EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Goleman (1995) has defined emotional intelligence as: ‘The capacity for recognizing
our own feelings and that of others, for motivating ourselves, for managing emotions
well in ourselves as well as others.’ The four components of emotional intelligence
are:

  1. Self-management – the ability to control or redirect disruptive impulses and moods and regulate your own behaviour coupled with a propensity to pursue goals with energy and persistence. The six competencies associated with this component are self-control, trustworthiness and integrity, initiative, adaptability– comfort with ambiguity, openness to change and strong desire to achieve.
  2. Self-awareness – the ability to recognize and understand your moods, emotions and drives as well as their effect on others. This is linked to three competencies:self-confidence, realistic self-assessment and emotional self-awareness.
  3. Social awareness – the ability to understand the emotional makeup of other people and skill in treating people according to their emotional reactions. This is linked to six competencies: empathy, expertise in building and retaining talent, organizational awareness, cross-cultural sensitivity, valuing diversity and service to clients and customers.
  4. Social skills – proficiency in managing relationships and building networks to get the desired result from others and reach personal goals, and the ability to find common ground and build rapport. The five competencies associated with this component are: leadership, effectiveness in leading change, conflict management, influence/communication, and expertise in building and leading teams.
According to Goleman it is not enough to have a high IQ (intelligence quotient); emotional intelligence is also required.In 1998 Goleman defined emotional intelligence in a way that encompasses manyof the areas covered by typical competency frameworks. Miller et al (2001) found that processes
one-third of employers covered by their survey had consciously included emotional intelligence-type factors such as interpersonal skills in their frameworks. Dulewicz and Higgs (1999) have produced a detailed analysis of how the emotional intelligence elements of self-awareness, emotional management, empathy,relationships, communication and personal style correspond to competencies such as sensitivity, flexibility, adaptability, resilience, impact, listening, leadership, persuasiveness, motivating others, energy, decisiveness and achievement motivation. They conclude that there are distinct associations between competency modes and
elements of emotional intelligence.As noted by Miller  et al (2001), a quarter of the employers they surveyed haveprovided or funded training that is based on emotional intelligence. The most common areas are in leadership skills, people management skills and team working..

Student Guide To Psychology

  STUDENT GUIDE TO PSYCHOLOGY Introduction P sychology, that “nasty little subject,” as William James called it, embraces the full range of actions and events which appear to depend, at least in part, on perceptions, thoughts, feelings, motives, and desires. These very processes, however, also seem to depend, at least in part, on internal biological states as well as external social influences. To complicate matters even further, influences can be “social” only insofar as they are perceived or thought of as such, and can only be “influences” to the extent that they converge on motives, feelings, and desires. These considerations, in turn, reflect or are in some way conditioned by larger cultural and historical influences. In all, then, what James ironically described as a “nasty little subject” is in fact a complex and overarching set of problems and perspectives arising from the abiding project of self-knowledge. That project, of course, is not owned by any discipline or soci...

Personality Psychology

The study of personality requires an unusual feat of mental vision. Those of us who work in this field must focus narrowly on one or more specialized research topics, while simultaneously maintaining a wide-angle view of personality in a broader sense. The day-to-day demands of doing research can make it hard to preserve the broader focus, especially when immediate research projects are progressing well. The aim of this Handbook is to assist researchers, practitioners and students to regard the larger picture of personality research. Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in personality, directed along lines of research that sometimes converge and sometimes seemto diverge. Ourmotivation in compiling this Handbook was to provide a general overview of the many areas of study that together define this branch of psychological science – that many of us consider to be becoming increasingly relevant and important in psychology more generally. The contributors to this Handbook rose...
