UNDERSTANDING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL COMPONENTS OF MANAGERIAL ABILITY

Abstract

Managerial ability, a multifaceted construct crucial for effective organizational functioning, is influenced by various psychological components. This article aims to explore and elucidate the psychological factors that contribute to managerial ability. Drawing upon existing literature and empirical evidence, we discuss the key psychological components, including emotional intelligence, cognitive flexibility, leadership style, decision-making skills, and stress management. Understanding these components not only enhances our comprehension of managerial effectiveness but also provides insights for improving managerial training and selection processes. By integrating psychological principles into the study of managerial ability, organizations can foster better leadership practices and optimize organizational performance.
