Abstract

This paper offers an aggregate view of emotional intelligence (EQ), team dynamics and innovative climate within multicultural teams on international projects in belt and road countries. The main objective is to establish whether there is a mediated relationship between emotional intelligence and team dynamics, through climate for innovation, in order to give recommendations for multicultural project management in belt and road countries. The paper elaborates on the relationships that were found to be vital and significant. Result shows no immediate and obvious mediation effect of climate for innovation on the relationship between emotional intelligence and team dynamics. Conclusion demonstrates that although emotional intelligence has some attributes that can contribute to creating an atmosphere where team dynamics can be more prevalent, it is also not an antecedent to the commitment on multicultural teams.
