Chapter Chapter 7 in Work-life Integration in Africa, 2021, pp 113-132 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The chapter discusses the role of leadership behavior in creating work climates that influence the achievement of work–life integration. It positions leadership behavior as a product of leadership motive and mindset and advocates the incorporation of these variables into the development of leadership behavior. The chapter also reviews the role of employees’ and leaders’ Emotional Intelligence in the management of work–life integration. Employees’ emotional intelligence directly affects how they manage work–life integration, while leaders’ emotional intelligence affects employees’ emotional intelligence and creates an environment that either supports or deters employees’ efforts in achieving work–life integration. The chapter postulates that emotional intelligence is not hereditary and so its development must be encouraged. A major development of the chapter is the categorization of leadership behavior and establishment of the type that can continuously create the needed climate to drive the management of work–life integration.
