Introduction
Emotional intelligence can help managers understand employees' diverse needs hence
guiding them to develop a relevant reward system for every team member. Emotional
intelligence is the capability to understand and control one’s emotions and read those of others. It
can help an individual communicate effectively and empathize with others. Employees are the
core pillars of an organization. A company’s success in this era of intense competition heavily
relies on its employees’ capability to innovate and apply available resources cautiously to deliver
quality products and services. To attract and retain employees that can go beyond their job
description scope to solve daily challenges and satisfy clients, managers need to build and
enhance employee satisfaction. Workforce productivity is not only dependent on skill set but also
on an individuals’ passion for the job and working environment. Research indicates that happy
employees yield better results. Financial compensation is a suitable incentive for motivating
employees but cannot always quarantine employee retention or satisfaction. Therefore, the
Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) managers need to invest in employee
development programs and organization cultures that motivate employees to do their best and
continuously strive to perform better. Usually, treating employees well makes them develop
interests in the company and their jobs. Emotional intelligence allows managers to understand
workers better and develop suitable organizational cultures that support job satisfaction. The
essay discusses the role of emotional intelligence and reward systems in motivating members.
