It is highly important to identify the factors influencing the observations of ethical values by players and coaches in small and great events. Therefore, the present research is to examin the relation between emotional intelligence and ethical decision-making among soccer coaches in Tehran. This research is descriptive- co relational, and is conducted in the field. The subjects of this study were all the coaches of the Premier League in Tehran soccer (Tehran Vision) in 1394 which includes 62 people.
The tools employed included standard questionnaires of decision-making in Caswell’s (2003) difficult situations, and Lan et al’s (2009) emotional intelligence questionnaire. The data were analyzed through Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression tests. The results showed that there is a positive, significant correlation between all the subscales of emotional intelligence and the ethical decision-making of the coaches. Finally, the results of the regression showed that emotional intelligence and self-regulation subscales and optimism can anticipate the ethical decision-making of the coaches.
