Emotional Intelligence and Study Habits as Predictors of Online Learning Motivation of Students in Filipino

The study aims to predict the level of emotional intelligence, study habits, and their significant influence on the online learning motivation of students in Filipino. Analysis was conducted on data collected from 251 STEM students in selected public Senior High Schools who still opted for online learning as delivery of instruction. The study used a quantitative research design and applied a descriptive-correlational technique. Meanwhile, the adopted survey questionnaire was validated and used to gather the data needed for the study. Results revealed through weighted mean that the level of emotional intelligence, study habits, and online learning motivation of students in Filipino were high. With the help of regression analysis, results proved that there was a significant relationship among variables. Thus, the study also showed that learners with high levels of emotional intelligence and study habits significantly influenced their motivation to learn in an online environment, which results in academic success. These findings indicate that a strong foundation in emotion and systematic study habits in learning plays a vital role in sustaining motivation and acquiring knowledge online. Therefore, students will be more engaged in an online learning environment and will be encouraged to learn intrinsically when their emotional intelligence and study habits are well-established. School management, teachers, and institutions can use these findings to understand, support, and make interventions for the development of motivation in the modern way of learning in the online world.

Factors Influencing Nurses’ Decisions to Leave or Remain in the Home and Community Care Sector During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Background/Objectives: Home and community care (HCC) nurses experienced increased occupational challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, including increased workloads, job stressors, and occupational risks, like virus exposure. The objective of this study was to elucidate what factors influenced nurses’ decisions to stay in their role, take a temporary leave, or exit HCC during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A secondary analysis of data collected using a cross-sectional online open survey distributed among HCC Registered Practical Nurses across Ontario between June and September 2022 was conducted. The factors contributing to nurses’ decision to remain in HCC, temporarily leave, or exit the sector were evaluated using multinomial logistic regression (p < 0.05). Results: Of the 664 participants, 54% (n = 357) stayed in the HCC sector, 30% (n = 199) temporarily left, and 16% (n = 108) exited the sector. Nurses with greater years of experience working in HCC and those who avoided infection were more likely to stay in their role in HCC, which may reflect strong relationships with long-term clients, opportunity and accumulated experience to increase income, and maintenance of good health. Nurses with higher levels of emotional intelligence were more likely to take leaves and exit HCC, suggesting that stepping away may have been a strategy to safeguard themselves. Conclusions: HCC leadership should prioritize the development of solutions to support nurses in the HCC workforce, including those with fewer years of experience. This may promote nurses’ participation in the sector, particularly during times of heightened occupational challenges and crises, like COVID-19.

Data was collected from 353 dental faculties (226 from Private colleges and 127 from Government colleges) using a validated questionnaire. The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between emotional intelligence and job engagement, indicating that higher levels of emotional intelligence were associated with higher levels of job engagement. Furthermore, the relationship between emotional intelligence and job engagement was found to be moderated by the provision of the respondents for getting time bound cadre promotions. The study provides important insights into the factors that contribute to job engagement among dental faculties in Kerala, India, and highlights the importance of emotional intelligence in the workplace. Further research is needed to explore these findings in more detail and to address the limitations of the study.

Relationship between emotional intelligence and quality of healthcare among nurses.

Healthcare organizations worldwide face intense competition for survival in an ever-changing environment. This study aims to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and quality of healthcare (QHC) among Jordanian nurses working in governmental hospitals. This study was conducted using a descriptive correlational design and included a sample of 172 nurses. Participants from five governmental hospitals in Jordan completed online self-administered questionnaires, including the Nurse-Assessed Quality of Nursing Care Scale and the Genos Emotional Intelligence Concise Scale, along with sociodemographic data. The participating nurses demonstrated a high level of EI (M = 3.809, SD ± 0.484) and a very high level of QHC (M = 4.260, SD ± 0.372). A statistically significant correlation was found between the total quality of healthcare variables and the total EI variable (r = 0.739, p < 0.01). Additionally, statistically significant correlations were observed between the QHC and EI, as well as their respective dimensions (r = 0.357-0.739). EI was found to be a significant predictor of the QHC (F = 34.872, p ≤ 0.001), with a positive correlation between the two variables (r = 0.733). EI accounted for 59.8% of the variation in the QHC. EI is a key predictor of QHC. It plays an essential role in recruiting, staffing, promoting, and nurturing employees, making it a crucial criterion for achieving excellence in healthcare organizations.

