What is Emotional Intelligence? At the most basic level, Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability to perceive, understand and manage your emotions and behavior as well as others effectively
Current Issues and Controversies with Diverse EI Measures • Ability Measures • Independent of FFM • Weak convergent validity with other cognitive ability measures • Scoring issues • Confounded with a measure of knowledge • Self-Report (Mixed) Measures of EI and ESC • High correlations with FFM • Limitations of self-report • 360 feedback • Tend to ignore context, situation and setting Cherniss, C. (2009). Emotional Intelligence: Towards Clarification of a Concept. Rutgers University
What Does EI and ESC Predict? • A meta-analysis of 69 studies using diverse measures of EI correlated .23 with job performance (k=19, N=4158) and .22 with general mental ability (Van Rooy & Viswesvaran, 2004) • New research by Joseph & Newman (2010) was based on 21 published meta-analytic studies and new meta-analysis of over 171 studies revealed: • Self-report (mixed) measures and ability based measures do not appear to be assessing the same thing • “Mixed” measures show incremental validity over mental ability and personality measures but it is not clear why • When dealing with high emotional labor jobs, all types of EI/ESC measures exhibit meaningful incremental validity over cognitive validity and personality (weaker or negative for low emotional labor positions) • Ability based EI measures favor women and Whites Joseph, D. & Newman, D. (2010). Emotional intelligence: An integrative meta-analysis and cascading model. Journal of Applied Psychology, 95, 54-78
What Does EI and ESC Predict? • The most comprehensive meta-analysis by O’Boyle et al. included 65% more studies and twice the sample size to estimate EI and job performance outcomes: • Trait, personality and mixed measures demonstrated corrected correlations ranging from 0.24 ti 0.30 with job performance • All measures show incremental validity over mental ability and personality measures O’Boyle, E., Humphrey, R., Pollack, Hawver, T. & Story, P.

EIV360 Psychometrics and Norms • Moderately high internal consistency reliability (Cronbach’s alpha) ranging from .74 to .89 across all 17 competencies • High intercorrelations between competency groups (average r = .91 , p < .01) • Factor analysis suggests a 5 factor solution (Eigen values over 1.0) accounting for over 71% of the variance suggesting that for research purposes an overall EI score may be useful
EIV360 Psychometrics and Norms • North American and European data base contains over 5,500 full time working adults • Diverse job levels from executives to independent contributors and professionals • No significant differences by age • Women score significantly higher on Relationship Management (F = 7.3, p < .01) and Communication (F = 21.1, p < .05) competency groups compared to men in the United States and higher on Communication (F = 5.96, p < .01) competencies only for European samples • Those with higher education degrees report significantly higher Communication EI scores compared to lesser educated participants (F=7.58, p < .01) • African Americans self-report significantly higher EI scores on overall EI, Self-Management and Relationship Management competencies compared to Whites (all p’s , >05) but no other ethnic/cultural differences were found
EIV360 Analysis: Significant Differences by Country ANOVA Overall EIV F (9, 6726) = 21.09, p < .01 Note: USA EIV (N=1,801), SelfMgt.,RelMft, Com Means = 5.60, 5.63, 5.50, 5.66
A Comparison of EI in Leaders in Spain and United States Objective: Explored emotional intelligence in Spanish (740) and US (1,271) leaders in diverse industries. Measures: Emotional Intelligence View 360 Results: Leaders in Spain rated themselves significantly higher on overall emotional intelligence compared to those in the United States as did direct reports (p < .05). In Spain, boss ratings of leaders were significantly lower than self or direct report ratings. No significantly differences between self, manager and direct report ratings were observed in the US sample. Conclusion: In general, leaders in Spain are rated significantly higher by direct reports and perceive themselves to be more emotionally intelligent on the three major areas measured in this study (Self-Management, Relationship Management and Communication).

