The relationship between emotional intelligence and organizational commitment among nurses working in governmental hospitals in Jordan

IntroductionNurses’ emotions and feelings in response to their environment and their ability to manage their emotions can significantly affect several aspects of their job. In Jordan, studies are still investigating whether emotional intelligence is significantly related to organizational commitment.AimTo investigate whether a significant relationship exists between emotional intelligence and organizational commitment among Jordanian nurses working in governmental hospitals in Jordan.MethodsThe study used a descriptive cross-sectional correlational design. A convenience sampling method was used to recruit participants working in governmental hospitals. A total of 200 nurses participated in the study. A participant information sheet developed by the researcher was used to obtain the participants’ socio-demographic characteristics, the Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS) developed by Schutte and colleagues, and the Organizational Commitment Scale developed by Meyer and Allen were utilized for data collection.ResultsParticipants had high levels of emotional intelligence (M, SD = 122.3, 14.0) and moderate levels of organizational commitment (M, SD = 81.6, 15.7). Emotional intelligence had a significant, positive relationship with organizational commitment (r = 0.53, p < 0.01). Male nurses, widowed nurses, and nurses with higher postgraduate qualifications demonstrated significantly higher levels of emotional intelligence and organizational commitment than female nurses, single nurses, and nurses with undergraduate degrees (p < 0.05).ConclusionParticipants in the current study were highly emotionally intelligent and moderately committed to their organizations. Policies supporting the implementation of interventions to improve organizational commitment and maintain a high level of emotional intelligence should be developed and promoted by nurse managers and hospital administrators, as well as decision-makers should magnet the nurses with postgraduate degrees at clinical sites.

The relation of emotional intelligence with the peculiarities of experiencing happiness in psychology students

Introduction. The authors consider emotional intelligence in scientific psychological consciousness as a ‘living basis’ for the combination of all mental processes. Emotional intelligence is claimed to be associated with mental states and the possibility of influencing them, which sets new perspectives for the investigation of the most intimate phenomenon in human nature, happiness.Purpose. Identification of interrelations between indicators of emotional intelligence and empathy and correlates of happiness experience in graduate students.Materials and methods. The study sample consisted of 39 female psychology students in the master’s degree programme. The methodological instruments were made up of the Hall Emotional Intelligence Test and Diagnostics of the Empathic Abilities Level (V. Boyko). The authors made a questionary that aims to study the derivative value characteristics of experiencing happiness and assess the severity of enjoyment, optimism, and health level as its correlates. Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U-test, Cronbach’s alpha test, Pearson’s Chi-square test, descriptive statistics, and methods of correlation, factor and cluster analysis.Results. For people with a high level of emotional intelligence, higher indicators of enjoyment and optimism were revealed. A factorial correlation of the indicators of enjoyment and optimism with the indicators of emotional intelligence and empathy was observed, with a ‘weight’ representation of all these indicators at least equal to the average, in 47% of the respondents in the sample. For people with a high level of EI, the determinacy of enjoyment with their studying, self-realization in their major and communication was found. There are links between the level of experiencing enjoyment and its peculiar predictors: love, family, hobbies, having friends, material well-being, and self-realization in the profession.Discussion and conclusion. A high level of emotional intelligence has a positive effect on the experience of enjoyment and optimism. At the same time, the relationship of EI with indicators of enjoyment, optimism, and the level of health seems to be heterogeneous and ambiguous. It is necessary to separate the understanding of EI with the concentration of the aspect of the analysis of this phenomenon mainly on the phenomenon of an entirely empathic attitude towards Other, and separately on the ability to “understand other people well enough, but not have an interest in them”.

Emotional Intelligence in Times of Covid-19: a Comparative Study in Peruvian Universities

Objective: The aim of the study was to compare emotional intelligence in Peruvian university students from public and private universities. Theoretical framework: In higher education, emotionally intelligent students have the ability to interact appropriately with others, achieve good academic results, and reach personal and professional goals. Method: The methodology was descriptive-comparative, the sample consisted of 838 university students of both sexes from public (471) and private (364) universities belonging to the coast, highlands and jungle regions of Peru.

