Abstract

This research investigates the role of emotional intelligence (EI) among student entrepreneurs at Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM). The study aims to assess the relationship between EI and entrepreneurial leadership, focusing on how entrepreneurial activity status, educational exposure, and family involvement influence EI development. A survey-based approach was adopted, with data collected using a structured questionnaire. The findings reveal that EI significantly enhances students’ ability to manage emotions, build resilience, and foster effective decision-making, all of which are critical for entrepreneurial success. Furthermore, exposure to entrepreneurial education and family involvement were found to have a positive impact on EI. The research underscores the importance of integrating EI training into academic curricula and creating support systems to nurture student entrepreneurs. These insights provide a foundation for future studies and practical recommendations to enhance entrepreneurial outcomes through emotional intelligence development.
