The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between employees’ emotional intelligence and their perceptions of the organization’s economic performance. The findings indicate a statistically significant yet moderate association between emotional intelligence and economic performance, with distinct patterns of correlation observed across subsamples differentiated by the level of emotional competencies. The results confirm that emotional intelligence in organizations in Serbia provides a limited but meaningful contribution to explaining employees’ economic assessments, with its influence contingent upon individual and organizational conditions.
