Factors associated with emotional intelligence of Sarpanches

BJ Sangada, RD Pandya and VN Parmar

Panchayati Raj institutions epitomize participatory democracy, with Sarpanches playing a pivotal role in rural development post-constitutional amendments. Emotional Intelligence (EI) emerges as key to their leadership effectiveness. This study, conducted in South Gujarat, assessed factors influencing EI among Sarpanches. Social dynamics, including familial support and social recognition, significantly shape EI. Physical well-being, institutional achievements, and communication facilities contribute to EI development. Psychological factors such as critical thinking and self-confidence play crucial roles. Economically, fair compensation and recognition for extra work are pivotal. Organizational clarity and adaptability enhance EI. Overall, understanding and addressing these multifaceted factors are imperative for effective leadership and rural development within Panchayati Raj institutions.
