Description
Summary:The purpose of this qualitative research was to determine whether Canadian pastors in the ministry may be inadequately prepared in skills of emotional intelligence (EI), and if this possible lack of EI preparedness negatively affects their job satisfaction. Twenty Canadian pastors were interviewed and 10 educational programs were analyzed to determine if the utilization of EI positively contributes to pastoral self-efficacy and job satisfaction, and if pastors are trained in EI competencies while attending formal education.
