“…In addition, our results, together with previous work (Furnham et al, 2014 ; Boyatzis et al, 2015 ), show the importance of considering 360-degree behavioral assessments of EI. People at different organizational levels may have unique vantage points from which to observe distinct facets of behavior, depending on the specific relationship and rapport they have with the person being assessed.…”

Prior research on emotional intelligence (EI) has highlighted the use of incremental models that assume EI and general intelligence (or g) make independent contributions to performance. Questioning this assumption, we study EI's moderation power over the relationship between g and individual performance, by designing and testing a task-dependent interaction model. Reconciling divergent findings in previous studies, we propose that whenever social tasks are at stake, g has a greater effect on performance as EI increases. By contrast, in analytic tasks, a compensatory (or negative) interaction is expected, whereby at higher levels of EI, g contributes to performance at a lesser extent. Based on a behavioral approach to EI, using 360-degree assessments of EI competencies, our findings show that EI moderates the effect of g on the classroom performance of 864 MBA business executives. Whilst in analytic tasks g has a stronger effect on performance at lower levels of EI competencies, our data comes short to show a positive interaction of EI and g in affecting performance on social tasks. Contributions and implications to research and practice are discussed.

“…Most research in the field of EI is based on self-reports, so it is, de facto, conducted within the broader domain of trait EI. Although comparatively limited, there is an emerging literature on observer reports (e.g., Furnham, Race, & Rosen, 2014; Gugliandolo, Costa, Cuzzocrea, Larcan, & Petrides, 2015) that also falls within the trait EI domain, concerning, as it does, perceptions of emotion.…”

Trait emotional intelligence ("trait EI") concerns our perceptions of our emotional abilities, i.e., how good we believe we are in terms of understanding, regulating, and expressing emotions in order to adapt to our environment and maintain well-being. In this article, we present succinct summaries of selected findings from research on a) the location of trait EI in personality factor space b) the biological underpinnings of the construct c) indicative applications in the areas of clinical, health, social, educational, organizational, and developmental psychology, and d) trait EI training. Findings to date suggest that individual differences in trait EI are a consistent predictor of human behavior across the life span.
