success.

This relationship, between the level of their emotional intelligence and its impact on the performance on project management and on the team, is translated as the success of the project at all levels.

The two researchers adopted the descriptive analysis method, and an electronic questionnaire was distributed to a large group of project managers in various fields within the Kingdom Saudi Arabia.

The research received 107 responses.

Considering the competition between project managers, the study showed that, there is a very weak effect toward success between the Project Manager's Competence, certificates, and experiences with the performance of his team towards the success.

But the research showed a remarkable relationship and a strong effect between emotional intelligence in its five axes (self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship management, and leadership) with the success of the project.

The study recommended researchers completing this topic to complete the study and find weights of variable parameters that positively affect the performance of project managers.

The study recommended spreading and developing awareness of emotional intelligence as culture among project managers, and for all managers in general.