Executive MBA (EMBA) EI Research Objective: To investigate the change in emotional intelligence with and executive MBA program participating in a 2-year leadership development program as part of their academic curriculum. Measures: Emotional Intelligence View 360 (EIV360) and Talent Accelerator (online developmental and planning and reminder system to support professional action plans). Design: Subjects for this study were full time working executives participating in a 2-year EMBA program. A new leadership curriculum was introduced along with a focus on developmental planning on interpersonal and team competencies. The EIV360 was administered at the beginning of the EMBA program and approximately 18 months later for 110 students. Outcomes: Significant changes were observed for the Relationship Management competency area (F = 4.04, p < .05) but not for self-management, or communication competency areas during the two-year program. These results support the focus on enhancing interpersonal competence of EMBA students during their program. Nowack, K. (2010). Unpublished Manuscript. Envisia Learning, Inc.
EI, Organizational Commitment & Performance Objective: Explored emotional intelligence, organizational commitment with job performance among administrators in Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM ) Malaysis Measures: Management View 360 Questionnaire as an index of job performance, PeopleIndex for emotional intelligence and Organizational Commitment Questionnaire for organizational commitment. Design: The population in the study was 153 administrative managers working at UiTM who completed a comprehensive survey measuring EI, commitment and performance. Results: Job performance was positively related to emotional intelligence (r = .761, p = 0.001) and organizational commitment (r = .366, p = .001). Job performance is positively related to emotional intelligence dimensions: self-management (r = .742, p = 0.001), relationship-management (r = .746, p = .001) and communication (r = .766, p = .001). Overall emotional intelligence was significantly associated with organizational commitment (r = .354, p = .001). Conclusion: Emotional Intelligence was significantly associated with both self-reported organizational commitment and job performance. Yusof, R. (2006).

EI, Learner Autonomy & Performance Objective: Explored emotional intelligence, learner autonomy, retention and academic performance in students enrolled in an adult degree completion program. Measures: PeopleIndex and the learner autonomy intentions measured the Learner Autonomy Profile (LAP) Short Form (SF) were used. Student success was measured by cumulative grade point average (GPA) and retention. Design: 141 nontraditional undergraduates enrolled at a small, private, liberal arts college in the northeastern U.S. completed web-based surveys measuring emotional intelligence and learner autonomy. Results: Emotional intelligence and learner autonomy were positively correlated (r = .486; p = .000; < .01). Two of three emotional intelligence constructs to be predictors of retention but not grade point average. Of the PeopleIndex competency groups, communication (p = .051) and relationship management (p = .022) were the highest predictors of retention. Overall scores on PeopleIndex were the single best predictor of overall learner autonomy. Self-management, but not Communication or Relationship Management was significant predictors of learner autonomy in regression analyses. GPA was not significantly correlated with EI in this study. Conclusion: Emotional Intelligence was significantly associated with both retention and learner autonomy. Buvoltz, K., Powell, F. & Solan, A. (2007).

EI and Transformational Leadership Objective: Explored the relationship between emotional intelligence and transformational leadership. Measures: Emotional Intelligence View 360 and the Multi-Factor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ-36; Avolio & Bass). Design: Surveys were administered to 57 managers in a multinational company within the electronics industry. Results: Transformational leadership scales of the MLQ-36 were significantly associated with Self-Management (r = .93, p < .01), Relationship Management (r = .70, p < .01) but not Communication competencies (r = .52, p = .16). Transactional leadership was significantly correlated with Self-Management (r =.95) but not significantly with Relationship Management (r = .70) or Communication (r = .36). Laissez-Fair leadership was not significantly correlated with Self- Management (r = -.15), Relationship Management (r = -.42) or Communication (r = .40). Transformational leadership was significantly correlated with Transactional Leadership (r = .91, p < .01) and modestly correlated with Laisse-Faire Leadership (r = .40). Conclusion: Emotional Intelligence was significantly associated with both transformational and transactional aspects of leadership. Pedro, M. L. (2006).