A STUDY OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INTUITION AND CREATIVITY

Main problem. At the moment, in post-Jungian personality typologies (socionics and MBTI) there are a lot of conflicting hypotheses regarding the intuition / sensory scale.Purpose. Purpose of this article was to testing the content of the Intuition/Sensing scale of Jungian personality types and, namely, the relationship between the Intuition pole and Imagination and Foresight.Methods. For this purpose, we have performed a correlation analysis of typological scales and the scales of the creative thinking model by Williams and the thinking styles model by Epstein.Results and their significance. The results of the analysis demonstrate a statistically significant relationship between the Intuition pole and Imagination. Consequently, it manifests itself in the fact that Intuitive people are more creative than Sensing types people. The Intuition/Sensing scale did not show any correlation with thinking styles by Epstein. According to Epstein, Intuitive thinking style correlateswith the Ethics pole, and Rational thinking style —with the Logic pole. These conclusions are also supported by the relationship between Intuitive thinking style by Epstein and high levels of Emotional Intelligence as measured with the RMET questionnaire. Another important result of this study is the examination of relationship between level of Creativity and Intuitive or Rational thinking styles by Epstein. The results of analysis have shown that high levels of Creativity correlate with high values of both Intuitive and Rational thinking. This suggests that people with a highly developed thinking ability, regardless of its style, are more creative.

Perceived Parenting Styles, Emotional Intelligence and Conflict Resolution Styles among Young Adults

Purpose: Parenting styles greatly influence the development of emotional intelligence and conflict resolution styles among young adults since the very early years of their lives. The understanding how parenting styles and emotional intelligence impact conflict resolution styles of young adults has become progressively urgent. The existing study purposes to inspect the relationship between perceived parenting styles, emotional intelligence, and conflict resolution styles among young adults. The practical implication of this research will provide the future generations in better upbringing of their children that possess high levels of emotional intelligence. Methodology: The study was carried out in a single phase. The study was quantitative, and it was conducted to assess the perceived parenting styles by young adults including assessing their emotional intelligence and identifying their conflict resolution style. The sample of the study was 280 (M=140, F=140) recruited from different universities in Islamabad, Pakistan. Three scales were used for assessment: The Perceived Parenting Styles Scale (PPSC), The Schutte Self Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT) and the Conflict Resolution Styles Inventory (CRSI). Findings: The authoritative parenting style positively correlated with emotional intelligence (r = .47, p &lt; .01) and positive problem-solving (r = .17, p &lt; .01), while negatively relating to conflict engagement (r = -.31, p &lt; .01) and self-protection (r = -.26, p &lt; .01). In contrast, authoritarian and permissive styles were negatively related to emotional intelligence (r = -.13 and r = -.19, respectively) and positively associated with conflict engagement. Males scored higher on emotional intelligence (M = 121.96, SD = 13.73) than females (M = 118.35, SD = 15.87), and PhD students exhibited higher conflict resolution scores than Master's and undergraduate students. These findings highlight the impact of parenting styles on emotional intelligence and conflict resolution skills among young adults. Unique Contributions to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study is guided by The Social Learning Theory by Bandura (1977) sets that young adults copy ways of behaving gained from their childhood, particularly from their parents. Parenting styles perceived during childhood and adolescence could impact how people approach conflicts and social interactions. Another theory which backs this study is Emotional Intelligence theory by Daniel Goleman suggests that individuals consist of a bunch of skills and abilities that would help them in recognizing, understanding and managing their own self emotions as well as emotions of other people. The study recommends that research be conducted in other demographic regions or on a broader level. The study also recommends that other variables such as personality traits and changes over tine should be considered as well for better outcomes.

