The Effects of Appreciative Inquiry on Emotional Intelligence

Siegel, Linda Marie

Abstract Details

2008, Doctor of Education, Ashland University, College of Education.
The purpose of this study was to explore the affects of experiencing Appreciative Inquiry on a group's Emotional Intelligence. The authors of Appreciative Inquiry call for a study of organizations in which evolving, social constructions change and transform the capacity of the organization to possibilities not probable in a hierarchical ordered system (Cooperrider, Barrett, & Srivastva, 1995). In order for organizational leaders to provide a structure in which optimal change processes may occur, they must understand, as in the instance of using Appreciative Inquiry, what affects it may have on individuals. Both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis contribute to this research. This study examined one consequence of change that may be useful to leaders as they work within organizations to accomplish goals and move to increased levels of effectiveness for the organization.