EI and Transformational Leadership Objective: Explored the relationship between emotional intelligence and transformational leadership. . Measures: Emotional Intelligence View 360 and the Multi-Factor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ-36; Avolio & Bass). Design: The population in the study included 23 female managers from several businesses/industries from Canada (6), Mexico (10), and the UK (7). Results: Regression analyses indicated that overall EI was the single best predictor of transformational leadership (r²=0.45). Self-Management, Relationship Management and Communication were significantly correlated with Transformational leadership (rs = .66, .65, .54, all p’s < .01). Conclusion: Emotional Intelligence was significantly associated more strongly with transformational versus transactional leadership outcomes. Flores, M. (2007).

EI and Transformational Leadership Objective: Explored the relationship between emotional intelligence and transformational leadership. Measures: Emotional Intelligence View 360 and the Transformational Leadership Scale (Podsakoff et al. 1990). A measure of satisfaction with leadership, global satisfaction, and follower’s performance were also included in this study. Design: The population in the study was 120 managers working within a banking organization in Portugal and 299 of their direct reports. Results: Overall EI, Self-Management, Relationship Management and Communications were correlated with transformational leadership behaviors in leaders (r = .74, .68, .76. 64, respectively; all p’s < .01) and with transactional leadership (r = .59, p < .01). A positive correlation between EI, transformational leadership behaviors in leaders and performance and satisfaction in their followers (only the EI communications scale significantly was associated with follower’s performance; r =.18, p < .05). Conclusion: Emotional Intelligence was significantly associated more strongly with transformational versus transactional leadership outcomes.

EI, Stress and Coping Objective: Explored the relationship between emotional intelligence, stress, coping and well-being. Measures: Emotional Intelligence View 360 (EIV360) and StressScan. Design: Measures were administered to 109 executive MBA students working full time during one of their required leadership courses in 2008. Results: In multiple regressions, overall manager EI ratings (b = .25, t(84) = 2.5, p < .01) incrementally predicted Threat Minimization coping above overall self-ratings accounting for .17 of the variance in this dependent variable (b = .34, t(84) = 3.4, p < .01). No other significant associations were found in regression analyses between emotional intelligence, stress, coping and well-being. Conclusion: Emotional Intelligence was significantly associated with Threat Minimization coping in this EMBA sample of men and women. Students with higher EI tended to be more perceptive of their stressors as indicated by using a type of coping that acknowledges feelings and puts closure to them, rather than ruminating and obsessing about them. Women students reported significantly higher levels of Cognitive Hardiness but no more stress (F (1,107) = 6.12, p < .01), Type A behavior, emotional intelligence or well-being compared to men (all p’s > .05).

EI, Stress and Hardiness Objective: Explored emotional intelligence, self-reported stress and cognitive hardiness in 109 Executive MBA students in a cross-sectional design. Measures: Emotional Intelligence View 360 and the stress/resilient measure StressScan. Design: 109 Executive MBA students were administered EIV360 and StressScan concurrently as part of their academic program. Regression analysis was used to explore f the extent to which overall EI and specific sub-scales predicts stress, cognitive hardiness and psychological well-being outcomes. Results: No significant predictor variance was found between overall EI scores and stress, hardiness and well-being However adaptability scores of EIV360 were a significant predictor variable for hardiness and well-being scores, whereas self-control was a significant predictor variable of stress scores. Conclusion: Self-management competencies (adaptability/stress and self-control) were significantly associated with stress, cognitive hardiness and psychological well-being providing evidence of convergent validity with these EI scales. Emotional intelligence coping appears to be associated with both resilience and global life satisfaction (psychological well-being). Jessica Marie McGourty (2010).

Emotional Intelligence and Leadership Performance Objective: To explore EI competencies and performance in 21 high potential leaders within diverse industries and to identify factors associated with the highest performing individuals. Measures: PeopleIndex was used to assess EI and senior management ratings were used to evaluate performance of the high potential leaders. Design: Participants for this study consisted of 21 middle managers in diverse industries. Interviews will be conducted with a randomly sampled group of study participants to identify success factors associated with high and low performers. Outcome: ANOVA analysis found no significant differences in EI by competency group (Self-management, Relationship management, Communication). Leaders who were categorized as "Exceeding Results" rated themselves significantly higher on the EI competency called Building Strategic Relationships compared to those categorized as "Gets Results" (F 1,20) = 4.77, p < .05). This finding provides construct validity to this mixed EIV360 measure of emotional and social competence and the importance of the competency of Building Strategic Relationships to leadership performance.

