Introduction
Emotional Intelligence (EI) has been used in the workplace to predict performance and even to select new employees. Although, emotional intelligence has been studied for years now, it still does not have a firm standing and there is confusion about what it is exactly and if it could be called intelligence. There are three types of emotional intelligence: Ability EI, Mixed EI, and Trait EI. Ability EI is based on Mayer and Salovey’s (1999) definition, which is stated as “The ability to monitor one’s own and others feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide ones thinking” (Mayer and Salovey, 1999). This definition includes four facets of EI: Understanding Emotion, Perceiving Emotion, Using

Personality has also been correlated to job performance. In this article, the focus is between the relationship of job performance and EI. In a meta-analysis by Joseph and Newman (2010) all facets of EI correlate positively to job performance, the highest correlation being emotional regulation. A more recent study found the same pattern of results (O’boyle, Humphrey, Pollack, Hawver & Story, 2011); they suggested that EI might be important for jobs in the service sector, where employees deal with clients on a daily basis. Cote and Miners (2006) demonstrated that those with low cognitive intelligence but high emotional intelligence have higher task performance; as well as, those high in EI but low on cognitive intelligence have higher Organizational Citizenship directed at the Organization (OCBO). In the present study, participants will be collected from a service company, due to the increase of demand for these jobs (Desilver, 2015). Further more, because the service sector needs organizational collaboration from employees to be successful, employees in this sector might benefit if they have higher …show more content…
Salary and promotion (salary increase) will be obtained through company records. Rank will be coded 1-6; ranks from 1-3 represent administrative/manager positions and 4-6 will represent clerical positions (Lopes, Grewal, Kadis, Gail, and Salovey 2006). The 360° performance ratings, evaluate the participants performance by various peers and co-workers varying in rank. Typically peers who they frequently interact with rate them. The ratings are divided into two groups: insider rates (Peers, subordinates, bosses and self-rating) and outsider rates (costumers and suppliers)(Mount, Judge, Scullen, Systma and Hezlett,
Emotional intelligence is defined as the ability to identify, assess, and control the emotions of oneself or of groups. Researchers such as Peter Salvoey and John D. Mayer define it as “the subset of intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and actions” (Feeley& Driscoll CPA, 2014). In this paper, I will identify the role emotional intelligence plays in the critical thinking skills used by the forensic accountant during various stages of the investigative services of the engagement.
Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to communicate non-verbally with one’s emotion and others to promote continuous collaboration while managing ones’ leadership position (Harvard Business Review, 2015a; Nahavandi, 2014). The needed traits of EQ are self-awareness, self-motivation, self- regulation, emotional management, good listening skills and social skills, and most importantly empathy for others (Lynn, 2008; Nahavandi, 2014). Therefore, conducting my EQ will help me to assess my weaknesses as a future leader in the field of public health. Acknowledging the area needed for improvement may even help me to begin brainstorming ideas needed to overcome my weakness so that I can be more efficient when leading others.
Emotions are frequent companions in our lives. They come and go, and constantly change like the weather. They generate powerful chemicals that create positive and negative feelings, which have a powerful effect on leadership. Some emotions can either facilitate leadership, while others can detract from successful leadership. This course, Emotionally Intelligent Leadership, has truly opened my eyes to the affects that emotions have on being an effective leader. Peter Salovey and John Mayer defined emotional intelligence as “the ability to monitor one’s own and other’s feelings and emotions to use the information to guide one’s thinking and actions” (p. 5). This definition in itself states that emotions, whether it be ones own emotions or those of others, is the underlying factor that directs the actions of a leader. Therefore, throughout the progression (advancement) of this course, I have learned the importance of the development of emotional intelligence for being an effective leader, and because of this I plan on developing the capacities that contribute to being an emotionally intelligent leader for my own success, now and in the future.
