Abstract
The aim of this research is to investigate the effects of emotional intelligence on the quality of investors' decision-making at Tehran Stock exchange market. The sample decision-makers who were stock brokers and analyzers were examined by both "emotional intelligence test" and "decision-making quality test".
The data obtained was analyzed by the diagnostic test and indicated that Self-motivation and agreement had positive meaningful influence on the quality of decision-making and the relation management had negative meaningful influence on the quality of decision-making. Other results show that self-consciousness and self-management had no meaningful influences on the quality of decision-making. Likewise, there was no meaningful relation between the emotional intelligence and the quality of decision-making of the investors.
