“…The WLEIS has many advantages, such as the fact that it is relatively short, including only 16 items, designed to be applied on working population, free to administer and described to be relatively independent of personality traits (Ng et al 2007;Brannick et al 2009). Current research indeed supports the cross-cultural generalizability of the WLEIS (Libbrecht et al 2014;Carvalho et al 2016;Iliceto and Fino 2017) and there is evidence that it is a predictor for job performance (Wong and Law 2002;Law et al 2008;Trivellas et al 2013;Chen et al 2015).

“…However, neglecting potentially important covariates could be very costly in regard to increased bias (Stuart 2010). In regard to this study, prior research has demonstrated the EI is influenced by gender (Carvalho et al 2016;Cabello et al 2016), cultural background (Van Rooy et al 2005;Ng et al 2007;Margavio et al 2012) and age (Cabello et al 2016). Consequently, these three characteristics will be considered as confounding covariates.…”

“…The Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) is still the only performance-based ability assessment tool (Macht et al 2019). Yet, there is also no consensus among experts in regard to the evaluation of the responses of this test (Carvalho et al 2016). The challenge is to determine objective correct responses (Roberts et al 2001).…”

“…In particular, cultural context might affect people's emotions and it is thus not certain if a measurement developed within a specific cultural setting can also applied in another cultural setting (Law et al 2008;Lee and Kwak 2012). Another drawback of the MSCEIT is the considerable amount of time to complete the 141 items and the high costs of its application (Carvalho et al 2016). Thus, measuring EI as an ability remains a big challenge (Lopes 2016).…”

Do Agile Managed Information Systems Projects Fail Due to a Lack of Emotional Intelligence?

Agile development methodologies (ADM) have become a widely implemented project management approach in Information Systems (IS). Yet, along with its growing popularity, the amount of concerns raised in regard to human related challenges caused by applying ADM are rapidly increasing. Nevertheless, the extant scholarly literature has neglected to identify the primary origins and reasons of these challenges. The purpose of this study is therefore to examine if these human related challenges are related to a lack of Emotional Intelligence (EI) by means of a quantitative approach. From a sample of 194 agile practitioners, EI was found to be significantly correlated to human related challenges in agile teams in terms of anxiety, motivation, mutual trust and communication competence. Hence, these findings offer important new knowledge for IS-scholars, project managers and human resource practitioners, about the vital role of EI for staffing and training of agile managed IS-projects.

“…This is a self-report, 16-item scale that measures the four major emotional intelligence dimensions. This scale was used as it is in line with the views of Mayer and Salovey concerning emotional intelligence (Carvalho, Guerrero, Chambel & Gonzalez-Rico, 2016). Entrepreneurial intention was measured using the considerably shorter yet validated nine-item scale proposed by Linan and Chen (2007).…”

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.

The purpose of the study was to examine the causal relationship between teachers' emotional intelligence, job satisfaction, professional identity, and work engagement. And to achieve this purpose, a questionnaire consisting of four scales was administered to 260 teachers selected from the Adentan Municipal in the Greater Accra Region. Exploratory factor analysis, structural equation modeling, and univariate statistical analyses were employed to analyze the data. Results of the analyses established that job satisfaction mediated the relationship between teachers' emotional intelligence and work engagement. The findings also revealed that emotional intelligence positively affected professional identity directly and indirectly through job satisfaction. It was further revealed that female teachers exhibited more professional identity and were more satisfied than their male counterparts. The study concluded with the recommendation that for Ghanaian teachers to be actively engaged with their job, they should be provided with the opportunity to develop and improve their emotional intelligence. It was also recommended that a module on emotional intelligence be included in the curriculum for training pre-service teachers.
