; University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce. Journal Editorial OfficeEmotional Intelligence is an important factor that enhances people’s life accomplishments and work. Buddhism embraces a similar concept of emotional intelligence and the psychological perspectives are that emotional intelligence can be developed, and such a person will be the more mentally complete in terms of intelligence, knowledge and ethics, be morally upright and able to live happily together with others. However, there are differences in terms of profoundness. That is, in Buddhism, the intellect oversees the emotion in almost all moral matters, and does not only emphasize, it also suggests the use of intelligence and wisdom in managing emotion diligently and strongly. Whereas, the psychological view is that emotional intelligence represents personal power encouraging the different abilities such as the information perception ability, trustworthiness and creativity. These all influence living. The emotion stimulates our body to use the intellect for the highest benefit; having reasonable thoughts, adjusting to the environment and expressing our needs, including being accepted by other people. Therefore, Buddhism and psychology both have a body of knowledge that benefits and develops the human emotional intelligence in all its dimensions and potential. This article, thus, aims at presenting the combination of Buddhism and psychology to develop and enhance emotional intelligence, which is human capital according to the sufficiency principle and has a depth of immunity against change and the effect of globalization, leading to a happy society.28 72 - PublicationThe Buddha’s Method of Teaching Ethics(Chulalongkorn University Printing House, 2009)

; University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce. School of BusinessThis study is concerned with the linkage between a Buddhist view of leadership and the primal leadership based on emotional intelligence. While previous studies of leadership have focused on leadership theories influenced by North American studies, the present study demonstrates that it is necessary to take the influence of cultural, historical and social structure into account. Therefore, the linkage is done though a nationwide community project called ‚One tambon, one product‛ – OTOP in Thailand. The findings of the OTOP project with respect to leadership are compared and contrasted according to Buddhist view and primal leadership approach. To support the aim, this study uses two main qualitative methods of data collection which are in-depth semi-structured interviews and a focus group. These two methods offer insight and help to explore unexpected phenomena and the complexity of leadership. The results and analysis lead to the conclusion that primal leadership is closely related to the Buddhist view of leadership. Based on the findings there are two stages of EI and leadership involved helping oneself and helping others. The model of EI and leadership developed from this study can potentially enable leaders and their subordinates to have a better understanding of the qualities, structure, boundaries and processes of leadership. It helps leaders and their participants to identify and pinpoint the qualities and values that they may need to develop and change, which may be useful in alternative settings or other contexts.15 150
