This article presents a framework for emotional intelligence, a set of skills hypothesized to contribute to the accurate appraisal and expression of emotion in oneself and in others, the effective regulation of emotion in self and others, and the use of feelings to motivate, plan, and achieve in one's life. We start by reviewing the debate about the adaptive versus maladaptive qualities of emotion. We then explore the literature on intelligence, and especially social intelligence, to examine the place of emotion in traditional intelligence conceptions. A framework for integrating the research on emotion-related skills is then described. Next, we review the components of emotional intelligence. To conclude the review, the role of emotional intelligence in mental health is discussed and avenues for further investigation are suggested.
This study examined antecedents and outcomes of a fourfold taxonomy of work-family balance in terms of the direction of influence (work-family vs. family-work) and type of effect (conflict vs. facilitation). Respondents were full-time employed parents in India. Confirmatory factor analysis results provided evidence for the discriminant validity of M. R. Frone's (2003) fourfold taxonomy of work-family balance. Results of moderated regression analysis revealed that different processes underlie the conflict and facilitation components. Furthermore, gender had only a limited moderating influence on the relationships between the antecedents and the components of work-family balance. Last, work-family facilitation was related to the work outcomes of job satisfaction and organizational commitment.
Many modern management theories and researches deriving therefrom seek those personality features and traits that ought to ensure the efficient development of an individual’s competences. In my research we found out that managers are able to develop top quality management and top quality competences irrespective of their personality traits. Since there is no uniform method that would offer an explanation as to how individuals should develop their competences, we presented how an individual training programme and the development of competences should proceed.However,we can only attain optimum success in training needed competences if we take into consideration individual features of a person, his/her emotional intelligence and the requirements of his/her working environment.What the dynamic and variable working environment expects from a modern leader is a wide range of good or even perfect competences. The article at hand presents the importance of a long-term basis training that has a systematic influence on the improvement of management techniques.
Parents occupy the most important place in the perceptual world of the child, in spite of rapid changes within the modern family, parental disciplining is still considered very essential for building healthy emotionality and personality of the child. It has generally been observed that in addition to genetic factors, child rearing practices playa vital role in the development of a child particularly the disciplining practices are considered more important. The present study was taken up to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence and selected personal social variables in authoritarian parenting style. The sample comprised of 40 parents adopting authoritarian parenting style and their children between the age range of 15-17 years from the city of Visakhapatnam of Andhra Pradesh. The parental interactional style questionnaire developed by Vivekan Reddy (1996) was used to know the authoritarian parenting style adopted by the parents. Emotional intelligence inventory developed and standardized by Uma Devi (2003) was used to find out the emotional intelligence levels of the adolescents. Results of the study revealed that in the authoritarian parenting style, most of the adolescents had average levels of emotional intelligence. It was interesting to note from the co- relational analysis resulted that social variables like mother's education, income and the child's age were found to have positive and significant relationship with the dimensions of emotional intelligence like impulse control and optimism. Surprisingly variables like family type, family size, caste, mother's income and child's birth order had significant but negative relationship with the emotional intelligence dimensions such as assertiveness, self actualization, empathy, reality testing and happiness.
Emotional intelligence is a type of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one's own and others' emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use the information to guide one's thinking and actions (Salovey & Mayer, 1990). We discuss (a) whether intelligence is an appropriate metaphor for the construct, and (b) the abilities and mechanisms that may underlie emotional intelligence. © 1993.
Many leaders and other professionals tend to stick to the realm of facts and intellect when it comes to work and managing people. Emotions are considered "leaky." But new thought contends that people who trust their gut feelings and use them effectively can forge better work relationships, become more productive, and motivate others to accomplish more. Based on this Executive EQ: Emotional Intelligence in Leadership & Organizations, co-written with Ayman Sawaf, Cooper lays out a "new science" for tapping into intuition and other processes that are considered emotion-oriented. But, Cooper cautions, it's not enough just to have emotions. You have to know how to acknowledge and value feelings in yourself and others, and how to respond appropriately to them. That's what it means to use emotional intelligence. A firm, Q-Metrics, has developed two instruments for measuring emotional intelligence-which, Cooper says, is learnable at any age. He contends that by using emotional intelligence you can increase you intuition, you capacity to trust and inspire trust, you sense of integrity and authenticity, your appreciation of constructive discontent, and your ability to find innovative solutions. You will also become a more effective leader. Emotional intelligence can help put you in touch with untapped well-springs of personal and professional growth and creativity. Emotional intelligence also offers profitable information. Cooper identifies three EQ-related forces that drive competitive advantage: building relationships of mutual trust, boosting energy and effectiveness, and creating the future. The article includes exercises for forging trust with co-workers.
The concept of emotional intelligence was examined in relation to the latitude permitted for emotional expressiveness and adaptation to occupational culture in three groups of helping professionals: police officers, child care workers, and educators in mental health care. A total of 167 individuals were administered the Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i). There were no differences in the primary scales measuring various aspects of emotional intelligence between the two groups of care workers. There were differences between a combined care worker grouping and the police officers with the latter seeming more emotionally adaptable than the former. Whilst there were some overall gender differences, there were no gender by occupation interactions. There were also differences in terms of three higher order factors of the EQ-i with police officers achieving higher scores on positive affect and emotional stability than the care workers. Results are discussed in the light of differences in occupational cultures and methodological considerations.
The study investigated whether emotional intelligence (EI) can predict how individuals respond to traumatic experiences. A random sample of 414 participants (181 male, 233 female) were administered a measure of EI along with the Impact of Event Scale--revised [IES-R; Weiss, D. S. & Marmar, C. R. (1997). The Impact of Events Scale--revised. In J.P. Wilson & T.M. Keane (Eds.), Assessing psychological trauma and PTSD (pp. 399-411). New York: Guilford Press], and the monitoring and blunting questionnaire [MBQ, Anxiety Stress Coping 7 (1994) 53]. The results showed that participants with higher NEIS scores report fewer psychological symptoms relating to their traumatic experiences, that monitors are more likely to have higher NEIS scores than blunters. Traumatic events had a greater impact on females than males, and males had higher EI than females. The implications of these findings for using EI as a predictor for individuals who may experience traumatic stress are discussed.
