CHAPTER 3
The section entails the procedures and processes that were used for conducting the research. The chapter introduces research design, approaches, gathering enemy data, techniques for collecting the data and the analysis.
- 3.1.1 Research approach
The research methodology of the study that is most applicable to the study includes the following: quantitative research and qualitative research. The determination of the outcomes of emotional intelligence focusing on the management decision quality an analysis known as the correlation analysis (Kuvaas, 2016). Hence, the study will put more emphasis on the descriptions that aid definitive analysis. In this instance, there is designing of responses for the determination of either the respondents agree strongly, agree, unbiased, or whether they are doesn’t agree strongly or contradict with the strategies of incentives that their company is applying.

3.1.2Scanning
In this stage, there is bit by bit or a gradual process for the preparations for conducting the above study: First and foremost, it is very critical to develop the research questions. In such a case, the research questions may involve: what is the relationship that exists between the emotional intelligence and the quality of the administrative decision in the private organization found in the Saudi Arabia Kingdom? Describe the emotional intelligence level that is amongst the decision-makers found in the private organization in Saudi Arabia. Describe the administrative decision quality level found in the private organization in Saudi Arabia. What are the critical response differences existing from the respondents involving the practices that decision-makers have in the Saudi Arabia Kingdom related to the emotional intelligence variables such as age, gender, level of education and years of experience? What are the critical response differences from the respondents about the quality of the administrative decision in the private sector found in the Saudi Arabia Kingdom related to variables such as age, gender, level of education and years of experience?
Secondly, there is a definition of the main variables and fields for the research areas that are involved in this project which include emotional intelligence which can be represented by the following dimensions: Self-regulation, motivation. Self-awareness, social skills, and sympathy. The dependent variables for the project are the management decision quality and the demographic variables include age, gender, job titles, level of education and years of job experience.
Thirdly, there is a collection of the necessary available information for the employees in the organization that raised the alarm for the emotional intelligence on the quality of the administrative decision. The data that is used in the assembly technique is from the closed questionnaire. Google Docs will be used to access the survey where the responses from the respondents are collected digitally.
The next step is data analysis. Data analysis involves the reviewing and classification of the collected information for confirmation of whether the response from the respondents meets the required standards for the analysis. the SPSS software is the data analysis tool that is used to develop the various graphs for interpretation.
The fifth step is the recommendation and conclusion of the research report based on the research question interest drawn from the first step.
3.2 Research Design
3.2.1 Respondents
There many methods that are used when collecting the data that is needed for this type of research. The data collected was analyzed and the characteristics and needs of the participants were represented. The relational design is a design method that was used to investigate the relationship that may exist between the emotional intelligence and the management decision quality found in the private organization I the kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Golman, 1998). The data was then measured to demonstrate the relationship between the demographic characteristics and the connection determination between decision making and emotional intelligence. The information is collected from the only related persons in the private organization.
Emotional intelligence has a critical role in the many features of the leaders. For instance, effectively making decisions for the company or the organization is one of the most critical roles of emotional intelligence. Strong emotions help the leaders of the organization in making the necessary decisions effectively to provide emotional and cognitive components (Nagar, 2015, p.134)
The employees are the ones that are being studied and make up the fundamental population target as the respondents for the questionnaires. The employees will be asked the questions that are relevant to the application of emotional intelligence of the leaders in the organization, and determining either they are feeling the impact of emotional intelligence level on the management decisions quality that the organization or the company adopts. The answers for the questions will be in many formats where the respondents have the privilege to choose id they agree strongly, agree, unbiased, or whether they are doesn’t agree strongly or contradict with the questionnaires.
3.2.2 Sample design and survey design
The most appropriate design method for sampling of the study is the probability sampling. Probability sampling is the most suitable since it makes sure that the respondents are chosen randomly without any presence of biasness (Harvard Business Review, 2015). The procedure makes sure that there are fewer or no opportunities of bias in the respondents’ representation so that the frequency distribution and the data collected for the research are close as possible to their nature of occurring. The advantage is that the results obtained can be generally used to represent all of the residents from Harvard (Business Review, 2015).