The Mediating Role of Self-Regulation and Cognitive Styles in the Relationship Between Emotional Intelligence and Job Placement

The present study explores the mediating role of self-regulation and cognitive styles (i.e., rational and intuitive style) on the relationship between emotional intelligence and job placement. A descriptive survey was conducted among 267 final year undergraduate engineering students of which 124 were males (46.5%) and 143 were females (53.5%) aged between 20 to 23 years with a M age of 21.32 and SD of 0.96 selected from the Salem district of Tamil Nadu state in India. The data was collected using the Brief Emotional Intelligence Scale (BEIS 10), Short Self-Regulation Scale (SSRQ-22), and Personal Style Inventory (PSI). The findings indicated that emotional intelligence has a significant positive correlation with self-regulation and rational style. Similarly, self-regulation positively correlated with both rational and intuitive styles. In addition, job-placed students have higher levels of emotional intelligence, self-regulation, and rational style than job-unplaced students. The mediation analysis showed significant direct and indirect effects of emotional intelligence on job placement through self-regulation and rational style. Findings suggest that emotional intelligence, self-regulation, and rational style can foster employability skills that may help job placement. The study has practical implications for educational institutions, academic faculties and placement trainers who are seeking to maximise their student’s job placement and increase the credibility of their institution. Further, the proposed model examines the variables affecting job placement and whereas the relationship with emotional intelligence has theoretical implications that are discussed.

THE EFFECT OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE ON EMPLOYEE GREEN BEHAVIOR: THE CASE OF THE REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA

This study examines the relationship between emotional intelligence (EQ) and employee green behavior (EGB) in the workplace within the context of the Republic of North Macedonia. Given the increasing emphasis on sustainable business practices, understanding the factors influencing employees' environmentally friendly behaviors is essential. This research explores whether higher levels of emotional intelligence among employees contribute to more proactive engagement in green behaviors, such as energy conservation, waste management and recycling at work. The findings suggest that emotional intelligence significantly influences employee green behavior, with implications for organizational strategies aimed at fostering sustainability. Additionally, the study investigates gender differences in the relationship between EQ and EGB. Results indicate that female employees are more likely to engage in green behaviors compared to their male counterparts, although emotional intelligence remains the more substantial predictor of EGB regardless of gender. These insights highlight the importance of developing EQ across all employees while considering gender dynamics to enhance organizational sustainability efforts.

Emotional Intelligence as Critical Competence in Nurses' Work Performance: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Emotional intelligence may help nurses to cope with demanding work environments where the need to improve the quality and safety of the care provided, as well as the care of the chronically ill, prevails. Although it is well known that emotional intelligence is positively related to work performance, the literature on nurses is limited. The aim of our study was to examine the impact of emotional intelligence on work performance in a sample of nurses in Greece. We conducted a cross-sectional study with 318 nurses. We collected data from a convenience sample of nurses during January 2024. Since we conducted an online survey through social media, our sample could not be representative of all nurses in Greece. For instance, older nurses may be underrepresented in our study due to limited access on social media. We measured emotional intelligence with the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (TEIQue-SF) and work performance with the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ). We created multivariable linear regression models adjusted for sex, age, educational level, and work experience. We followed the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines. We found that the four streams of emotional intelligence (i.e., well-being, self-control, emotionality, sociability) increased nurses' work performance. In particular, we found a positive relationship between well-being and task performance (adjusted beta = 0.210, 95% CI = 0.140 to 0.281, p-value < 0.001) and contextual performance (adjusted beta = 0.135, 95% CI = 0.050 to 0.221, p-value = 0.002). Similarly, there was a positive relationship between self-control and task performance (adjusted beta = 0.136, 95% CI = 0.030 to 0.241, p-value = 0.012). Additionally, sociability increased task performance (adjusted beta = 0.223, 95% CI = 0.151 to 0.295, p-value < 0.001) and contextual performance (adjusted beta = 0.198, 95% CI = 0.111 to 0.286, p-value < 0.001). Moreover, emotionality (adjusted beta = -0.198, 95% CI = -0.319 to -0.076, p-value = 0.002) and sociability (adjusted beta = -0.133, 95% CI = -0.221 to -0.044, p-value = 0.003) reduced counterproductive work behavior. Our multivariable models identified a positive impact of emotional intelligence on nurses' work performance. Nurse managers and healthcare organizations should adopt appropriate interventions to improve nurses' emotional intelligence. Enhancing emotional intelligence among nurses can improve work performance and, thus, healthcare outcomes. Moreover, higher levels of emotional intelligence may empower nurses' compassion and resilience, fostering a supportive work environment. In this context, the well-being of both nurses and patients may improve.

