“…Meanwhile, Yusof, Ishak, Zahidi, Abidin and Baker (2014) agreed that the relationship between emotional intelligence and personality characteristics was indeed significant, but generally there is no correlation between emotional intelligence and general intelligence, as discovered by Amelang and Steinmayr (2006). Bahadori (2012) and Zhou, Estrada and Bojica (2014) found that all dimensions of emotional intelligence are relevant and positively related to entrepreneurial behaviour, while Zhou et al (2014) suggested that appraisal and expression of emotion are not significantly associated with most success criteria.…”

“…Walter, Humphrey and Cole (2012) pointed out that there is little consensus on the true meaning of emotional intelligence, resulting from the complexity of the construct and no generalised view on its applicability or its existence. Moreover, emotional intelligence has been criticised to measure nothing more than just intelligence and personality (Amelang & Steinmayr, 2006). …”

Orientation: To examine the effects of emotional intelligence on the development of entrepreneurial intentions of university students.Research purpose: To determine whether emotional intelligence is a crucial antecedent of entrepreneurial intention to encourage entrepreneurial behaviour.Motivation of the study: By identifying all the factors that encourage entrepreneurial behaviour, policymakers and concerned stakeholders are better equipped to improve such behaviour and guarantee its success, thereby alleviating unemployment more effectively.Research design, approach and method: A positivist paradigm was used and a quantitative design used self-administered questionnaires to assess the respondents’ emotional intelligence and their intentions to start businesses. Multiple regressions and correlations were computed to test the hypotheses.Main findings: The findings revealed that there is a direct association between emotional intelligence and entrepreneurial intention, with the strongest association recorded between regulation of emotion and entrepreneurial intention and the least significant association between use of emotion and entrepreneurial intention.Practical implications: Although entrepreneurship education is important, it needs to be restructured to incorporate the practical aspects. Furthermore, educators should create a learning environment that could encourage the effective expression and use of emotions to nurture emotional intelligence.Contribution: This article is of particular value to policymakers and educators looking for ways to improve entrepreneurial effectiveness and implementation as well as scholars contemplating entrepreneurship as a career option.

“…Although EI was touted as a very promising construct for personnel selection, some researchers reported difficulty finding any predictive value in it beyond what was accounted for by general intelligence and conscientiousness (Amelang and Steinmayr 2006). Others found evidence that it moderated the relationship between conscientiousness and work performance such that conscientiousness positively predicts work performance if EI is also high, and negatively predicts performance otherwise (Douglas, Frink, and Ferris 2004).…”

This study investigated the roles of four psychosocial variables -anxiety, conscientiousness, emotional intelligence, and Protestant work ethic -on subjective ratings of cognitive workload as measured by the Task Load Index (TLX) and the further connections between the four variables and TLX ratings of task performance. The four variables represented aspects of an underlying construct of elasticity versus rigidity in response to workload. Participants were 141 undergraduates who performed a vigilance task under different speeded conditions while working on a jigsaw puzzle for 90 minutes. Regression analysis showed that anxiety and emotional intelligence were the two variables most proximally related to TLX ratings. TLX ratings contributed to the prediction of performance on the puzzle, but not the vigilance task. Severity error bias was evident in some of the ratings. Although working in pairs improved performance, it also resulted in higher ratings of temporal demand and perceived performance pressure.

“…Interesting results have been obtained when conscientiousness is included together with variables of ability; in their study of social status (income and professional status), Amelang & Steinmayr (2006) found that general intelligence and conscientiousness had approximately the same significant influence on the two performance criteria, while the meta-analytical structural equation modeling performed by Ng & Feldman ( 2010) showed that an individual's cognitive ability and conscientiousness mediate the effects of both education and organizational tenure on in-role and extra-role job performances.…”
