Abstract

Professionals working in different segments of life either work to achieve some vision or struggle to survive. Those who have set their vision earlier in life may achieve it sooner or later but those who work without setting vision remained either low or under potential achievers. We believe that education, engagement, emotional intelligence and experience in combination with ethical values as mediator plays significant role in success of high achievers. Using convenient sampling technique primary data through self-administered questionnaire was collected from working professionals in GCC. Correlation and regression analysis were used to analyze data. It has been identified that all the selected variables are having significant impact on exceptional executive excellence and ethical values mediates relationship amongst variables. Study findings suggests the professionals to be clear in their career vision and maintain a good balance of positive ethical values, education, rich experience and work engagement to reach at career apex by achieving desired legitimate objectives.