The Relationship Between Addiction and Emotional Intelligence in the Ukrainian Socio-Cultural Context: Challenges of Emigration

Introduction: The development of emotional intelligence has a positive impact on the process of adaptation of migrants from Ukraine in the European Union and prevents the spread of addictions. Aim: The aim of this research was to study the relationship between migrants' emotional intelligence and the development of addictions in the context of adaptation to new conditions due to the hostilities. Methods: the study used such methods as testing and questionnaires, respectively, ASI and Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT). Results: It was found that individuals with a higher level of emotional intelligence have a lower tendency to form various types of addictions, while those with a lower level of EI are more vulnerable to these problems. This suggests that a high level of emotional intelligence contributes to better emotion management, the ability to adapt to stressful situations, and a better understanding of one's own needs and motivations. Conclusion: a high level of emotional intelligence makes it possible to prevent the formation of dependencies in the process of cross-cultural adaptation of migrants from Ukraine to new conditions against the background of a hostilities in Ukraine.

Study on the Psychological Factor Within the Middle School Footbal Team

The psychological factor is one of the least exploited aspects of football. In sports, developing performance capacity is the primary objective of training. Maintaining motivation and achieving performance are the foundations of the educational-instructional process and have great value as outcomes both individually and for the team. Research hypotheses. (H1). It is assumed that the members of the national football team have average/above-average emotional intelligence (test score =&gt; 100), significantly different from the rest of the students in grades VII-VIII, because teamwork and the psychological training included in the preparation develop the mental qualities and properties of the students who play football. (H2). It is assumed that there is a significant correlation between emotional intelligence and the performance of students in the experimental group. Research methods. In the present research, the initial testing was carried out among students in grades VII-VIII and the national football team (February 2024 – May 2024). This research was conducted at “Sf. Ilie” General School in Toplița. The research subjects were 68 students, 35 females and 33 males. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used, and the following methods were chosen: observation, emotional intelligence test (Roco, 2001), performance test (ball sense, heading the ball, complex test, shooting at two goals, bilateral game), and statistical analysis (t-test). Results. The level of emotional intelligence of the students is 86 and 81 in the national football team, below average, which raises a red flag. At the level of the national football team, a strong self-awareness among the students is noted. This indicator has the highest score, 500, far ahead of empathy (-180) and very far ahead of social skills (-360). After applying to the middle school team's training program, we see a significant increase in the level of emotional intelligence. The correlation statistical test and the t-test show a correlation of r=0.86 and a significance of p=0.00 between the initial and final test results. The Pearson correlation shows a strong link between emotional intelligence and the bilateral game (r=0.76), but does not show a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and the other performance indicators. To confirm if the value of r is statistically significant, i.e., if the two variables are correlated, the t-value was calculated. Conclusions. This research confirms that the psychological factor cannot be absent from the preparation of school representative teams. It was confirmed that a high level of emotional intelligence improves the performance of football players, especially in team play, increasing group cohesion. Keywords: football, psychological factor, performance, athletes, school team

Unequal Ground: Gender Disparities at Work Life in the Construction Industry

This research intends to explore how gender impacts different aspects of the quality of work life, emotional intelligence, and the work–family interface among professionals in the Indian construction industry. This study employs quantitative methodology using a questionnaire survey. The questionnaires were circulated to 900 construction professionals, and 724 valid responses were received, resulting in a response rate of 80.44%. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and independent sample t-Tests. The independent samples t-Test revealed significant (p &lt; 0.05) gender disparities in various quality of work life factors, emotional intelligence, and work–family interface. Males had a more positive perception of career growth, management, and the working environment. In contrast, females experienced higher job satisfaction, work commitment, personal satisfaction towards their workplace and personal life, a higher work–family interface, and a better work–life balance. Females also experienced a higher level of physical exhaustion and had a higher level of emotional intelligence, while males experienced a higher level of mental exhaustion. There were no significant gender differences in satisfaction towards remuneration and fringe benefits, work culture, or the level of psychological exhaustion. The findings suggest that construction industry organizations could implement policies and practices that promote equal opportunities, provide support for work–family integration, and foster a culture of emotional intelligence. This research adds to the current body of knowledge by igniting novel empirical proof of gender-based differences in the Indian construction industry. It highlights the importance of addressing these disparities to improve the quality of work life, emotional intelligence, and work–family interface among professionals in the industry.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND WORK STRESS ON THE QUALITY OF PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS IN AYER KEROH, MELAKA