Emotional intelligence is the ability to gauge your emotions as well as the emotions of those around you, to make a distinction among those emotions, and then use that information to help guide your actions (Educated Business Articles , 2017). It also helps us consciously identify and conceive the ways in which we think, feel, and act when engaging with others, while giving us a better insight to ourselves (Educated Business Articles , 2017). Emotional Intelligence defines the ways in which we attain as well as retain information, setting priorities, in addition to regulating our daily actions. It is also suggested that as much as 80% of our success in life stems from our
Great leadership doesn’t necessarily come from what you do, but instead from how you do it. According to Goleman, Boyatzis, and McKee 's (2013) book, Primal Leadership, this "how" of a great leader comes through the heart or emotions. If leaders fail at driving emotions in the right direction, nothing they do, even if they get everything else just right, will be as successful as it could or should be (p. 3). This goes against many of the preconceptions of good leadership. I have always been shown that "good" leaders keep their emotions at bay and lead through intellect devoid of emotion because emotions can distort reality. However, the emotional task of the leader, according to Goleman et al.,
Emotional intelligence has been defined as “the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and actions,” (Gantt & Slife 17). Psychologists John Mayer, Peter Salovey and David Caruso argue that some people have a greater emotional intelligence and a greater capacity than others to carry out more intelligent information when processing emotions. While on the other hand, psychologists Gerald Matthew, Moshe Zeidner, and Richard Roberts claimed that the concept of emotional intelligence, as it is defined now is flawed and has no reliable foundation in any of the models of human behavior such as biological, cognitive, coping, or personality.
(Yoder-Wise, 2015, p. 7). Emotional intelligence involves managing the emotions of others while owning personal emotions. According to Skholer, “Researchers define emotional intelligence (EI) as the ability to recognize/monitor one’s own and other people’s emotions, to differentiate between different feelings, and to use emotional information to guide thinking, behavior, and performance.” (Skholer & Tziner, 2017).
Emotional Intelligence is the ability of awareness and understanding of an individual towards the others signal and emotion, in order to display a positive and accurate feedback. Identify effectively human being’s reaction and emotional would prepare the leaders to handle with different situation in an impassive manner. Emotional Intelligence indicate its self in five categories: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills.
Emotional Intelligence, also known as ‘EI’, is defined as the ability to recognize, authoritize and evaluate emotions. The ability to control and express our own emotions is very important but so is our ability to understand, interpret and respond to the emotions of others. To be emotionally intelligent one must be able to perceive emotions, reason with emotions, understand emotions and manage emotions.
Discussed below are different researchers’ arguments and explanations on how personality predicts employee performance. This essay will explore both negative and positive ways in which personality can predict the performance, as well as explaining what personality is. Past research has “demonstrated that personality constructs are associated with work performance, with some traits like conscientiousness predicting success around jobs. Other linked with specific occupations e.g. extraversion correlates with success in sales and management as well as training performance supporting”, (Barrick et al., 2002, 87: p.43).
...sults were compared with those from another 140 supervisors, peers, and Regression analyses showed that there is a positive correlation between the emotional intelligence of managers and organizational climate. The results of the analyses also show that among emotional intelligence's factors, social awareness and self-awareness have more influence on organizational climate, while among organizational climate factors, credibility is most influenced by managers' emotional intelligence.”
Emotional intelligence: This is most difficult concept to understand and master. This is the ability of the individual to manage the emotions of their own and of others. It can also be termed as “steer smarts” which is mostly possessed by executives of the company in order to maintain the relationship within the company as well as with the stakeholders. There are four important features of EI models are:
Khalili, A. (2012). The role of emotional intelligence in the workplace: a literature review. International Journal of Management, 29(3), 355-370.
In this report the importance of emotional intelligence and the different EI theories has been discussed. EI has become vital in our daily personal and professional life. In professional life it helps in the management of the conflicts and understanding the emotional level and the desires of the other person. At workplace the lack of emotional intelligence creates many issues. There should be proper education about the emotional intelligence. The Personal SWOT Analysis is way of judgment of individual character strengths, weaknesses, opportunities which can be gained and the threats which can face in future. This is the best way of judgment of one’s basic strengths so it can be used in best manner, weakness, so they can be overcome, exploration of opportunities and the management of the threats in best way.
It was Daniel Goleman whom greatly popularized the theory of Emotional Intelligence, EI or EQ, defining it as the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves, and for managing emotions well in ourselves and in our relationships. (Goleman, 1998). Organizations in the present day, especially in the service industries, are embracing the notion of emotional intelligence at the workplace because of its relationship towards employee’s performance, quality of service, and customer loyalty. All in which ultimately contributes to better reputation and higher returns. At Starbucks, emotional intelligence plays an important role in job performance, as the company enjoys a loyal customer base and a reputation as one of the most admired companies in America. (Robbins, Judge, 2013). An employee with high emotional intelligence will be able to handle his own impulses rationally, able to react quickly in tensed environment, solve problems and remain composed even in the face of adversity. In 1998, Goleman conducted a research and discovered that 67% of the competencies management outlined as determining factors of excellence within a job was correlated to emotional abilities. (Khalili, 2012). This summarizes the implication of emotional intelligence as a way to increase the success of an organization today.
