Summary
Kecerdasan emosional yaitu kemampuan mengenali emosi yang dirasakan dan bagaimana seseorang tersebut mengekpresikan emosi yang dirasakan melalui komunikasi nonverbal (Sulistyowati et al, 2015). Kecerdasan emosional juga merupakan kemampuan individu mengenali, memahami, menggunakan dan mengontrol emosi saat berfikir ataupun bertindak serta kemampuan untuk memberikan motivasi pada diri (Kristina et al, 2015). Faktor internal yang mempengaruhi kecerdasan emosional adalah situasi psikologis seseorang, salah satunya yaitu kepercayaan diri dan keyakinan seseorang untuk mampu mengontrol emosi, dimana kontrol emosi atau regulasi emosi ini merupakan fungsi dari kecerdasan emosional (Shipley et al, 2015). Teori tersebut memperkuat hasil penelitian yang tercantum pada tabel 2 yang menunjukkan bahwa responden yang memiliki kecerdasan emosional yang sangat baik, hampir separuhnya dibarengi dengan adanya self-efficacy yang tinggi yaitu sebanyak 82 responden (42,9%). Penelitian lain juga menyebutkan bahwa ada korelasi positif antara kecerdasan emosional dengan self-efficacy, dalam penelitian tersebut dijelaskan bahwa komponen kecerdasan emosional merupakan prediktor positif terhadap selfefficacy yang dimiliki seseorang (Sarkhosh & Rezaee, 2014). Keyakinan seseorang atas kemampuan yang dimiliki ini memiliki dampak yang beragam dan dapat mempengaruhi tindakan yang akan dilakukan dalam mengatasi tekanan hidup, stress ataupun kegagalan (Agung & Budiani, 2013)