This study investigated the relationship between emotional intelligence, work stress, and the quality of primary school teachers in Ayer Keroh, Melaka. A sample of 298 teachers participated in the study, completing a questionnaire that assessed emotional intelligence, work stress, and teacher quality. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 28.0, employing descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation.The findings revealed that the teachers in this study generally demonstrated high levels of emotional intelligence and quality, with moderate levels of work stress. A significant positive correlation was found between emotional intelligence and teacher quality (r = 0.231, p &lt; 0.01), suggesting that teachers with higher emotional intelligence tend to exhibit higher quality teaching practices. Conversely, a significant negative correlation was observed between work stress and teacher quality (r = -0.187, p &lt; 0.01), indicating that increased work stress may hinder teacher quality.These results underscore the importance of emotional intelligence in enhancing teacher quality, while highlighting the detrimental impact of high work stress. Therefore, it is imperative for schools and relevant stakeholders to prioritize interventions aimed at fostering emotional intelligence and mitigating work stress among teachers, ultimately contributing to the improvement of overall teaching quality.

Self-Esteem and Anxiety as Mediators in the Relationship Between Emotional Intelligence and Eating Disorder Symptoms.

This study investigated the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and eating disorder symptoms (EDS) by testing the serial mediation model, with self-esteem and anxiety as mediators. A total of 923 participants (61.9% female) aged 15-60 years completed questionnaires assessing their EI, self-esteem, anxiety, and EDS. Correlational analyses were conducted to assess the relationship between the study variables, and a serial mediation analysis was conducted to test the possible mediating role of self-esteem and anxiety in the relationship between EI and EDS. Correlation analyses revealed significant bivariate relationships between EI, self-esteem, and anxiety, but no significant correlation between EI and EDS. The relationship between EI and EDS was serially mediated by self-esteem and anxiety. High levels of EI were associated with higher self-esteem, which, in turn, was associated with lower anxiety and less EDS. The results offer potential mechanisms that could explain the relationship between EI and EDS and highlight the importance of EI in regulating eating behavior through self-esteem and anxiety.

The level of emotional intelligence is average at 66.7%. It was concluded that the correlation is very low with a negative direction of -0.39, with a significance of 0.879; Therefore, in the face of a higher p-value (0.879&gt; 0.05) with a bilateral test, the alternative hypothesis is rejected and it is accepted that there is no significant relationship between management and emotional intelligence of the directors of private universities. Implications of the researc: with this research it has been shown that the management carried out by managers is not associated with emotional intelligence. Therefore, just because managers perform good management does not necessarily indicate that they have a high level of emotional intelligence.

Emotional Intelligence and Clinical Performance in Psychiatric Nursing Students

Emotional Intelligence (EI) has gained considerable attention in nursing due to its positive effects on nurses' well-being and its beneficial impact on patients and families. Emotional intelligence involves understanding and managing one's own emotions and the emotions of others, which is crucial for nurses who build relationships with patients, families, and healthcare team members. Despite the recognised importance of emotional intelligence, non-academic factors like emotional intelligence are rarely considered in nursing program admissions, with GPA being the primary indicator of academic performance. Given the limited studies on emotional intelligence and academic performance in the Philippines, this study aimed to determine the relationship between nursing students' emotional intelligence and their psychiatric nursing clinical practice performance. This study employed a descriptive correlational design and included a substantial sample of 173 fourth-year nursing students who completed their psychiatric nursing clinical practice and were enrolled in the academic year 2017. Total population sampling was utilised, ensuring a comprehensive representation of the student population. The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (Pearson-r) was used to determine the correlation between emotional intelligence and clinical performance. The results, based on these methods, indicated that all respondents had moderate to high levels of emotional intelligence. Nearly half of the respondents achieved a satisfactory grade, with the majority having average to satisfactory performance. Female respondents had slightly higher grades than male respondents, and there was a significant difference in performance based on the respondents' school but not their age. Importantly, there was no significant correlation between emotional intelligence and clinical performance in psychiatric nursing, a finding that was consistent with the literature. This insight is valuable for educators and curriculum developers, as it underscores the need to consider a broader range of factors beyond academic performance in nursing education. It also highlights the importance of providing support and resources to enhance students' emotional intelligence skills. Further research is recommended to explore the role of emotional intelligence in nursing education and consider additional factors that may influence academic and clinical performance.
