The aim of this article is to contribute to the growing body of empirical knowledge on emotional intelligence (EI) generally and EI and employees in particular. This study explores the three dimensions of EI (recognition of personal and social competence, regulation of self and relationship management, and impact of leadership trait in the adoption of EI competencies) in relation to working experience. EI was measured in 110 employees, ages 19-58. EI scores were compared to demographic characteristic of the individuals working experience. A one-way ANOVA showed no significant different within groups of employees working experience and EI. There has been surprisingly little academic and empirical research on the potential influences of organisation tenure on EI. The few available one are from Europe, America and Nigeria. This further supports the importance of the study.
