Abstract
Many researches have focused on analyzing and studying the benefits of emotional intelligence could provide in training and staff development issues. The aim of this study is to compare the relationship between trait emotional intelligence of leaders with some emotional processes and how these processes affect other variables such as leadership self-efficacy, self-efficacy and collective effectiveness of a team. The sample comprised 176 students of Psychology. Each person was randomly assigned the roles of leader and follower and they were distributed to form teams. The research procedure was developed over three phases. The results showed that self-efficacy for leadership significantly influenced self-efficacy in the task of the leader and also predicted the team’s final performance; although in the latter case its influence is only partial. This research has important implications for advancing the understanding of emotions in the workplace.
