The organizational environment has an ever-increasing need for psychological constructs such as Emotional Intelligence (EI), Social Skills (SS) and Intelligence (G), despite the lack of empirical scientific research on those variables with regard to the working environment, specially EI and SS. Thus, the goal of the present study was to measure such variables presented by professionals in different areas and leadership roles in the organizational context. There were 120 participants, from four major areas in the organization, both leaders and non-leaders. The main results showed no significant difference in EI between the different areas, lower EI scores for leaders when compared to those being led and no difference in G and in SS general score between leaders and non-leaders. This contributes to reflections on the conduction of current selection processes and promotion criteria in organizations.
A Inteligência Emocional (IE) é um construto psicológico amplamente divulgado nas últimas duas décadas, principalmente fora do meio acadêmico, mas requer uma maior diversidade de pesquisas científicas que contribuam para sua solidificação. Portanto, este trabalho buscou analisar a relação de IE com Inteligência (G), idade, sexo, renda familiar, escolaridade e Habilidades Sociais (HS). Participaram 120 pessoas, entre 18 e 61 anos de idade, de ambos os sexos, que responderam aos testes de percepção e de compreensão emocional, raciocínio abstrato e verbal e habilidades sociais. Os resultados encontrados indicaram correlação significativa positiva entre IE, G e escolaridade, negativa entre IE e idade, nenhuma correlação entre IE, HS e renda familiar e nenhuma diferença entre homens e mulheres para IE, sendo o raciocínio abstrato a variável mais preditora do construto. Tais informações auxiliam para uma melhor compreensão da IE e da sua relevância atual.