Only interpersonal mentalizing skills have significant impact on sales performance. Moreover emotional intelligence and Interpersonal mentalizing skills significantly partially mediated between field managers’ monitoring and sales performance. it is concluded that managers, practitioners should pay due attention to build emotional intelligence and interpersonal mentalizing skills among their workforce.

Emotional intelligence and conflict resolution styles among nurse managers: a cross-sectional study

Background/Aims Emotional intelligence may help nurse managers to deal with conflicts. However, the relationship between emotional intelligence and conflict resolution is still not clearly understood. This study aimed to explore nurse managers' emotional intelligence levels and conflict resolution styles, and to identify any associations between these factors. Methods A cross-sectional study design was used, with a convenience sample of 197 nurse managers recruited from five public and two university hospitals. Data were collected on emotional intelligence and conflict resolution using two specialised self-reported scale-based questionnaires. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (version 25) was used to analyse data, with P&lt;0.05 indicating statistical significance. Results The nurse mangers' average emotional intelligence scores ranged from 80–139 and 40% had low levels of work-related emotional intelligence. The integrating style was the most commonly used approach to conflict resolution, while the avoiding style was the least used. Higher levels of emotional intelligence were significantly associated with integrating, obliging and compromising styles, and were able to predict the use of integrating and compromising styles of conflict resolution. Conclusions Nurse managers with higher levels of emotional intelligence are more likely to use the integrating and compromising styles of conflict resolution. Training programmes aiming to improve managers' conflict resolution skills should focus on assessing and increasing emotional intelligence.

THE ROLE OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE TEACHING CAREER OF PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS

One of the greatest challenges of the 21st century school is to rethinking teacher training according to new social digital trends. A lot of study underlines that teacher’s competences hierarchy has been changed: new competences as digital competences, pedagogical creativity or socio-emotional competences are a priority. Teachers must be aware of this major change and accept that the students of the 21st century have different ways of thinking, different activities and interests. The purpose of this research was to identify the factors of emotional intelligence, which are involved in the teaching profession and shape the student`s learning and behavior. The present study was conducted in a mixt methods structure, which employed both qualitative and quantitative methods for data collection, embedded in a constructivist-interpretivist paradigm. One of the main conclusions of the research is that emotional intelligence and social skills are important tools for adaptation to learning and development for the student’s needs. A study has shown that a teacher with a high level of emotional intelligence, above average, positively influences the relationships formed within the class, namely the "student-teacher" and "student-student" relationships. The student-teacherrelationship is based on communication, understanding, and friendship, and mistakes are seen as opportunities for learning

The Relationship Between Emotional Intelligence and Organizational Commitment to Hotel Staff

Commitment is a person's loyalty to the organization. A committed person always intends to continue working with the organization and is committed to achieving its goals, whereas emotional intelligence as a form of social intelligence that allows employees to manage their own emotions and distinguish them from the emotions of others. This study aims to examine the effect of emotional intelligence on organizational commitment in 100 hotel staff in Kab.Bone, South Sulawesi by using the cillation analysis method. This study found that there was a positive but not significant influence between emotional intelligence on affective commitment, and there was a positive and significant influence between emotional intelligence on ongoing commitment and normative commitment on hotel staff. These findings suggest that the tendency that hotel staff who have high emotional intelligence is not inclined towards strong affective commitment, whereas in the formation of ongoing commitment and normative commitment hotel staff give the impression that they have higher levels of emotional intelligence tend to want to develop good working relationships, are very tolerant when faced with work pressures, Able to respond to all conditions with good emotions without losing patience.

Impact of transformational leadership on the person-organization fit of Chinese nurses: The moderating effect ofemotional intelligence.