University of Barcelona Emotional Intelligence Educational Research Project Objective: To compare the impact of a one-year emotional intelligence education program to postgraduate students compared to a control group at the University of Barcelona. Measures: Emotional Intelligence View 360 (EIV360 self-assessment), MSCEIT (Mayer, Salovey, Caruso, & Sitarenios (2003), StressScan, QDE-A (self-report measure of emotional competencies with more about the design at http://stel.ub.edu/grop/files/Competencias_emocionales-P.pdf ) Design: Subjects for this study will be approximately 200 postgraduate students at the University of Barcelona and Universitat de Lleida. Graduate students were divided randomly into a control and experimental group who participated in a one-year EI educational education. Pre and Post measures were collected on all assessments. Outcome: No significant correlations were found between the mixed measure EIV360 and ability measure subscores of the MSCEIT for 110 subjects. MSCEIT Overall, Emotional Experiencing and Emotional Reasoning subscores and overall EIV360 correlations were .12, .07, .12, respectively, all p’s > .05). The competencies of Trust and Empathy were significantly correlated with the Managing Emotions, Using Emotions branches of the MSCEIT as well as the total score (average r’s = .25, p < .01). This finding provides construct validity to this mixed EIV360 measure of emotional and social competence. Additional analyses are pending with the other measures Rafael Bisquerra Alzina, Nuria Perez Escoda, Laura Mari. Departmento MIDE Facultad de Pedagogia. Universidad de Barcelona (2012)
Team and Individual Emotional Intelligence in Natural Resource Committee Members in Australia Objective: To investigate the type of team characteristics and behaviours associated with different Emotional Intelligence profiles. Measures: Emotional Intelligence View 360 and the Group Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (Wolff and Druskat). Team performance will be determined using ranking to determine committee performance as this is consistent with the Australian Government process Design: Subjects for this study included 58 participants working within seven separate committees. Results: The results of this study showed that there was no statistical relationship between committee emotional competence and the emotional competence of individual committee members. The study also showed that there was no statistical relationship between the emotional competence of the committee and the emotional competence of the respective Chair. This study showed that there was a strong statistical relationship between committee effectiveness and committee emotional competence, with 93.1% of the variation in committee operating effectiveness explained by group emotional competence.

Emotional Intelligence in Achieving Success in Women in Engineering and Technology Objective: To examine the use of emotional intelligence (EI) and perceptions of success and burnout among women in technology to better understand what EI competencies are needed to be successful. Measures: PeopleIndex and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) Design: A mixed method approach was used, which consisted of three surveys and an interview. 23 female participants who earned a technical degree or who had a minimum of 5 years’ experience in a technical field participated in the study Outcome: the study found that success was defined as others’ favorable perceptions of them, their own feelings of happiness, and making a difference. Nearly all participants (19 of 23) reported that the top factor that influenced their success in engineering and technology was EI with their competency ranging from neutral to high in self-management, relationship management and communication. Twenty-one of the participants identified influence as the most important skill to develop as a woman progresses in her career, with strategic relationships second Significant correlations were observed with the MBI emotional exhaustion scale and overall EI, and each of the three main competency groups (r’s = -.476, -.407, -.482 and -.461, all p’s < .05) as well as specific competencies (Stress/Adaptability r = -.53, building strategic relationships, sensitivity/empathy, collaboration and listening. Significant associations were also observed between the MBI scale of Professional Efficiency and both overall EI and six competency scores. No significant relationship was found between the MBI cynicism scale and any EI competencies. These finding provide criterion related validity to this mixed EIV360 measure of emotional and social competence and job burnout. Kim Elisha Proctor (2011).
