“…Even though the main effect reached significance, this main effect needs to be interpreted in relation to the found gender by country interaction. Specifically, we found that in Egypt, there were no significant gender differences in CI, even though CI was associated with emotional intelligence (Nikoopour & Esfandiari, 2017) which is higher in females (e.g., Furnham, 2006). In Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, women scored significantly higher than men on CI, possibly due to some of the cultural differences (see Valentine, 2015) earlier explored.…”

Cultural Intelligence (CI) refers to the motivation and ability to understand and deal with cultural differences. As such, it is assumed to play a role in the effectiveness of social contact and communication between people from different cultures. Given its relevance to international relations, it is imperative to test which individual and group factors are associated with CI. Therefore, in the present study we examine cross-cultural and gender differences in CI. In one of their classes at their university, students ( N = 829) from Egypt and Saudi Arabia completed a multidimensional measure of CI. The results showed an interesting pattern of interactions between country and gender, which indicated that Egyptian men did not significantly differ from co-national women, but Saudi men scored significantly lower than women. We suggest that the different patterns of results in the two countries may partly arise from different levels of exposure to different cultures and partly from subtle differences in the constitution of the samples. Knowledge of individual and group differences in cultural intelligence may potentially contribute to explaining differential levels of success in individuals or countries in dealing with cultural differences.

“…Studies showed differences between genders in both types of EI measures: ability and trait. Nikoopour and Esfandiari (2017) found a significant difference in the trait EI of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in Iran, but there was no significant difference in their spiritual, cultural, and social intelligence. Spanish adults showed that the total ability EI score as well as scores on the four EI branches were affected by gender, where ability EI was higher in females than males (Cabello, Sorrel, Fernández-Pinto, Extremera, & Fernández-Berrocal, 2016).…”

The intelligence of success, emotional intelligence, is said to be different in males and females. The present study was attempted to determine whether students from different genders are different in emotional intelligence and its related components in Iran. The Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory was distributed among 455 undergraduate university students majoring in English. These English majors were selected through availability sampling from Allameh Tabatabaee University, Khatam University, and Shahid Rajaee Teacher Training University in Tehran. They completed the inventory in 30 to 45 min and a MANOVA was run on the results of the questionnaire. Results showed that there was no significant difference between the genders on their total score measuring emotional intelligence, but the genders did tend to differ in emotional self-awareness, interpersonal relationship, self-regard, and empathy with females scoring higher than males. Self-regard, a component where males usually score higher, has yielded different results in this study which can open new avenues of research.

“…Social intelligence refers to the accurate perception of a social environment and plays a crucial role in interpersonal understanding (Aydin, Koc & Kaya 2017). Scholars present social intelligence psychometrics as a factor that improves the ability to understand social circumstances and affects an individual's management of interpersonal relations and social interactions (Nikoopour & Esfandiari 2017). Yahyazadeh-Jelodar and Lotfi-Goodarzi (2012) on organizational debates consider social intelligence as the ability to understand, control, and express social aspects of organizational life that are effective in organizational learning and establishing efficient relations in organizations.…”

This study aimed to measure the effect of social intelligence on organizational citizenship behavior and entrepreneurial behaviors among staff members in a sport organization in Iran, with the effect on social capital as a mediating variable. The method of this study was survey, and 205 staff members were selected using stratified random sampling. The instrument in this study included four standard questionnaires measuring social intelligence (Silvera, Martinussen & Dahl, 2001), social capital (Nahapiet & Ghoshal, 1998), OCB (Organ, 1988), and EB (Mirsafian & Salimi, 2016). The data was analyzed by employing SPSS and AMOS Graphics software. The results indicated that the staff’s social intelligence had a direct effect on improving the social capital of the organization (β = 0.63). Also, social capital had a direct effect on increasing the staff’s OCB (β = 0.20) and EB (β = 0.25). Furthermore, the staff’s social intelligence had an indirect effect on increasing the social capital and improved their OCB (β = 0.51) and EB (β = 0.44). Hence, trying to increase the staff’s social intelligence in sport organizations in Iran led to improving the staff’s extra role behaviors as well as entrepreneurial behaviors at the organization, in addition to the effect of increasing the social capital in those organizations.
