Examining the Effects of Gender and Work Experience on the Relationship Between Social Intelligence, Job Satisfaction, and Service Employee Engagement

Social intelligence is one of the newest concepts to come up with in management literature. This study provides a thorough framework for examining the mediation role of service employee engagement (SEE) in the relationship between job satisfaction and social intelligence (SI). Accordingly, in this framework, it has used social intelligence as a multifaceted construct within the setting of Saudi society and its hotels. A survey questionnaire was distributed to 485 hotel employees in the KSA via the drop and collect method. Our research findings utilizing Structural Equation Modeling demonstrated that SI is a multidimensional construct. Additionally, the results confirmed that SEE plays a full mediating role between SI and JS. The findings highlight the significance role of the gender and work experience in Saudi society. It was obvious that women in the hotel industry with high SI tend to experience greater JS contributing to increased employment rates for women in KSA.

Social Intelligence and Media Literacy of Senior High School Students

This study aimed to determine the relationship between social intelligence and media literacy of senior high school students. A correlational design was used in this study. It was participated by 300 senior high school students. A survey questionnaire on social intelligence and media literacy were used as instruments. Mean and Pearson correlation coefficient were used to analyze the data. This study revealed that social intelligence of students is high which means that students can read other people and understand their intentions and motivations. Likewise, media literacy of senior high school students is high which implies students are good in perceiving the use of media and are aware of its negative and positive use. Furthermore, there is a moderate positive correlation between social intelligence and media literacy. This may further imply that a higher social intelligence can improve media literacy. Thus, the conduct of social intelligence enhancement program is recommended to improve the media literacy of the students.

Rethinking Aggressive behavior in Adolescents: an exploration of the relationship between social Intelligence and empathy

This literature review rethinks aggressive behavior in adolescents and focuses on its analysis through the lens of social intelligence and empathy. Aggressive behavior is essential in adolescence because this period is a critical stage for developing emotional cognition and social skills. This article attempts to explain and analyze how social intelligence and empathy influence aggressive behavior in adolescents. Social intelligence is a crucial factor influencing an individual’s performance in social situations. Empathy is the ability to understand and care about the feelings of others, and empathy is associated with more positive conflict resolution skills. Studies have found a positive correlation between high social intelligence and lower aggressive behavior. Highly empathetic adolescents were more likely to use positive conflict resolution methods, thus reducing the likelihood of aggressive behavior. Finally, the essay makes recommendations for future research, including further exploration of the influence of other factors on aggressive behavior. These studies contribute to a deeper understanding of the complexity of adolescent aggressive behavior and provide a theoretical basis for research interventions.

Social intelligence mediates the protective role of resting-state brain activity in the social cognition network against social anxiety.

Social intelligence refers to an important psychosocial skill set encompassing an array of abilities, including effective self-expression, understanding of social contexts, and acting wisely in social interactions. While there is ample evidence of its importance in various mental health outcomes, particularly social anxiety, little is known on the brain correlates underlying social intelligence and how it can mitigate social anxiety. This research aims to investigate the functional neural markers of social intelligence and their relations to social anxiety. Data of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging and behavioral measures were collected from 231 normal students aged 16 to 20 years (48% male). Whole-brain voxel-wise correlation analysis was conducted to detect the functional brain clusters related to social intelligence. Correlation and mediation analyses explored the potential role of social intelligence in the linkage of resting-state brain activities to social anxiety. Social intelligence was correlated with neural activities (assessed as the fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations, fALFF) among two key brain clusters in the social cognition networks: negatively correlated in left superior frontal gyrus (SFG) and positively correlated in right middle temporal gyrus. Further, the left SFG fALFF was positively correlated with social anxiety; brain-personality-symptom analysis revealed that this relationship was mediated by social intelligence. These results indicate that resting-state activities in the social cognition networks might influence a person's social anxiety via social intelligence: lower left SFG activity → higher social intelligence → lower social anxiety. These may have implication for developing neurobehavioral interventions to mitigate social anxiety.

