Abstract
Emotional intelligence and institutional culture are considered as crucial factors of effectiveness for any organization. Researchers are keenly and constantly studying these factors for the last three decades. The study of institutional culture continues to gain increasing eminence. Emotional Intelligence helps Institutional leaders to cultivate such an institutional culture that produces organizational effectiveness. The objective of the current study was to investigate the effect of Institutional Culture on the Emotional Intelligence of HEI’s Students. The universities were selected from one of the countries of South Asian developing region i.e. Pakistan. The study sampled 598 respondents from the department of management and social sciences of the HEIs of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The result was obtained using statistical calculations through Pearson’s correlation and regression analysis. Therefore, the study found a strong positive relationship between institutional culture and emotional intelligence. The study offers significant recommendations for concerned institutions.

Introduction
As educational organizations endure to persist in today’s competitive business world, it is required that they have the capable administrators, teachers, students and employees, and they try to retain skilled workers and employees in the organizations. In addition to retention issues of employees, professional development of qualified managers relies on the emotional abilities along with the intellectual abilities. Futurologist Albin Toffler (2012) argues that the society of the future will become a knowledge-based society, combining with symbolic creativity and imagination based on emotions. Moreover, he claims that the problems that cannot be resolved systemically will become more frequent. Thus, emotions based on interactive bond elements including affection, belief, and hope must be understood well. Considering this, it is becoming farther essential to cope with the problems of emotion. Prevailing relationship management has recognized the shift to an age of emotional intelligence in the office and its ability to enhance the value of life and esteem for employees. “Emotional intelligence” refers to the skill to recognize one’s personal and others' emotions, to use emotion to facilitate the performance, to understand knowledge about the emotions, and to control one’s personal and others' emotions. The concept of expressive intellect has a very important influence in the field of management. So, in recent years, researchers in the field of an organization have been progressively involved in the topic of emotional intelligence. Boyatzis, Goleman, and Rhee argued that “If you want to promote a more competitive of Emotional intelligence, heighten compatibility such as Institutional culture, structure, strategy and environmental factors of organization” (Boyatzis, Goleman, and Rhee 2000). Emotional intelligence can be developed significantly through training and experience, although this process is not easy Thus, it is useful to aspect at the demographic variables of emotional intelligence and determine the way of maximizing effectiveness of EI through well-matched ecological features of an association. EI is an imperative factor in attaining high accomplishment in businesses, as shown in existing research. Thus, this study aims to inspect the effects of Institutional culture on emotional intelligence.
Literature Review
This part of the present study throws light upon the earlier studies conducted in the interest of elaborating emotional intelligence and its link with all social settings of an individual. This portion also weaves the theoretical framework that strengthens this research work based on the originality and authenticity. Furthermore, it renders the conceptual framework of this study that provides it a strong and meaningful foundation bearing its whole skeleton. The review proceeds as follows:
Emotional Intelligence
The notion of EI related itself with the abilities of a person to comprehend his/her sentiments and emotions of others. In the modern era, the term “Emotional Intelligence “is very familiar for all researchers particularly emphasizing “self-awareness and self-efficacy “so it has deep-rooted in personality disciplines, sociology, psychology. Mayer, Salovey and Caruso (2003) elucidated the concept of EI that emerged from their related published studies identifying emotional disorders about paints, expressions and drawings where they (2003) analysed the feelings by reports. Consequently, Emotional Intelligence was considered in the group of oral, intellectual and societal intelligence. Later, relational and intrapersonal communications came into view as Emotional Intelligence. Hence, the idea of various aptitudes started considering other intellects with the except for cognitive intelligence.
The scholars of the most recent past concluded that emotional stability secures a successful life. Thus, it enables a person to cope with his/her domestic or professional problems successfully. Consequently, the significance of emotional intelligence rises as humans proceed ahead in their life. Emotional intelligence is a mandatory part of our life because nobody is emotionless (Katyal & Awasthi, 2005). Similarly, literature is evident that emotional behaviour plays an important role in adapting societal and emotive capabilities. (Mayer, Salovey & Caruso, 2003)
Hence, EI leads personal and social skills which improve the performance in workplace. Improvement in the performance at workplace creates creativity in people toward better result. (Lopes, 2004). Lope also illustrated the construct of EI is not only deals with their own emotions but in the light of EI management, it also develops the relationship of others (lope 2004), as parents with siblings, as friends with friendly relations. Lope support the Goleman (1995) that, recognition of emotions of others direct a person toward the precise and timely determinations that end at achievement. In nutshell, a person who is emotionally intelligent can generate a society of achievement and coherence that decreases anxiety amongst individuals.