To explore the relationships between transformational leadership and person-organization fit, as well as to test the moderating effects of emotional intelligence. A descriptive cross-sectional study design was used to conduct an online questionnaire survey among 326 nurses in Chinese hospitals between March and June 2022. Transformational leadership, person-organization fit and emotional intelligence were measured using the Person-Organization Fit Scale, Transformational Leadership Questionnaire and Emotional Intelligence Scale. Hierarchical multiple linear regression models and simple slope analyses were used. Transformational leadership had a significant positive impact on person-organization fit. Furthermore, emotional intelligence had a conditional moderating effect on the relationship between transformational leadership and nurses' person-organization fit. Under a high level of emotional intelligence, transformational leadership had a stronger positive effect on person-organization fit, while under a low level of emotional intelligence, the relationship between the two was not significant. Transformational leadership has a positive predictive effect on person-organization fit, but this positive predictive effect is driven by conditional effect. The emotional intelligence of nurses plays a moderating role between them.

Emotional intelligence: Its place in infection prevention and control.

The Infection Prevention Societies Competency Framework is a detailed tool that recognises the multi factorial work of Infection Prevention and Control Teams. This work often takes place in complex, chaotic and busy environments where non-compliance with policies, procedures and guidelines is endemic. As reductions in Healthcare Associated Infection became a health service priority the tone of Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) became increasingly uncompromising and punitive. This can create conflict between IPC professionals and clinicians who may take a different view as to the reasons for sub optimum practice. If unresolved, this can create a tension that has a negative impact on working relationships and ultimately patient outcomes. Emotional Intelligence, that ability to recognise, understand and manage our own emotions and recognise, understand and influence the emotions of others, is not something, hitherto, that has been headlined as an attribute for individuals working in IPC. Individuals with higher level of Emotional Intelligence show a greater capacity for learning, deal with pressure more effectively, communicate in interesting and assertive ways and recognise the strengths and weaknesses of others. Overall, the trend is that they are more productive and satisfied in the workplace. Emotional Intelligence should be a much sought after trait in IPC as this will better equip a post holder to deliver challenging IPC programmes. When appointing to an IPC team, the candidates Emotional Intelligence should be considered and then developed through a process of education and reflection.

Being an Emotional Business Leader in the Time of the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Importance of Emotions during a Crisis

The COVID-19 crisis has brought about massive and sudden changes in the way people work and has created new emotional strains on workers. For this reason, being an emotional business leader is necessary for an organization’s survival and employees’ well-being. This qualitative study aims: (1) to explore the quality of emotions expressed by business leaders during the COVID-19 crisis, (2) to go into detail on how business leaders managed their own emotions, and (3) to investigate how they managed emotions shown by employees in their company. We interviewed 38 business leaders from 11 Italian companies. The main emotion reported by the leaders we interviewed was anxiety, caused in part by the development of the pandemic and related to uncertainty about the future. Results also showed that some leaders considered emotions as a secondary matter, or something to overcome for the good of their role. Other leaders showed a higher level of emotional intelligence and were able to empathize with their followers, communicate their vision and feelings, and create positive and constructive relationships. The theoretical and practical implications of these results are also discussed.

Perceived emotional intelligence, grit and suicidal ideation in Pakistani cancer patients

This research sought to examine the association between perceived emotional intelligence (EI), grit, and suicide ideation among cancer patients in Pakistan. In Lahore, Pakistan, 110 cancer patients were recruited from two hospitals. Perceived Emotional Intelligence Scale, Grit Scale, and Suicidal Ideation Scale were completed by the individuals. There was a significant negative association between perceived emotional intelligence and suicidal ideation (r = -0.24, p&lt;.05) and also a significant negative correlation between grit and suicidal ideation (r = -0.28, p&lt;.05). In addition, perceived EI regulated the association between grit and suicidal ideation, such that high levels of EI diminished the positive relationship between grit and suicidal ideation. This research illustrates the relevance of emotional intelligence and grit for the mental health of Pakistani cancer patients and proposes that therapies focused at enhancing emotional intelligence and grit may help to minimize suicidal thoughts in this group. Findings show that therapies focusing on EI and grit may be useful in lowering suicidal ideation in this group. To lessen suicide thoughts among cancer patients in Pakistan, future research should concentrate on designing therapies that target EI and grit.

