EBSCOhost: Ask-A-Librarian
Question: Good evening,
I am looking for scholarly articles on organizational leadership that correlates with emotional intelligence and toxic leadership.
I am struggling finding relevant articles in the ebsco hosts. I have signed up for the class on Monday to help learn how to use the system.
I would very much appreciate any assistance you may offer.
Thank you so much for your help in advance.

Answer
Hello Kelly
I would suggest that you combine the following databases when you go to do your search in Ebscohost by checking the boxes next to them: PsychArticles., Social Science Index FT, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, Business Source Premier and Education Research Complete. Make sure that before you conduct your search you check the boxes below the searchbox for peer-reviewed and full-text articles. I did some searches and combine the terms emotional intelligence AND organizational leadership and found 96 full-text articles when I did my search. I also did a search combining toxic AND leadership behaviors and got 6 full-text articles; and then just used Toxic leadership alone as a search term and got 38 articles. I would also try organizational leadership AND toxic leadership as a search. When I did it, I found only 3 full-text articles when I did my search.
You are welcome to replicate my searches and see if you find any articles that you can use for your papers from any of them. You really need to be willing to change your search terms and combine different sets of synonyms if you want to find articles that you can use.
if you need any further assistance, please call me at 785-248-2536.