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ МЕНЕДЖМЕНТУ В УМОВАХ BANI-СВІТУ

Today, rapid changes have become the norm for domestic enterprises. They encourage them to search for new effective management tools and change the management paradigm in general. Under these circumstances, managing the development of an enterprise is an extremely challenging task for managers at all levels of management, as only those enterprises that are able to adapt their management system to new challenges and opportunities to improve performance will be able to survive. The modification of the basic elements of the management process is closely of the fundamental change in the defining parameters of the environment and the formation of new realities of business. The BANI world order requires the management of enterprises to develop new management models that would ensure rapid adaptation to new circumstances. The BANI world is an extremely unstable world order in which changes are chaotic under the influence of global systemic changes, and technology development is occurring at an extremely rapid pace. In order to survive in the BANI world, a business entity needs to adapt and reorient quickly, be flexible and anti-fragile, think non-linearly, and form emotional supports, including developing empathy and emotional intelligence. In this regard, the modern management paradigm should be based on a systemic and situational approach to management and managerial art. The main principles of effective work of a modern manager in the BANI world are: flexibility and adaptability; innovation; risk-orientation; dynamism; efficiency; complexity; stress resistance; care for the interests of society and environmental protection; impartiality of thinking. The most effective tools for ensuring the effective functioning of enterprises in the BANI world order are the Agile-approach, design thinking technology, and value approach. Changing business conditions require modern managers to have not only traditional "hard skills" and "soft skills" but also "meta skills". The main qualities required of a modern manager are adaptability; critical and creative thinking; empathy; high emotional and social intelligence; creativity; ability to build horizontal relationships with employees; and the ability to make informed management decisions in the face of limited information.

Online sharing behaviors driven by need for approval: the choice of individuals with low social intelligence and high gratitude?

Knowledge sharing as an altruistic behavior has gained widespread attention. In the information age, online sharing is increasingly popular and has become an important way of exchanging and stimulating knowledge. Through a survey of 458 employees in China, this study examines the influence mechanism of need for approval on individual online sharing behavior and the moderating effect of gratitude and social intelligence. Study findings show that self-presentation has a mediating effect between need for approval and online sharing behavior, and individual need for approval can promote online sharing behavior by enhancing self-presentation. Gratitude and social intelligence both have positive moderating effects on the relations between self-presentation and online sharing behavior. Gratitude moderates the indirect influence of need for approval on online sharing behavior through self-presentation. Individuals with high gratitude and high social intelligence at the same time can strengthen the positive effect of self-presentation on online sharing behavior. Individuals can meet their approval need and obtain learning opportunities through online sharing behaviors. Organizations can select talents and obtain valuable information by establishing sharing platforms. Governments should also regulate online platforms for knowledge exchange as well as encourage individual online sharing behaviors.

Predicting breakthrough innovation engagement via hybrid intelligence: a moderated mediation model of self-extinction and social intelligence

PurposeThis study aims at investigating how hybrid intelligence might enhance employee engagement in breakthrough innovation. Specifically, it empirically examines the mediating role of self-extinction and moderating role of social intelligence.Design/methodology/approachThis study, using the lens of socio-technical system (STS) theory, collected data from 317 employees through cross-sectional survey. The hypotheses were tested using MPlus 8.3 by applying Structural Equation Modelling (SEM).FindingsThe results support the proposed model, suggesting that hybrid intelligence fosters employees' breakthrough innovation engagement and such a relationship is fully mediated by self-extinction. Besides, the findings provide support for the positive moderating impact of social intelligence on such indirect relationships in a way that high social intelligence will further strengthen the relationship.Originality/valueAs a pioneering contribution, the study uncovers the social mechanism that underlies hybrid intelligence–breakthrough innovation engagement relationship via self-extinction. The research suggests managers leveraging employees' social intelligence for playing a critical role in countering the negative impact of self-extinction by enhancing the employees' engagement in the breakthrough innovation process.

Using theory of mind to understand the impact of Covid-19 fear on healthcare workers’ withdrawal intentions

PurposeHealthcare workers’ (HCWs’) job-related high exposure to Covid-19 virus arouses fear of Covid-19 among them. Based on the Theory of Mind (ToM), the study predicts that fears will lead to negative psychological (psychological distress) and behavioral (withdrawal intentions) outcomes. ToM is also used to identify social intelligence as a means to counter fear of Covid-19 on heightened psychological distress and increased withdrawal intentions.Design/methodology/approachTo investigate the study design, a sample of 262 HCWs, including doctors, nurses and technicians, were surveyed using standardized questionnaires.FindingsAs predicted, Covid-19 fear led to increased withdrawal intentions with heightened psychological distress partially mediating the relationship. The alleviating role of social intelligence on the effects of Covid-19 was supported as high social intelligence reduced HCWs’ turnover intentions, with decreased psychological distress partially mediating the relationship.Originality/valueGiven the universality of the Theory of Mind (ToM), the findings of this study are likely to be generalizable to all pandemics. The study results support the increased application of ToM in organizational settings and have both theoretical and practical implications for health administrators. Based on study results, health administrators are exhorted to develop ToM-based mental models to understand and deal with the fear of contagious diseases. Health administrators can also increase HCWs’ social intelligence to deal with the negative perceptual and behavioral outcomes arising from the emotions aroused by the nature of their work.