The levels of Emotional Intelligence and its influence on Leadership Styles among Nurse Managers’ in Ghana

Background: Since the emergence of emotional intelligence, many definitions have evolved emphasizing emotional intelligence as emotional management. Emotional intelligence has been known to influence leadership styles and the effectiveness of nurse managers. Understanding the dynamism of emotions and their application among nurses in the healthcare fraternity of Ghana is crucial in an emotionally volatile working environment, making the nursing atmosphere unpleasant and resistant to change.&nbsp; As such being emotionally intelligent as a nurse determines one's capacity to address challenging circumstances taking into consideration leadership styles. We aimed to determine nurse managers' level of emotional intelligence and its influence on leadership styles in Ghana. Methods: This quantitative survey employed a descriptive cross-sectional design, and applying a purposive sampling technique, 388 nurse managers were enlisted across health facilities in Ghana and administered a structured questionnaire to solicit data from respondents. Data were entered into Microsoft excel and exported into IBM SPSS version 26. Descriptive and inferential statistics were conducted and findings were displayed using tables and graphs. The correlation between nurse managers’ emotional intelligence and leadership styles was examined using Pearson Correlation Coefficient (r) at a 95% confidence interval and the two-tailed. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Nurse Manager’s level of emotional intelligence was high (76.5%) which significantly and positively correlated with their leadership styles (Autocratic style (388), r=0.384, p&lt;0.05), (Laissez-faire style (388), r=0.400, p&lt;0.05) and (Democratic style (388), r=0.218, p&lt;0.05). Conclusion and recommendations: Nurse Managers in Ghana demonstrated a high level of emotional intelligence at the workplace which influenced their ability to recognise their emotions and that of others, making them effective at addressing personal and work-related challenges. The high level of emotional intelligence influenced their leadership styles in managing subordinates, making them effective at effecting change. Developing policies to incorporate emotional intelligence into nursing educational programs would boost the emotional intelligence level of nurses. Additionally, a qualitative enquiry is recommended to explore the mechanisms high-level emotional intelligence nurse managers adopt to recognise and thrive in a challenging situation to deliver quality services.

The relationship between perceived stress and emotional intelligence in Moroccan nursing students.

Nursing students are subjected to many stressors during their clinical practicums. Emotional intelligence (EI) could act as a real stress regulator. In this perspective, we sought to study the relationship between stress and EI in a sample of Moroccan nursing students. This study was conducted using the descriptive correlational method. The statistical population consisted of the nursing students of the Higher Institute of Nursing Professions and Health Techniques of Tetouan in Morocco during the academic year 2021-2022. Among them, 146 participants were selected on the basis of simple random sampling. Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire addressing sociodemographic factors, perceived stress (the Perceived Stress in Clinical Practice Scale), and emotional intelligence (Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale test). Descriptive statistics were used and Pearson's correlation coefficient was applied to assess the correlation between stress and EI, and to compare them according to socio-demographic characteristics. A linear regression analysis was calculated to analyze the effect of independent variables on perceived stress and EI. For the analysis, a level of 0.05 was chosen. The overall mean age of the students was 20.02 ± 1.12 years. Participants had moderate levels of perceived stress (M = 2.42 ± 0.77) and high levels of EI (M = 3.79 ± 1.09). A significant positive correlation between perceived stress and EI was found (r = 0.741, P < 0,05). The regression model shows that EI, education level, and clinical practice setting can explain changes in perceived stress levels and are effective and significant factors (P < 0,001). EI has been shown to be a protective factor against stress in nursing students. Those with well-developed EI have lower levels of stress. Therefore, it is suggested that a mindfulness-based training program be incorporated into the nursing curriculum to develop emotional skills and combat stress in students.

Analysis of emotional intelligence in project managers: Scale development and validation

There is a growing awareness of the positive effects that Emotional Intelligence (EI) has on Project Management (PM). Project Managers (PMs) with high levels of EI have been shown to positively affect project performance, therefore, PMs with high EI should be sought to manage projects. Despite its importance, understanding, measuring, and managing emotional intelligence is an arduous task. Organizations struggle to harness and leverage the benefits that EI is lauded to bring. While previous studies have identified the need for more proactive management practices, there are few practical guidelines available to managers to help them improve their performance as it relates to EI. This exploratory paper addresses this deficit and contributes new knowledge on emotional intelligence for project managers. Through an in-depth analysis of the existing literature, we developed an instrument that allows decision-makers to measure emotional intelligence. This instrument is in the process of validation and thus far, our results show that it is an accurate, reliable, and valid mechanism to measure project managers’ emotional intelligence.