Cummings-Hypolite (2011) concluded that self-control in a tutorial room improves the presentation of pupils. This discipline springs out from emotional solidity because it demolishes the opportunities of students' disorderly conduct that also lies under the umbrella of the emotional intelligence. So, emotionally stable students want to stay at peace and harmony with the learning activities. EI plays a very important role in educational settings, Rees, Lewis and Bleakley (2005) focused on the utility of EI in the educational sector to attain successful achievement. They believe that emotions convey and render the real inner of a person. Thus, they are a vital source of gathering information about him/her. In this way, numerous educational problems can be solved on the basis of that information.
Kulkarni, Janakiram and Kumar (2009) elucidate emotional intelligence taking support from “Goleman's Model” of EI rendered in 1995. So, emotional intelligence has various methods and patterns in routine. This model depicts the following sub-scales strengthening the concept of emotional intelligence on a broader viewpoint.
Dimensions of Emotional intelligence.
Self-Awareness
Self-awareness represents an individual's capability of being aware and conscious about himself/herself and responsive extent that he/she can respond positively to his/her fellow-beings as well as surroundings. Goleman's model (1995) illustrates that emotional stability is a vital factor affecting the success of human beings. Thus, a person with considerable self-awareness manages and regulates his/her emotions successfully in every situation. Self-awareness leads to the expressive gratitude that is vibrant in emotive firmness and it gives a human to take right in life expectancy (Kulkarni, Janakiram, & Kumar, 2009).
Self-Management
Callahan and Sadeghi (2013) stated that an individual having enough self-awareness becomes efficient in self-management. Hence, the encounters at the stage of becoming known to himself/herself enable him/her to cope with difficulties at the stage of self-management. It generates a fundamental distinction between an unsuccessful and productive individual. It is divided into other sub-classes like transparency, self-control, adaptability, initiative and achievement drive. Self-control directs a person to adopt in a social context appropriate method to communicate his/her feelings in any state. Likewise, transparency renders a person identifying his/her emotions objectively. Similarly, adaptability refers to the suitability of modifications accruing around the person, which affects the emotions ofthe person. In the same way, achievement drive materializes an inclination to meet difficult tasks in an extremely efficient way and the idea is carried in such circumstances when any obstacle or trouble happens in the path of achievement, some needs to handle it confidently.
Social-Awareness
Social-awareness enables a person to settle himself/herself in his/her private and professional life cooperating with others and formulating a coherent society. In this situation, everyone needs to understand regarding feelings of others in various circumstances and regard them. Goleman's model of emotional intelligence provides compassion, managerial understanding and amenity training as the sub-classes of awareness. Hence, compassion gives individuals nearer to one another makes a person understand others' emotions maintaining himself/herself in the framework of involvement of that individual and thus, reduces distance among people. While organizational familiarity and maintenance alignment make a person follow the norms and values of a society in an organized way rendering his/her part taking it as his/her duty while presenting serviceable nature that accelerates the empathy with other fellow-beings (Dorsey, 2015).
Relationship Management
Stein and Book (2011) affirm that emotional intelligence enables a person to grow associations and retain them successfully for an extended period valuing them as a need for his/her social survival. Thus, an emotionally stable helps others to outshine in life by communicating his/her expertise, familiarity and skills with them. Resultantly, he/she becomes a very inspiring and highly charismatic personality that is expected to bring about reforms in society. His/her followers are not assured to track but they abide by eagerly. They do the ideas and put cooperative exertions to attain them. Accordingly, such a powerful manager can grip any demanding situation simply with sustenance of his/her followers. In all groups, there are pressure groupings they attempt to generate battles amongst groupings or persons, but he/she knows that struggles determination is essential for the growth. In this way, an ardently balanced management can acquire an explanation of disputes effortlessly. Despite all disputes, collaboration becomes a need of all members of organizations for the achievement of a shared vision. In this way, an emotionally intelligent person lives successfully in his/her personal as well as professional domains by managing his/her consanguinity as well as his/her terms with his/her colleagues. Hence, an emotionally intelligent person sets a good example of significant and momentous relationship management.
Institutional Culture
Institutional culture has always been a subject of great significance for the researchers; some take culture as 'glue' which sticks an organization firmly while some others believe that it serves as a 'compass', conceived to provide it with certain directions and course of actions. It formulates the overall working environment of an organization that operates and executes its values and standards (Yasin, Alavi, & Zimmerer, 2002). Denison and his comrades Mishra and Neale developed a model over the past twenty years after a strenuous struggle to understand the IC as a phenomenon. Hence, Denison Model comprises of four elements, i.e., mission, adaptability, consistency and involvement, and two aspects; i.e., inner emphasis and exterior emphasis; hence, the former is among the participation and constancy implying that a positive group may have the whole emphasis on interior structures to type them steady and to familiarize vicissitudes of the marketplace while the latter is amid flexibility and assignment that suggests that a fruitful group may pay consideration to the alteration happening in the civilization and mold the job of the association consequently. However, all its elements are suggested to cover various facets of the Institutional culture. For instance, purpose implies to the innovative attitude of the association accentuating personal information about the organizational members, their backgrounds and ambitions particularly. Adaptability, on the other hand, insinuates towards the alterations and their concentration in the group considering day by day changing the need of the market to meet business challenges. Likewise, consistency emphasizes fundamental principles and philosophies creating an exclusive uniqueness for the association to formulate strong values in order to create strong culture. Similarly, the quarter part of the model, participation keeps an eye on all the members of the organization monitoring and evaluating their involvement in the process of attaining the organizational goals (Denison, Lief & Ward, 2004).
