Question 1

purposes

Answer 1

1. compare how different methods of measuring and conceptualizing emotional intelligence predict job performance
2. to extend prior studies by testing whether EI accounts for unique variance in predicting job performance beyond the five factor model (FFM) and cognitive ability
3. investigate whether EI measures incrementally predict job performance when measures of personality and cognitive intelligence are also included as predictors, which have been shown to be excellent predictors

Question 2

method

Answer 2

citation relevant to the relation among EI, FFM, cognitive ability and job performance

Question 3

hypotheses

Answer 3

1a: all three EI streams are significantly and positively correlated with job performance
1b: each EI stream is positively correlated with job performance
2: EI is positively related to extraversion, openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and cognitive ability and negatively related to neuroticism
3a: ability-based measures of EI are more strongly related to cognitive ability relative to stream 2 and stream 3 measures
3b: stream 1 measures show lowest relationship with personality measures, stream 2 next, stream 3 highest
4: each EI stream exhibits incremental validity and relative importance in predicting job performance

Question 4

validity

Answer 4

1. predictive validity of EI in terms of job performance and beyond FFM and cognitive ability
2. overall validity of emotional intelligence
3. publication bias had negligible influence on observed effect sizes

Question 5

three streams of emotional intelligence research

Answer 5

1. four-branch abilities test based on model of emotional intelligence
2. self-report instruments based on model
3. commercially available test that go beyond the model’s definition
