Emotional intelligence meta just published on job performance

  • 1.  Emotional intelligence meta just published on job performance

    Hi,

    In response to the earlier requests for information on emotional intelligence, I would like to point out that the Journal of Organizational Behavior has just published in its July 2011 edition a meta-analysis of emotional intelligence and job performance. This meta found very good support for the validity of emotional intelligence/emotional competencies when controlling for cognitive intelligence and the Big Five personality measures. I've copied the title and abstract below.

    The relation between emotional intelligence
    and job performance: A meta-analysis

    Summary This meta-analysis builds upon a previous meta-analysis by (1) including 65 per cent more
    studies that have over twice the sample size to estimate the relationships between emotional
    intelligence (EI) and job performance; (2) using more current meta-analytical studies for
    estimates of relationships among personality variables and for cognitive ability and job
    performance; (3) using the three-stream approach for classifying EI research; (4) performing
    tests for differences among streams of EI research and their relationships with personality and
    cognitive intelligence; (5) using latest statistical procedures such as dominance analysis; and
    (6) testing for publication bias. We classified EI studies into three streams: (1) ability-based
    models that use objective test items; (2) self-report or peer-report measures based on the fourbranch
    model of EI; and (3) ''mixed models'' of emotional competencies. The three streams
    have corrected correlations ranging from 0.24 to 0.30 with job performance. The three streams
    correlated differently with cognitive ability and with neuroticism, extraversion, openness,
    agreeableness, and conscientiousness. Streams 2 and 3 have the largest incremental validity
    beyond cognitive ability and the Five Factor Model (FFM). Dominance analysis demonstrated
    that all three streams of EI exhibited substantial relative importance in the presence of FFM
    and intelligence when predicting job performance. Publication bias had negligible influence on
    observed effect sizes. The results support the overall validity of EI. Copyright # 2010 John

    A few months ago the Academy of Management Perspectives also had an article that reviewed emotional intelligence and leadership.

    Hello Veronika,

    CRM learning has a package with Dan Goleman's EI with scenarios, power point slides, and a twenty minute video. We have a copy in our library on reserve for professors.

    Best wishes,

    Subject:     [OB-LIST] Looking for EI cases, etc.

    Hello,
     
    I am looking for examples – short cases, film clips (or suggestions of film excerpts), scenarios, exercises, short excerpts from novels or plays, etc., but NOT tests – presenting Emotional Intelligence, to be used in an MBA course on Management Skills. The objective is to allow students to better understand the concept and to evaluate the way that EI is demonstrated by the people in the examples. The goal is NOT to measure students' levels of EI, but to give them a chance to look at situations in which EI is used well, not so well, or not at all ... and the potential consequences.
     
    Please respond off-list; I will compile the suggestions and post to the list later.
     
    I thank you in advance for your suggestions!
