Emotional intelligence is a set of abilities that allows an individual to recognize, express, evaluate and understand other people’s emotions to control their actions and thinking. Emotional intelligence as a concept in the current competitive world has become very popular. Thus many organizations have resorted to EI as a key ingredient in harvesting employee’s behaviors and positive attitudes. Employee commitment, customer satisfaction, and financial rewards can be gauged using Emotional intelligence. Hence emotional intelligence is a multidimensional concept that covers, social and cultural intelligence which is a key ingredient in the success of an organization. Emotional intelligence has four major dimensions; managing emotions, self-awareness, handling relationships, and individual motivation. Self-awareness is a key EI concept majors on the determinants and repercussions of emotions and moods and their evolution over time.
Nevertheless, EI has various impacts on the management’s ability to enhance employee performance and job satisfaction. Job satisfaction is the individual’s cognitive ability to evaluate reactions towards their job, either positive or negative. Job satisfaction is greatly associated with individual emotional intelligence. Individuals with high EI are more time effective at work, highly satisfied; engage in less absenteeism and lower turnover ( Altındağ & Kösedağı, 2015). Thus, they are easily appraised and regulate their other individual’s feelings hence positively impacting job satisfaction and morale. On the other hand employees with low EI find it hard in understanding, regulating and managing their emotions in cases of complex situations. This, in turn, leads to reduced morale, increased negative feelings, and stress and reduced job performance levels. Relationship management as a concept has an overall impact on employee performance. This is because emotional management is key in creating a positive working environment thus increasing performance and commitment. The organization should then support its employees by creating a good working environment thus reducing dissatisfaction and creating loyalty and improving retention.
Motivation is the positive or pleasurable state of emotion that comes as a result of the appraisal of individual job experience. Work-related appraisals can invoke a positive or negative emotional reaction from an employee. A positive remark would hence reflect employee satisfaction and bad remark indicate dissatisfaction. Motivation In terms of reward or recognition would then give an employee a desire to do better (Shields et al., 2015). There e ...

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Recent research says that an individual faces approximately
twenty thousand moments (a period of few seconds in which
the brain records an experience – positive, negative or
neutral) in a day. Cumulative balance of these experiences
determines the quality of a day. Emotions, hence, definitely
affect productivity.
Highs and lows are experienced with or without reason. A

Emotion is an imperious influence in every facet of life and cannot be dislodged from organizations. The
effect of emotion is hence very visibly seen on productivity. It is a strong intrinsic factor that has the power
to inspire an employee’s willingness to excel. It affects individual productivity, which cumulatively affects
the organization at large. Employees are hence required to master the art of regulating their own
emotions and use them effectively so as to sustain soaring productivity and ensure organizational growth.
Thus, in this highly turbulent environment it is imperative to control and direct emotions to protract
productivity and create paramount excellence in the organization.

Some organizations choose to prominently display data signifying progress made against target.
When there is excellent progress, watching hard work pay off creates positive emotions within
employees.

IMPORTANCE OF EMOTIONS
IN THE CORPORATE WORLD
While discussing this topic with my eleven year old son Aman, I was told, “Things can
never be black or white, there has got to be some grey.” I was stunned by his intelligent
remark, and incredibly proud of him.
When you hire a person, you hire the whole package, including emotions. We often
categorize our feelings into emotions, moods and dispositions. We feel short-term
responses to stimuli are emotions, while moods generally last longer. Additionally, we
bucket a person’s overall approach to life as a personality or trait.
In the corporate world, it is strictly unprofessional to express emotions. Yet, professionals
are expected to demonstrate passion towards their work. The disconnect lies here. It’s
equivalent to desiring one side of a coin and discarding the other.
The reality is that emotion is reflected in every aspect of our lives. We can’t deny it. The
focus should not be on suppressing emotions, it should be on creating a work environment
where positive emotions flourish. This can happen by selecting employees that are in sync
with the organization’s values, creating an environment of trust and collaboration. In such
an environment, it is easy for employees to remain positive and passionate towards work.
Positive emotions create a participative and inclusive range of behaviours with a win-win
outcome. Research around this topic has suggested that positive professionals tend to do
better at the workplace. They show high levels of cognitive ability, focus, accuracy and
innovation.
Shikhar Dhawan, who recently took the world of cricket by storm, is a perfect example, as
he overcame negative emotions and did not let it affect his hunger of achieving goals.
Positivity and a will to win was all it took.
channelizing emotions in a positive way becomes a pre requisite to let productivity flourish.
Employee engagement activities come into play in this scenario, to pep up employee
emotions. Learning from cricket teams, employees in an organization should be trained on
how to handle failures and critical incidents whilst maintaining the positivity within.
Emotions at the workplace cannot be controlled, however, the way emotions are handled
can. Creating autonomous structures and concentrating largely on employee engagement
programmes embellish positive emotions at the workplace, which in turn determine
success.

FOUNDER’S ARTICLE
Niket Karajagi
ROLE OF EMOTIONS IN BUILDING EFFECTIVE TEAMS
Team performance is a function of collective energy. This force is represented by different
sentiment of each member. A negative emotion always pulls the overall power of the
team down. Thus, it is important that managers keep a watch on emotional health of the
team in order to achieve superlative performance. The warmth factor in the team is of
utmost importance.
The problem is managers rely only on competence as a strategy to achieve results.
Excessive focus on competence creates rivalry within the team, which creates negative
emotions. Typical feelings that bring performance levels down are frustration, anger,
boredom, jealousy, fear etc.
These emotions must be transformed into happiness, which triggers creative forces
within the team. Fear, for long has been used as a strategy to derive performance but it
has failed to deliver any outcomes.
Emotional engagement with the manager has a correlation to the employee’s
engagement with the organization. Thus, it becomes important to select managers
carefully. Disengagement in the team is mostly an outcome of poor relationships with
the manager.
Performance enhancement thus, is a function of competence building within the team,
along with focus on building positive emotions within the group.
Some aspects of building good emotions and deriving illustrious performance are
indicated below:
Focus on creation of trust and creative collaboration in the team. Always concentrate
on building informal networks. Too much of formal conversation and e-mails deteriorates
energy levels and engagements.
Focus on attitudes and motives of members. Immoral motives will always annihilate
the engagement levels.
Clean the team on toxic employees consistently; they create noise and bring energy.