PENGARUH POLA ASUH ORANG TUA TERHADAP KECERDASAN SOSIAL SISWA KELAS V MADRASAH IBTIDAIYAH NURUL ISLAM CIBINONG DEPOK

Parents are the first people who can be invited to interact, adapt or socialize well to people in their environment. However in the phenomena that there are sometimes found children with poor social intelligence, so often experience social problems in socializing such as difficulty adapting, lack of sense of four with people around and often throwing tantrums with others. One of the factors causing this is due to the lack of good social intelligence of children could be due to the adaption of parenting parents. This is the background of the writer influence of parenting parents on social intelligence of students of the 5th grade MI Nurul Islam Cibinong Depok. The purpose of this study was to determine parenting style of parents, the level of social intelligence of students and the effect of parenting style on social intelligence of fifth grade students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Cibinong Depok. The method in this research is Ex-post Facto quantitative. The population and sample were all 20 grade V students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Nurul Islam Cibinong Depok. The data collection tool in this study was a questionnaire given to fifth grade students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Nurul Islam Cibinong Depok. The questionnaire instrument, which included the parenting style questionnaire given to the social intelligence questionnaire given to fifth grade students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Cibinong Depok, had its validity and reliability tested. The results of the research: that the majority of the parents of MI Nurul Islam Cibinong Depok are adopting democratic parenting as many as 11 parents, while parents who apply permassive parenting as much as 4 parents, and parents who apply authoritarian parenting as much as 5 parents. And the level of social intelligence of students namely, 12 students with moderate intelligence, 5 students with low intelligence, and 3 students with high social intelligence. From the result of hypothesis testing, it is known that the simple linear regression value of parenting parents in students’ social intelligence 59, 855 with sig. (2-tailed) of 0, 000. And by comparing the significant leel of 0, 05 (5%) sig, (2-tailed) is smaller than 0, 05 (5%). Which means that Ho is rejected and Ha Fail to be rejected. Which means that there is an influence between parenting on the social intelligence of 5th grade students MI Nurul Islam Cibinong Depok. And from the test of determination (r), it is stated that the influence of parenting parents on students’ social intelligence is 0,769%.

A Moderating Role of Social Intelligence and Creativity During Primary Career Exploration in Late Adolescence

IntroductionCareer self-exploration activities can be defined as orienting oneself in one’s own vocational interests, skills, job, and organizational characteristics and as an important career pre-decision stage (Stumpf et al., 1983). Effective career exploratory behaviors are associated with less anxiety regarding uncertainty and difficulties during first career decision-making (Storme, Celik, 2017; Xu et al., 2014). In Study 1, we showed that productive career self-exploration in adolescence is associated with a high level of tolerance for uncertainty (TU) (Chesnokova, Churbanova et al., 2022).ObjectivesThe aim of Study 2 was to compare the social intelligence (SI) and creativity (Cr) of students with high and low level career adapt-abilities applied to present and prospective future career decisions.MethodsParticipants were 67 students (15-17 years old). SI was assessed by O’Sullivan & Guilford’s Tests (1966), Cr was measured by CAP consisted of Test of Divergent Thinking and Test of Divergent Feeling (Williams, 1980). Career adapt-abilities were estimated by CAAS (Savickas & Porfeli, 2012; Pryazhnikov, 2016).ResultsTwo contrast clusters based on SI and Cr mediated by TU level were analysed. One cluster included students with high pragmatic motivation concerning career path choice. There were students with high TU, high SI and cognitive Cr and low level of Divergent Feeling who focusing on nearest obstacles like entrance exams and distant professional future (professional revenues, social status and on task-oriented content). They are open to new career experiences and flexible in career choice (at r .56, p .001), but they lack social intelligence’s diplomatic techniques and cognitively complicated interpersonal situational awareness. They mostly rely on academic aptitude and self-efficacy. The second cluster of students was made up of those with low TU, average to low SI, and high levels of divergent feelings. They exhibited less pragmatist motivation and active career exploratory behaviors regarding both immediate and long-term professional paths, professional values, the human aspects of potential careers, the social structure of professional society, and the need to use emotional intelligence when interacting with clients and working in teams. They rely on social support from professional representatives and teachers during their career decision making.ConclusionsIn sum, SI and Divergent feelings may be significant mediators in the development of career adaptability and realistic self-perceived confidence in task-oriented content as well as interpersonal specificity of professional social environments. To reduce stress and anxiety of prospective students, the development of self-efficacy and motivation should be given priority over just academic readiness for exams and narrow professional skills.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Artificial Social Intelligence: A Comparative and Holistic View

In addition to a physical comprehension of the world, humans possess a high social intelligence—the intelligence that senses social events, infers the goals and intents of others, and facilitates social interaction. Notably, humans are distinguished from their closest primate cousins by their social cognitive skills as opposed to their physical counterparts. We believe that artificial social intelligence (ASI) will play a crucial role in shaping the future of artificial intelligence (AI). This article begins with a review of ASI from a cognitive science standpoint, including social perception, theory of mind (ToM), and social interaction. Next, we examine the recently-emerged computational counterpart in the AI community. Finally, we provide an in-depth discussion on topics related to ASI.