Dimensions of Institutional Culture
For last many decades, institutional culture is being studied in different fields. There are some well-known researchers in the domain of IC. Denison’s Framework is one of the best model in this regard. Yilmaz (2008) states that Denison framework is an underlying assumption, believes, values that signify the greatest level of institutional culture. This framework is categorized in 04 cultural characteristics, as follows.
Involvement
Involvement of people builds a strong relationship between organizations and employee. Operative organizations give power to their employee, develop human capability around all levels of organization. (Lawler, 1996) employee, leaders, managers feel them the important part of an organization, they are more committed to their job. Whereas, a job is directly related to achieving objectives of organizations.so it has significant effect on organizations outcomes.
Consistency
Effective organizations build their culture more stable, nicely integrated and highly organized (Davenport, 1993; Saffold, 1988). Values and beliefs are most powerful forces develop skilled behaviors of the employee, leaders, subordinates, at reaching on constructive conclusions where diverse opinions occurr so constancy is the more influential basis of constancy and addition that similar and shared thinking are developed and extreme grade of conformism (Senge, 1993).
Adaptability
Paradoxically, corporations that are nicely incorporated are frequently the extremely challenging ones to alter (Kanter, 1983). Domestic assimilation and peripheral adjustment can regularly be at probabilities. Flexible businesses are determined by their clients, take perils and discover from their errors, and have expertise and knowledge at establishing change over (Senge, 1990; Nadler, 1998). They are constantly altering the structure so that they are enhancing the governments’ mutual capabilities to deliver value for their clients (Stalk, 1988).
Mission
Effective groups have a strong direction to define strategic goals to align with the vision of successful organizations as where the association will reach in the forthcoming era. (Mintzberg; 1994; Hamel & Prahalad, 1994; Ohmae, 1982). This study aims to examine the effect of IC on EI. Denison’s model recommends that governments with a greater collective amount of the 04 culture characteristics showing greater amounts of performing which the situation is the consequence of performing controlling. Consequently, we hypothesize that
H1: Institutional Culture with dimensions (involvement, consistency, adaptability, and mission) has significant effect on emotional intelligence (self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management) of HEI Students.
Theoretical framework
Fig. 1. Conceptual Model
Many theories have discussed the institutional culture phenomena and argued how IC influence on the efficacy of groups. In this research study researcher used the framework of “Denison model of organizational culture” to assess the institutional culture of the university. He developed a model over the past twenty years after a strenuous struggle to understand the IC as a phenomenon. Hence, Denison Model comprises of four elements, i.e., mission, adaptability, consistency and involvement, and two aspects; i.e., inner emphasis and exterior emphasis; hence, the former is amongst the participation and constancy implying that a positive group may have the whole emphasis on interior structures to make them consistent and to familiarize vicissitudes of the market while the latter is amid flexibility and assignment that implies that a positive group may pay consideration to the modification happening in the civilization and mold the job of the group consequently. Another theory used in this research is Goleman (1995) that is known as the best theory of Goleman to assess Emotional Intelligence. The notion of EI related itself with the abilities of an idiosyncratic to comprehend his emotions and feelings of others. This model categorizes EI and I in 04 characteristics each as depicted in the above model.

CorrelationAnalysis
The Pearson correlation coefficient was determined to measure the level of association among the variables of IC and EI. The correlation coefficient is always between +1 and -1. The value near to +1 or -1 indicates a negative and positive association among variables and the value closer to zero indicates the weak relationship. Correlation determines the strength of the relationship and direction of the relationship. The correlationcoefficientisdesignatedby(r)andthepathoftheassociationamongthevariableisdeterminedby the sign of the correlation coefficient (Hair et al., 2010; Pallant, 2010). The results of Pearson correlation analysis between dimensions of institutional culture and emotional intelligence are shown in Table 4.5:

This training will make them aware about importance of relations in life. Different types of opportunities may be provided to the students for improvement of emotional intelligence like faculty members may encourage students for group work, discussions in the class room and provide them an opportunity to take part in decision making like classroom decisions, selection of research topics, selection of optional subjects in order to express themselves and to be aware of the opinion of others. Universities may create a culture of motivation, encouragement, appreciation and cooperation so that students may be involved in activities within the university and improve their culture. Universities may hire emotionally stable faculty members as the teacher influence students in all aspects of personality. The emotional assessment test may be added in the tests for the recruitment process.