The data which is collected as the information relevant to the study in such a case include the following: the outcome of the emotional intelligence on the management decision quality. It also includes the determination of the emotional intelligence level amongst the leaders of the company or organization and also the determination of the management decision quality, the awareness of the leaders on the emotional intelligence effectiveness on the management decision quality. Hence, it is greatly advisable to collect the primary data. The common data collection is the primary method of data collection (Harvard Business Review, 2015). As mention earlier, the responses are mainly designed for the determination either if the respondents agree strongly, agree, unbiased, or whether they are doesn’t agree strongly or contradict with the strategies of incentives that their company is applying.
3.2.3Data collection technology
Based on the significant information for the study, the data which is collected for the determination of the relationship existing between the emotional intelligence level to the management decision quality mainly used a range of one hundred and fifty to two hundred employees for the sample. The information which was collected measured the staff reactions on the intelligence level and the impacts on the quality of the decision. The response from the staff was collected for two hundred respondents that are working in Saudi Arabia’s private organization.
For the study, the primary data was collected using questionnaires as a method of data collection (Goetsch& Davis, 2014). The questionnaires are managed digitally using the Google Docs and are formatted and designed in a way that each and every respondent can only participate once: there are no other chances for different submissions. The questions for the questionnaires are designed for identification of the various variables on the basis of the outcomes of emotional intelligence on the administrative decision quality found in the private organization in the Saudi Arabia kingdom. In each and every section in the questionnaires, the respondents are needed to mark appropriately each area. They are given many options that are closed about either if they agree strongly, agree, unbiased, or whether they are doesn’t agree strongly or contradict the case that is presented on the sections of the questionnaire.
3.2.4Data Analysis Technology
Data analysis in this study includes sorting, grading, and coding responses collected from respondents (Harvard Business Review, 2015). The data collected from the questionnaires was cleaned for consistency, quality and accuracy before coding and scheduling for final analysis. The data was imported into the Social Sciences Statistical Package (SPSS) program to achieve descriptive statistics. Results are presented using pie charts, graphs, tables and graphs to facilitate interpretation and recommendations.
3.2.5Test hypothesis, statistic, reliability, and frequency
The final response coming from the various respondents are referred as strong, agree, neutral, disagree, and vary strongly. Each response from the respondent is treated as a final variable on the basis of the qualitative analysis. According to statistics therefore, there is a huge difficulty in the visualization of the final variables from each question derived from each section of the questionnaire. In consequence, it is important to start the computation of the final variables based on whether or not the respondent is agreeing with the significant determinants or whether the respondents are having the motivation strategies. In this fashion, the value for the symbol can be placed in a scale running from one to five, with one representing varying strongly and five representing strongly agreeing.
They result found from each and every section of the questionnaire, on the basis of the computed values of the final variables, gives us an ideal opportunity to cater for the hypothesis by the determination whether rejection or failure to reject the below null hypothesis:
There is no statistically important relationship existing between the emotional intelligence and the management decision quality in the private organization found in the Saudi Arabia Kingdom.
There are no statistically important differences that are existing in the response of the respondents to emotional intelligence because of the variables such as age, gender, the title of the job and years of experience.
There are no statistically important differences that are existing in the responses of the respondents concerning the quality of the administrative decision simply because of the variables such as age, gender, the title of the job and years of experience.
The credibility of the collected information depends on the specific characteristics of the demography such as age, gender and level of education. of the respondent (Goetsch& Davis, 2014). There must be a great number of respondents of acceptable age with the appropriate level of education so that the questions in the questionnaires are responded effectively (Harvard Business Review, 2015). Furthermore, the pervasiveness of these properties is crucial in matters of representation. The representation or distribution of each property category is considered an indicator of the normal distribution represented by the natural frequency distribution curve that helps in the testing of the frequency (Goetsch& Davis, 2014). This kind of testing makes sure that the respondents and sample size do not represent any form of bias which makes the results more credible or reliable to use for the entire population representation.
3.2.6 Ethical Consideration
A basic ethical consideration when having this study is to make sure that the respondents are much aware or acknowledge the topic of the research (Grebel, 2011). This will make it much easier to request for their involvement in the participation in the research as a respondent. It is also significant to inform the respondent there is a reservation of their right to privacy. Under no circumstances will the personal information of the respondent shared with a third party if and only if the information demanded is somehow related to children’s torture, killing or suicide (Grebel, 2011). Furthermore, it is critical for the respondent to be informed that it is the responsibility of the researcher to maintain their personal information.