Peer Attachment and Proactive Socialization Behavior: The Moderating Role of Social Intelligence.

Proactive socialization involves an active attempt to integrate into an organization, which can help an individual complete the transition from student to employee. This study—conducted via a survey involving college graduates (one year after graduation)—explores the peer attachment influence mechanism on proactive socialization behaviors and the moderating effects of social intelligence. The results of the empirical analysis show that core self-evaluation has a mediating effect between peer attachment and individual proactive socialization behavior. Peer trust and peer communication can improve individual proactive socialization behavior by enhancing core self-evaluation, but peer alienation may reduce core self-evaluation and inhibit individual proactive socialization behavior in the workplace. Social intelligence has a moderating mediating role between peer attachment, core self-evaluation, and proactive socialization behavior. High social intelligence may enhance the indirect influence of peer trust and communication on proactive socialization behavior through core self-evaluation and weaken the indirect influence of peer alienation on proactive socialization behavior through core self-evaluation. In recruitment and selection, organizations can predict the proactive socialization behaviors of candidates by investigating their peer relationships, and can also strive to create a harmonious working atmosphere and relationship to help new employees integrate into the organization.

The Relevance of Social Intelligence for Effective Optimization of Retirement and Successful Ageing.

Retirement is a psycho social process. It refers to the phase of life when a person leaves his job and withdraws from active working life. Proper optimization of retirement is only possible when a person has pre planned his life with proper finances and saving or the government is providing him with a lot of social security benefits. However, such conditions rarely occur as a person is preoccupied in his pre retirement phases. But proper optimization of retirement can also take place when a person has high social intelligence which affects physical and mental health. Hence, this paper is an endeavor to look into the relevance of social intelligence which helps the people in their retirement process in the people. Thus, a survey was done to find the level of Social Intelligence in the people who are ageing and are going to be retired soon. Around 252 people between 55 to 70 years were studied from Delhi and NCR. The result indicated that middle aged and just retired people had high social intelligence as compared to older adults and the former were also able to optimize their retirement effectively for successful ageing. The older adults were not able to cope up with the various issues of retirement due to low social intelligence. Hence, further studies can be carried out to design proper training for enhancement of social intelligence in aged people for their effective optimization of retirement.

Do Nursing Students Have High Social Intelligence? Findings from Selected Nursing College, South India

Background: Social intelligence is the capacity to know oneself and to know others. Social intelligence can be expressed as a measure of social awareness, social skills and social information process. Nursing is a career, which demands high level of social intelligence. The aim of the present study was to describe the social intelligence among nursing students in a selected nursing college, south India.Methods: Descriptive survey design was used to conduct the study among 323 Nursing students South India. After getting ethical clearance and informed consent from the subjects the data were collected during the month in March 2020 using the standardised tool “Tromso Social Intelligence Scale”. Cluster random sampling was used to conduct the study. Nursing students currently undergoing their course are included in the study and those who were suspended or dismissed from their course or absent during the time of data collection were excluded from the study.Results: Among 323 subjects’ majority 229 (70.9 %) were in <20 years of age. Most of the subjects 315 (97.5%) were females. The subjects are studying in the first, second, third and fourth year of the course. Two hundred and thirty (71.2 %) are belonged to rural community. The average social intelligence score is around 90 [Q1= 85, Q3= 95]. It is observed that variables such as age, year of study and occupation of father are significantly associated with Social intelligence score [p<0.05].Conclusions: From the present study, it is observed that nursing students are equipped with good levels of social intelligence.