Predictors and influencing factors of emotional intelligence among nurses in the North East England, United Kingdom.

Recognising that high levels of emotional intelligence (EI) are required for involvement in the nursing practice, this study was conducted to assess the traits of emotional intelligence, perception of emotional intelligence and factors associated with emotional intelligence among nursing teams in Northeast England. For this descriptive cross-sectional study, a concurrent mixed method was employed (qualitative and quantitative method) using a convenience sampling technique. Data were obtained from one hundred and ten (110) staff nurses practicing with the National Health Service via a validated semi-structured questionnaire and in-depth interview. Data collected through questionnaires (online- Google form link) were retrieved via Ms excel spreadsheet and then imported to Statistics Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 for analyses. Interviews recorded were transcribed word for word as Nvivo software (version 12) was utilised for thematic analysis and rapid analysis was also adopted to validate the responses. Majority (77%) of the respondents were females, and about half (46%) have work experience between one to five years. The mean emotional intelligence trait score for each domain was self-awareness (20.20), self-regulation (38.15), self-motivation (20.54), empathy (18.78), and social skills (29.60), as 82% of the nurses had high emotional intelligence trait. There was a statistically significant relationship between empathy, and race of the respondents (P = 0.040). Also, from the qualitative data; cultural differences, personality traits, self-care, family support, and organisational structure are key predictors of emotional intelligence traits among nurses. Enhancing emotional intelligence traits among nursing teams is significant, as it may serve as an intervention strategy to manage changes and still increase level of morale and productivity among nurses. Hence, creating a more supportive environment, encouragement from team leads or supervisors, and training on stress management strategies can help to reduce burnout, anxiety and stress in nurses.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND COPING WITH STRESS AMONG OF STUDENTS OF SELECTED MEDICAL FACULTIES – A CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY

Aim: Assessment of the relationship between emotional intelligence and coping with stress among students of selected medical faculties. Material and methods: The study was conducted among 730 people who were students of the Medical University of Bialystok. The research tool was an anonymous questionnaire, the Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (INTE) and The Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS). Results: In stressful situations, future nurses present the least of the task-oriented coping style, students of emergency medicine react least emotionally to stressful situations, and future doctors have the lowest rating for the avoidance-oriented coping style. Conclusions: Half of the surveyed students are characterized by a high level of emotional intelligence, slightly fewer subjects have an average level. Women are characterized by higher emotional intelligence; the highest level of emotional intelligence is found in students of emergency medicine and medical analytics. In stressful situations, women present mainly an emotional attitude, while men present a task-oriented coping style. Stress management training is recommended, especially in the female population.

IMPACT OF TEENAGERS’ INTERNET INVOLVEMENT ON THEIR EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Modern teenagers are the fi rst generation whose adolescence is directly linked to digital technology. The question of whether high Internet activity has an impact on psychological and emotional development is actively discussed among doctors, psychologists, and educators. Emotional intelligence is linked to adolescent adaptation, psychological well-being, and academic achievement. It has been found that teenagers with high levels of emotional intelligence demonstrate more productive coping styles, and the ability to understand and manage their emotions is a basic soft skill. The goal of the study was to identify the relationship between the level of emotional intelligence development and Internet involvement among teenagers. The methods used were a questionnaire to determine the adolescent’s Internet activity and the fi rst subtest of Guilford’s Test on Social Intelligence. The sample consisted of  teenagers from th to th grades from different regions of the Republic of Karelia. The results indicate a relationship between the level of emotional intelligence development in teenagers and their Internet involvement. It was found that the higher the child’s Internet involvement is, the lower their emotional intelligence is. The data obtained during the study suggest that to optimize work with teenagers, it is necessary to understand that online interaction with them is currently the most effective format. This is why it is important to develop programs for the development of emotional intelligence for teenagers using the Internet. The research described in this publication was made possible in part by R&amp;D Support Program for undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral researcher of PetrSU, funded by the Government of the Republic of Karelia.
