Unfortunately, there is a disagreement about the benefits
of manager’s emotional intelligence in engaging workforce.
According to [7], promotion and financial rewards are the
decisive factors for engaging employees, neither the quality
of supervision nor leader’s emotions. In addition, according
to [8], the quality of supervision does not motivate workers to
feel satisfied and stay loyal to the organization which are the

aspect of supervision quality, the emotional intelligence of
leaders consequently has no benefit in engaging workforce.
The evidences and arguments proposed by those researchers
left an unfavorable question about the applicability of
manager’s emotional intelligence in engaging workforce.
Recognizing the conflicts in the literature review, the
research about the effects of leaders’ emotional intelligence
on employee engagement in Vietnamese construction
companies was conducted to explore deeper about the
applicability of emotional intelligence at workplace. Overall,
the general purpose of this study is to suggest the managers
the way to manipulate their emotional intelligence for
enhancing the employee engagement in their companies.
