“…To accomplish this, Hammett devised the Personal Excellence Map (PEM) and developed one five-dimension instrument (Hammett, 2007). PEM is essentially an EI-based model of personal excellence demonstrable in individuals who are capable of using both their rational and emotional mindsand multiple intelligences, and who have a need for self-actualization (Tang et al, 2016).…”

Increased attention has been devoted to the issue of pursuit of personal excellence in the higher education in Taiwan in order to enhance the teaching quality and increase students' competition. While the government has devoted considerable efforts and funding to education institutions through different academic excellence plans, there has been relatively little discussion of pursuit of excellence among student population, nor have there been any curriculum or training programs designed for students to improve their personal excellence. Thus, the present study aims to fill the research gap by designing a training program for the personal excellence of undergraduate tourism students in Taiwan. Grey Relational Analysis (GRA), a multi-criteria decision analysis method, is conducted to prioritize personal excellence training needs for tourism students. The training programs are then developed with a focus on enhancing weak areas of personal excellence competence for tourism students. It is hoped that the results can give students an advantage in entering and staying in their chosen industry, leading to success in both their professional and personal lives.

“…Definitions of the five key systems and their corresponding PE skills are tabulated in Table 1. Worth noting is that a Chinese version of the short-form Personal Excellence measure for use with university students in Taiwan was translated and psychometrically tested [6]. To ensure quality of the translation, content validity of the translated version was achieved through the…”

The objective of the study is to prioritize training needs for the purpose of enhancing personal excellence (PE) competences among a group of nine junior high school principals in Taiwan. A hierarchical PE map with 16 factors clustered under four dimensions was developed as the research framework for further analysis. The utilization of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) technique for prioritizing perceived importance of PE competences aims to determine contextually specific training interventions for a target group of school leaders. A PE training course coverage is shaped with a focus on enhancing critical PE factors of emotional competence for the target group of school principals. The hierarchical structure of PE and method introduced by the present study would contribute to school leadership development, as well as a scheme for leadership selection and evaluations. Limitations and further explorations based on results of the study are discussed.

“…Nelson and Low’s model focuses on intra personal psychology to help develop oneself from inside, thereby leading to a long-lasting self-discovery of personal strength (Gardner, 2006; Sanghi, 2007). This model is also unique, as it highlights on a balanced use of both rational and emotional minds to augment interpersonal and intrapersonal functioning (Nelson and Low, 2003; Clarke, 2010; Tang et al , 2016).…”

Purpose Even though emotional intelligence (EI) is reported to have many benefits, yet it remains mainly unexplored in the construction industry. This paper aims to present a critical review of EI research in the construction industry. Design/methodology/approach Search of literature was conducted by using Scopus engine. Relevant keywords were used to discover 146 publications. The titles, abstracts, keywords and full texts of the publications were examined to finally select 48 publications that were relevant. Scientometric analysis was undertaken with the aid of VOSViewer. Content analysis systematically reviewed the key themes. Findings The five topmost countries conducting research into EI in the construction industry are UK, Australia and the USA. The most influential authors in construction EI research are Goleman, D., Salovey, P. and Mayer, J.D. The significant impact of EI on leadership in the construction industry were that EI boosted transformational leadership style and EI influenced use of management-by-exception active style by construction leaders. Furthermore, EI leads to resilience against stress and EI enhances stress tolerance were the significant roles of EI on stress management. Research limitations/implications A limitation is in the number of publications reviewed. In spite of the critical review, the number of publications reviewed may not be exhaustive. Practical implications This research enhances knowledge and stimulates a deeper comprehension of EI research and also provides recommendations for further studies based on identified research gaps. Originality/value As a pioneering study that combines scientometrics and systematic review for EI research, this study enhances knowledge on EI in the construction industry.
