dc.description.sponsorship In today’s business world, the usage of concept of emotion can be identified as one of most familiar business trends. With the passage of time, the concept of emotion in organization context has been developing from emotional intelligence in individual arena to emotional intelligence in group arena. Though it is considered that emotional intelligence at the group level as an important and fundamental aspect for the success of organization life, few research, theories can be encountered. This creates an issue of growing importance because most employees spend their working hours in groups or teams and many organizations depend on groups and teams in their day to day operations as a primary performing unit. Though Sri Lankan organizations are also practicing teams or groups in their operations, empirical research findings related to group emotional intelligence (GEI) are rare. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to disclose the relationship between group emotional intelligence and team effectiveness in Sri Lankan context. Further group focused EI and cross boundary focused EI as dimensions of GEI and self- awareness, self-regulation, social awareness and social skills respectively under each dimension of GEI were taken in to consideration for this research. This investigation was carried out by 60 shop floor level employees of sawing section in Brandix Essentials (Pvt) Ltd. A structured questionnaire was administered for this study to collect the data. Collected data was analyzed by using SPPS 16 version. Researchers considered the demographic variables (age, designation and length of service) as control variables and found that there was only significant variation in team effectiveness from Designation variable. Therefore, the effect of designation to team effectiveness was controlled. According to the research findings there is a positive relationship between team effectiveness and group emotional intelligence with group focused EI and cross boundary focused EI as dimensions of group emotional intelligence. Further self- awareness, self-regulation, social awareness and social skills under each dimension effected team effectiveness positively. Suggestions for further study and application were also made in the research. en_US
