Construction of fuzzy relational map based on hesitant fuzzy sets with an application to model the causal influence of self-beliefs related to emotional intelligence on leadership

Abstract

Fuzzy Relational Map is a relational structure between two disjoint fuzzy sets. The relation between any two fuzzy sets is represented with a fuzzy set which denotes the edge strength of the relation between the nodes of the sets. This paper proposes a new approach to construct a fuzzy relational map with hesitant fuzzy set, an extension of regular fuzzy set. The hesitant fuzzy relational map is way more effective in capturing the uncertainty of the problem and the hesitancy of the expert than the regular fuzzy relational map. Effective leadership is the guiding force of a civilised society and high-performance institutions. Emotional intelligence capabilities are most closely linked to effective leadership. In this paper, the influence of beliefs and values related to emotional intelligence on effective leadership is studied with Hesitant Fuzzy Relational Map
