Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire Short Form (TEIQue-SF) and the ten facets of the Big Five Questionnaire (BFQ) via network analysis. The TEIQue-SF and the BFQ were administered to 751 Italian workers. Both centrality indexes (Expected Influence and Node Predictability) and bridge dimensions were calculated. Stability and accuracy were also checked to ensure the reliability of the findings. The BFQ facets of Perseverance (Consciousness) had the highest centrality while Emotion control (Emotion stability, the opposite of Neuroticism) showed high centrality. Among TEIQue-SF dimensions, Sociability followed by Emotionality and Self-Control had high centrality. TEIQue-SF Emotionality and Sociability had a bridge function. Both TEIQue-SF Emotionality and Sociability and both BFQ Perseverance and Emotion control are relevant in linking emotional intelligence and personality traits. Although further studies are needed, the network analysis represents a promising approach in providing a more detailed analysis of the relationships between dimensions of emotional intelligence and facets of personality traits in workers.