Neuroanatomical Correlates of Social Intelligence Measured by the Guilford Test

Social interactions are a crucial aspect of human behaviour. Numerous neurophysiological studies have focused on socio-cognitive processes associated with the so-called theory of mind—the ability to attribute mental states to oneself and others. Theory of mind is closely related to social intelligence defined as a set of abilities that facilitate effective social interactions. Social intelligence encompasses multiple theory of mind components and can be measured by the Four Factor Test of Social Intelligence (the Guilford-Sullivan test). However, it is unclear whether the differences in social intelligence are reflected in structural brain differences. During the experiment, 48 healthy right-handed individuals completed the Guilford-Sullivan test. T1-weighted structural MRI images were obtained for all participants. Voxel-based morphometry analysis was performed to reveal grey matter volume differences between the two groups (24 subjects in each)—with high social intelligence scores and with low social intelligence scores, respectively. Participants with high social intelligence scores had larger grey matter volumes of the bilateral caudate. The obtained results suggest the caudate nucleus involvement in the neural system of socio-cognitive processes, reflected by its structural characteristics.

Emotional labour, social intelligence, and narcissism among physicians in Jordan

Although many studies have investigated relationships between emotional labour and emotional intelligence among hospital staff, few have paid attention to social intelligence in this field. This study explored the relationships between emotional labour, social intelligence, and narcissism among physicians in governmental hospitals in Jordan. The goal was to improve the understanding of the causes of patients abusing physicians in Jordan. Some patients have maintained that physicians are responsible for hostile behaviour against them, as these resulted from medical errors, physician negligence, and a failure to provide adequate care, exacerbated by physician narcissism, lack of empathy, verbal miscommunication, and lack of sympathy in critical cases. Findings confirmed that whenever physicians engage in strategies of emotional labour, they display higher social intelligence and lower levels of narcissism. Moreover, social intelligence does not mediate the relationship between emotional labour and narcissism. The results of the study suggest that interventions by the Jordan Medical Association to reduce physical and verbal assaults on physicians should encompass more than a mere legal focus.

Spatial perspective taking is related to social intelligence and attachment style

Individuals differ both in spatial and social perspective-taking, yet the links between the two are not well understood. Individuals differ in the spatial perspective they naturally adopt, but also in their ability to change perspectives. The present study investigated whether individual differences in spatial perspective-taking are related to social intelligence and adult attachment style. Spatial perspective-taking was measured using a graphesthesia task, in which ambiguous tactile symbols can be interpreted from different spatial perspectives. The task identified the spatial perspective individuals spontaneously adopted, then assessed the ability to change between natural and unnatural perspectives. Participants demonstrated a cost of switching to an unnatural perspective and a benefit of returning to their natural perspective. A greater cost of switching to an unnatural perspective was associated with lower anxious attachment. A stronger benefit of returning to one's natural perspective was associated with higher social intelligence. These findings suggest that a strong grounding in one's natural spatial perspective is associated with lower interpersonal anxiety and higher social intelligence. Building on these results, future studies should further investigate causal relationships between social and spatial perspective-taking.

Social Intelligence Attenuates Association between Peer Victimization and Depressive Symptoms among Adolescents.

Peer victimization is linked to psychological distress, but some youth are less affected than others. Identifying protective factors can inform prevention programs. Using longitudinal data from 7th graders we tested the role of social intelligence as a protective factor in the relation between peer victimization and depressive symptoms. Students (N = 986; 54% female; 43% non-white) from three schools provided self-report data via computer-assisted survey interviews in the fall (Time 1, T1) and spring (Time 2, T2) of 7th grade. Females reported more depressive symptoms and less physical victimization than males but did not differ from males on social intelligence or relational victimization. Regression analyses controlling for T1 depressive symptoms and other potential confounds revealed that both physical and relational victimization were positively and significantly associated with T2 depressive symptoms, but the strength of the relation varied by gender and by social intelligence. Specifically, the associations between victimization and depressive symptoms were stronger among females than males and among those with low or moderate rather than high social intelligence. Social intelligence may protect youth from the psychological harms of peer victimization and could be an effective target of prevention programming.

Scientific Approach to Promote Response Fluency Viewed from Social Intelligence: Is It Effective?

<p style="text-align:justify">This study was aimed at investigating whether or not there is an interaction between learning approach and social intelligence towards response fluency. A number of 126 eighth grade students (M = 13.9; SD = 0.5 years) in Bojonegoro, Indonesia were randomly selected to participate in this study. This research used 2x3 factorial quasi-experiment with the matching static comparison design. The statistical Analysis Of Covariance (ANCOVA) ware implemented for analysis of data in the study. The results show that: there is a significant difference in response to fluency between students who learn with a scientific approach and direct learning approach; there are significant differences in response to fluency between students who have high, medium, and low social intelligence, both in scientific and direct learning approaches, the students with high social intelligence levels have better response to fluency than those with moderate social intelligence or low, and the students with moderate social intelligence have better response to fluency than those with low social intelligence, in all levels of social intelligence, the students who were taught by using scientific approach have better response to fluency than those who were taught by using direct learning approach.</p>
