When does knowledge hiding hinder employees’ job performance? The roles of emotional exhaustion and emotional intelligence

ABSTRACT As an emerging novelty, knowledge hiding has received considerable attention in management literature. Extending this research stream, we draw from conservation of resources (COR) theory and social information processing (SIP) theory to investigate the mediating role of emotional exhaustion between employees’ exposure to knowledge hiding and their job performance. Moreover, we examine the buffering role of emotional intelligence, investigating whether employees with higher emotional intelligence can mitigate the harmful effects of resource-depleting episodes of knowledge hiding. The study employed paper-and-pencil surveys to collect multi-source, time-lagged data from 319 employees and their respective supervisors in various service sector organisations. The findings indicate that persistent exposure to knowledge hiding diminishes employees’ job performance through emotional exhaustion. However, this negative relationship is less salient for employees with higher levels of emotional intelligence. This study informs important insights for organisations on why and when employees’ experiences of knowledge hiding curtail their performance-enhancing efforts.

Emotional Intelligence and Occupational Stress Among Nursing Professionals in Tertiary Care Hospitals of Bangalore: A Multicentric, Cross-Sectional Study.

Nursing profession requires strength and resilience not just physically, but emotionally as well which requires them to adapt in stressful situations that they are often exposed to in their work environment. To determine the prevalence and associated factors of emotional intelligence (EI) and occupational stress (OS) among the nursing professionals from selected tertiary care hospitals in Bangalore, India. This was a multi-centric, cross-sectional study done among nurses with more than 1year of work experience and they were randomly selected from four tertiary care hospitals in Bangalore. The EI and OS were assessed using the Emotional intelligence scale (EIS) and Occupational Stress Index (OSI). Data was collected, both online and offline, owing to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The data was analyzed using SPSS v21.0 to calculate the mean, associations, and regression. Out of the total 294, the mean age of the study participants was 27±4.92years. A total of 75 (25.5%) nurses had poor EI and 245 (83.3%) had moderate OSI. None of the participants had high OSI. There was a significant association between the severity grades of EI and OSI (P = 0.010) and a binary logistic regression showed that those staff with high EI had a lesser odd (OR 0.531, 95% CI 0.282-0.999) of developing occupational stress as compared to those with low EI. EI plays a significant role in reversing the effect of one's occupational stress. Thereby, the training curriculum should include skills and measures of resilience to facilitate their EI improvement.

Developing and Testing Tools for Measuring the Emotional Dimension of Volunteering

Volunteering is an essential part of society. It is considered to be a complex phenomenon which is potentially associated with emotional dilemmas. Emotions of volunteers are crucial for their activity. However, their scientific investigation is lacking, especially when it comes to the methodological aspect. This article presents the results of the methodological development of quantitative indicators of the emotional dimension of volunteering. Using the example of an online survey of 274 social, environmental, event, sports, animal welfare and public safety volunteers, the obtained indicators are tested by searching for a connection with the factors of volunteers’ emotions. As part of our methodology, we have developed new emotional indicators of volunteer activity. Based on the results of the study, we proposed such indicators as valence index, emotional burnout, emotional nature and emotional intelligence. The valence index considers two types (two valences) of volunteers’ emotions — positive and negative. Emotional burnout is expressed as a factor analysis model — the causes of burnout. Emotional intelligence is presented as a summary indicator of emotional processes — for instance, exchange, control, etc. The nature of emotions is represented by interval semantic differentials when building a cluster analysis model. By testing the obtained methods, it turns out that formal and informal volunteers have equally high emotional intelligence and are equally susceptible to burnout. The lowest values of the valence index are found among event volunteers, the highest — among public safety volunteers. With age, the chances of burning out decrease with the presence of constant joy and fun, increase due to excessive pity, and decrease due to compassion fatigue. Compared to men, women are more prone to experiencing emotions: both positive and negative, that is, they have a higher valence index and emotional intelligence.

Association between alexithymia, emotional intelligence, smoking addiction, and alcohol use disorder among a sample of Lebanese adults.

Alexithymia can be associated with worse addictive traits, while emotional intelligence is associated with better addictive outcomes. In Lebanon, the prevalence of cigarette and waterpipe smoking is on the rise, although people are aware of the associated harms. Also, around 11% of Lebanese adults have experienced alcohol use disorder (AUD). This study aimed to assess the association between alexithymia, emotional intelligence, smoking (cigarette and waterpipe), and AUD among a sample of Lebanese adults. A web-based cross-sectional study carried out between February and April 2020, during the lockdown period, enrolled 408 community-dwelling adults. The survey link was shared on social media to reach participants from all Lebanese districts/governorates. Taking antidepressants (Beta = 4.37) was significantly associated with more cigarette dependence, while female gender (Beta = -1.52) and having a high vs. low monthly income (Beta = 1.02) were significantly associated with less cigarette dependence. None of the variables, including alexithymia, were significantly associated with waterpipe dependence. Female gender (Beta = -0.15) and higher emotional intelligence (Beta = -0.003) were significantly associated with less AUD, whereas higher alexithymia (Beta = 0.003) was significantly associated with more AUD. This study could demonstrate a significant association between alexithymia and cigarette smoking and alexithymia and alcohol consumption. Future research is warranted to investigate the mediating effect of emotional intelligence and how these results may be used to meet the needs of alexithymic individuals with addictions.

A Proposed Framework for the Relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Employee’s Performance: Mediating Role of Job Demand

In the realm of employee performance, emotional intelligence (EI) plays a pivotal role. Research has consistently shown that EI is positively correlated with employee performance. It acts as a critical predictor, influencing how well employees perform in their roles. Emotional intelligence encompasses one's ability to perceive, express, understand, and manage emotions. When employees possess high EI, they are better equipped to navigate the challenges and dynamics of the workplace. As there are scarcity of research that explains the mechanism describing the EI-Employee’s Performance relationship, this study proposed the potential role of job demands as an important mediator in this relationship. Job demands include factors like workload, stress, and time pressures. Employees with high EI tend to handle these demands more effectively, leading to reduced stress and burnout consequently increasing job performance. In summary, emotional intelligence serves as a reliable predictor of employee performance and is crucial for maintaining a motivated and high-performing workforce, ultimately benefiting the organization as a whole.
