“…By regulating negative emotions, high-EI individuals may typically experience lower levels of negative affect (MacCann et al 2020b). They may also experience higher levels of positive affect, possibly through mechanisms that link EI to engagement with the environment (Robinson et al 2022). These associations could in turn mediate relationships between variations in ability EI and variations in life satisfaction, eudaimonia, and meaning (Fernández-Berrocal and Extremera 2016).…”

Emotionally intelligent people are thought to be more skilled in recognizing, thinking about, using, and regulating emotions. This construct has garnered considerable interest, but initial enthusiasm has faded and it is time to take stock. There is consensus that ability-related measures of emotional intelligence (EI) can be favored to self-report tests, in part because the resulting scores cannot be equated with personality traits. However, there are questions surrounding measurement as well as predictive value. Experts in the field were encouraged to chart new directions, with the idea that these new directions could reinvigorate EI scholarship. Special Issue papers speak to theory, mechanism, measurement, and training. In addition, these papers seek to forge links with research traditions focused on interpersonal perception, emotional awareness, and emotion regulation. As a result of these efforts, new insights into what EI is and how it works can be anticipated in upcoming years.

“…Prosocial behaviors (PSBs) or "the extra-role behaviors such as the acts of volunteering and supporting colleagues" (Brief and Motowidlo, 1986) are also linked in the past literature with SL and AC (Fry et al, 2010;Benefiel, 2005). In a recent study, Robinson et al (2021) suggested that there exist synergies among mindfulness and emotional intelligence in supporting positive effects (and strongly reducing negative affect) and social engagement. However, the research studies have paved the way to understand the underpinnings and mechanisms of SL exclusively on individual elements, but there is a dearth of study in the field of connecting SL with happiness at work (HAW).…”

PurposeUpholding congruency with self-determination theory (SDT), the study intends to analyze the impact of spiritual leadership (SL) on happiness at work (HAW) via affective commitment (AC) and prosocial behavior (PSB) in the Indian service sector.Design/methodology/approachThe data were collected from 324 employees belonging to the service sector of north India. The study utilized AMOS and PROCESS (Hayes, 2013) to test the hypothesized model.FindingsThe findings provided considerable support for the hypothesized relationships between SL, AC, PSB and HAW. The findings advocate the positive association between SL and HAW routing through mediators such as AC and PSB.Research limitations/implicationsFuture research studies have the potential to dwell on the topic from a leader's perspective, i.e. the benefits derived through practicing spirituality. The present work in this field is focused on quantitative tools; more studies can be conducted through qualitative analysis. Future works can attempt to compare the differences amongst cultures and sectors concerning SL and its outcomes.Practical implicationsThe paper provides some relevant inputs for the Indian service sector to comprehend the criticality of SL in building long-lasting relationships amongst peers leading to creating sustainable and happy workplaces.Originality/valueThe study explores the relationship between SL and HAW which has neither been explored theoretically nor tested empirically.
