Development of a psychological test to measure ability-based emotional intelligence in the Indonesian workplace using an item response theory

Abstract

This study aimed to develop an emotional intelligence (EI) test that is suitable to the Indonesian workplace context. Airlangga Emotional Intelligence Test (Tes Kecerdasan Emosi Airlangga [TKEA]) was designed to measure three EI domains: 1) emotional appraisal, 2) emotional recognition, and 3) emotional regulation. TKEA consisted of 120 items with 40 items for each subset. TKEA was developed based on the Situational Judgment Test (SJT) approach. To ensure its psychometric qualities, categorical confirmatory factor analysis (CCFA) and item response theory (IRT) were applied to test its validity and reliability. The study was conducted on 752 participants, and the results showed that test information function (TIF) was 3.414 (ability level = 0) for subset 1, 12.183 for subset 2 (ability level = −2), and 2.398 for subset 3 (level of ability = −2). It is concluded that TKEA performs very well to measure individuals with a low level of EI ability. It is worth to note that TKEA is currently at the development stage; therefore, in this study, we investigated TKEA’s item analysis and dimensionality test of each TKEA subset.

“…Keterikatan dengan kelompok menjadi hal yang penting. Dalam dimensi uncertainty avoidance, posisi Indonesia cenderung rendah artinya memiliki perencanaan terhadap kejadian di masa depan dan tidak memiliki ketakutan yang berlebihan terhadap pengambilan keputusan maupun ketidakpastian (Fajrianthi & Zein, 2017). Kondisi ini memiliki kesamaan dengan dimensi budaya Turki yaitu memiliki power distance yang tinggi, berbudaya kolektivis, berorientasi budaya feminin.…”

Adapting the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire Short Form (TEIQUE-SF) into Indonesian Language and Culture Using Confirmatory Factor Analysis

“…According to Mayer, Salovay, & Caruso (2008) emotional intelligence is part of social intelligence that involves individual's ability to monitor controlling feelings and emotions in himself/herself and others and then differentiate and use this ability to direct the individual thoughts and behaviours. In line with this opinion, Fajrianthi and Zein (2017) identified Emotional Intelligence as the ability of individuals to evaluate, interpret, and regulate emotional responses to produce the right actions.…”

Estudo do instrumento de validação de itens de questionário aplicado à psicologia da saúde

“…O desenvolvimento da teoria da resposta ao item (TRI) atingiu um ponto em que diversas aplicações em programas de teste educacional ou psicológico (Fajrianthi, 2017) ou em pesquisa, podem ser realizadas inteiramente com métodos de TRI. No entanto, a TRI só começou a ser aplicada há pouco tempo no campo dos instrumentos de resultados de saúde (Sekely, 2018).…”
