Abstract

The objectives of this article were to determine whether a relationship exists between the state of the psychological contract and emotional intelligence, and whether emotional intelligence is a predicting variance of the state of the psychological contract. A sample of 224 individuals from the mining and engineering field was used. Two questionnaires were combined, namely, the questionnaire on psychological contracts across employment situations and the Schutte Self-report Emotional Intelligence Test. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences was used to analyse the descriptive statistics and structural equation modelling to analyse the predictive statistics in order to develop a structural model. The results indicated a link between the two constructs, and that emotional intelligence is a predictor of the state of the psychological contract.
