  ABSTRACT: As the number of projects increase in diverse fields, so the demand for effective project managers increases. In the United Arab Emirates, the recent exponential growth has resulted in increased projects. However, determining an individual who would make an effective project manager continues to be a challenge. In this study, the correlation between emotional intelligence and project success was explored. Initially, valuable secondary research was carried out to point out the main features a project manager with high Emotional Intelligence (EI) exhibits followed by proof of correlation between those features and an above average EI score. An online survey was administered to fifteen project managers to collect data concerning their emotional intelligence and the success of their projects. According to the findings, emotional intelligence correlates strongly with project success. Consequently, this study recommends that organizations should hire emotionally intelligent project managers to ensure project management success.
