Abstract

Dalam beberapa periode terakhir, investasi teknologi informasi (TI) telah menjadi faktor krusial bagi daya saing perusahaan di sektor kimia konstruksi, namun keberhasilannya tidak hanya ditentukan oleh kelayakan teknis dan finansial, melainkan juga oleh kecerdasan emosional (emotional intelligence/EI) pemimpin pria yang mendominasi posisi pengambilan keputusan strategis. Penelitian ini menganalisis peran EI pemimpin pria terhadap perbedaan perilaku dan kualitas keputusan investasi TI di perusahaan sektor kimia konstruksi di Pulau Jawa. Pendekatan kualitatif fenomenologi digunakan dengan wawancara mendalam terhadap enam informan yang dikategorikan berdasarkan tingkat EI tinggi, sedang, dan rendah melalui instrumen Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SREIT). Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis spiral dan divalidasi melalui triangulasi sumber data, teknik pengumpulan, serta waktu. Kualitas keputusan diukur menggunakan kerangka Decision Quality Slider pada keenam dimensinya. Hasil menunjukkan EI secara konsisten memengaruhi gaya kepemimpinan dan kualitas keputusan investasi TI, di mana informan EI tinggi mencapai skor 94,33% dan 77,67%, informan EI sedang keduanya berada pada angka 74,89%, serta informan EI rendah memperoleh skor 66,56% dan 58,22%. Pemimpin dengan EI tinggi juga menunjukkan orientasi transformasional lebih kuat, pengelolaan risiko lebih terstruktur, serta pertimbangan nilai dan trade-off yang lebih efektif. Temuan ini memberikan implikasi praktis bagi perusahaan kimia konstruksi dalam merancang seleksi dan pengembangan pemimpin yang lebih komprehensif guna mendukung keberhasilan transformasi digital.

Over the last periods, information technology (IT) investment has become a critical factor for competitiveness in the chemical construction sector, however, its success is not determined solely by technical or financial feasibility, but also by the emotional intelligence (EI) of male leaders who dominate strategic decision-making positions. This research analyzes male leaders' EI role in decision-making behavior and IT investment decision quality at chemical construction companies in Java. A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed using in-depth interviews with six male leader informants categorized into high, medium, and low EI groups based on the Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SREIT). Data were analyzed through spiral analysis and validated via data source, collection technique, and time triangulation. Decision quality was measured using the Decision Quality Slider across its six dimensions. Findings show EI consistently influences leadership style and decision quality, where high-EI informants achieved scores of 94.33% and 77.67%, medium-EI informants both stood at 74.89%, and low-EI informants obtained 66.56% and 58.22%. High-EI leaders also demonstrated stronger transformational orientations, more structured risk management, and more effective consideration of values and trade-offs. These findings provide practical implications for chemical construction companies in designing more comprehensive leader selection and development criteria to support the success of digital transformation.
