This study aimed to examine the subject of emotional intelligence (EI), which has received increased attention from scholars over the past few decades. The study utilized a quantitative longitudinal approach to attain the objective of understanding the correlation between EI and psychological well-being. A sample consisting of only male students was sought in this study in a process that was guided by specific criteria. The study reveals that students’ EI correlates positively with perceived social support and well-being at each time and across times. Negative relations are found between perceived stress and well-being at each time and across times. Results and findings reported in this study reveal that perceived social support partially mediates the longitudinal association between EI and well-being. Specifically, perceived stress does not mediate the longitudinal association between EI and well-being.

“…The term has since been popularized by Lave and Wenger [16] and Brown and Duguid [11], and extensively discussed and developed in the literature [4,8,11,[16][17][18]. For the purposes of this study, a CoP is defined as a group of people informally bound together by shared practices, experiences, and expertise for a common enterprise [4,5].…”

“…Numerous studies have attempted to distinguish CoPs from other similar organizing forms, such as teams [4], organizational units, or communities of expertise [12], actor-network [19], knowledge networks, virtual communities [18], and ba (i.e., a shared space for emerging relationships) (Nonaka and Konno 1998). A common conclusion from these efforts is that a CoP is not a new type of organizational structure, but rather one that emphasizes different individual outcomes, such as joint learning [9].…”

This study examines the relationships among individuals' involvement in Communities of Practice (CoPs), learning, and job performance. Drawing on the CoP and learning literatures, we develop a theoretical model exploring how individuals' involvement in CoPs affects their learning and jobperformance. The model is tested using survey data collected from graduate students in a large Canadian university. Results support the hypothesis that CoP involvement is related to learning, and reveals a complex relationship between learning and job performance.

“…Many models of CoPs already exist [5,18]. The model proposed here is a simplified one, which consider the main aspects of these models but allows also considering the concepts behind the original eJournal.…”

Abstract-The paper presents a Web-based collaboration framework designed for sustaining laboratory-oriented activities carried out within academic communities of practice. This framework relies on a Web-based collaboration environment designed as an electronic notebook, such journaling resources being commonly used in laboratory activities for collecting data and thoughts, keeping analyses and notes, as well as sharing information and results. Many electronic notebook systems exist. They are however mostly domain-oriented, as the eJournal environment developed at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) to support collaborative experimentation in engineering education or the Collaboratories supporting experimental research in specific natural science areas. The new version of the eJournal introduced in this paper, namely the CoPs eJournal, aims at overcoming this limitation by focusing more on the context and the community. The CoPs eJournal has been developed jointly by the EPFL and the HE-Arc Ingénierie (School of engineering, University of Applied Sciences, Western Switzerland). The original environment has been designed to sustain collaboration in domains characterized by predefined roles (guests, students, assistants, and educators), predefined types of shared assets (measurement data, equipment settings, experimentation protocols or analysis scripts) and predefined privileges and services. The CoPs eJournal is designed to let the users adapting features, structures and rules according to the tacit and evolving interaction schemes driving their community. This is achieved through the definition of a community protocol. The CoP eJournal has been completely developed as a collection of Web services using the .NET Framework. It is currently refined and validated for sustaining laboratory-oriented activities into two academic contexts. The first one is a learning context where a community collaboratively exploit educational laboratory resources. The second one is a research context where a community whose members belong to different institutions jointly exploit scientific laboratory resources.
