“…They found emotional intelligence has a negative contribution on emotional exhaustion. Similar associations between high emotional intelligence and burnout utilising the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale and the Maslach Burnout Inventory were found among South African nurses (Nel, Jonker & Rabie, 2013), secondary school teachers (Cohen and Abedallah, 2015), and primary school teachers (Platsidou, 2010).…”

This study explores the effect of emotional intelligence (assessed by the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale) on work-related psychological health (assessed by the two scales of the Francis Burnout Inventory) among 364 Anglican clergy serving in the Church in Wales (264 clergymen, 93 clergywomen, and 7 who did not disclose their sex). After controlling for personal factors (sex and age) and for personality dimensions (extraversion, neuroticism, and psychoticism) the data suggested that higher levels of emotional intelligence enhanced workrelated psychological health both in terms of lowering negative affect (emotional exhaustion in ministry) and in terms of increasing positive affect (satisfaction in ministry). These findings suggest that there may be benefits in professional development programmes designed to develop emotional intelligence among clergy.

“…In addition, no previous study identified the correlates of EI and intent to stay among nurses working in Jordanian hospitals. Nel, Jonker, and Rabies (2013) suggest that poor EI is associated with difficulty in responding to job demands, burnout and reduced commitment. Also, Trivellas, Gerogiannis, and Svarna (2013) found that only self-emotion appraisal (SEA) and one's use of personal emotions (UOE) have a direct impact on nurses' intention to stay in their jobs.…”

Aims This study aimed to examine the relationship between Emotional intelligence (EI) and intent to stay and to identify their correlates among nurses. Background EI plays a significant role in nurses’ practice, relationships, behaviours and decisions. Methods A descriptive, cross‐sectional study was conducted with a sample of 280 registered nurses working in a public, a private and a university hospital in Jordan. A self‐administered questionnaire was used to collect data from the participants. Results EI was significantly correlated with nurses’ intent to stay (r = .427, p < .01). Some of the nurses’ socio‐demographic and work‐related characteristics were found to predict EI and intent to stay. Conclusion The findings of the study came with a supportive knowledge about the positive impacts of EI on nurses’ intent to stay. Improving both EI and intent to stay among nurses is important because it could have positive effects on organisations’ decisions, policymaking process, quality of care, employee commitment and satisfaction. Implications for Nursing Management Nurse managers should pay attention to the EI of nurses during recruitment considering various determinants of EI identified in the current study. Additionally, nurse managers might want to strengthen factors associated with more stay intent among their staff.

“…Garrosa, Moreno-Jiménez, Rodríguez-Muñoz & Rodríguez-Carvajal [36] found that personal resources, such as emotional competence, were closely related to engagement in nursing, whereas a study of nurses' perceptions about the skills they need to do their jobs successfully showed social intelligence to be a predictor of engagement [11]. Nel, Jonker & Rabie [37] suggested that people who were not emotionally intelligent would not be able to deal with the demands of their jobs and would be more likely to succumb to burnout and reduced commitment, which would end up affecting their wellbeing at work.…”

1) Background: Aware that engagement in the healthcare field needs high levels of emotional intelligence, we began this study in to the relationship between engagement and emotional intelligence in nurses. The objective of this study was to determine the explanatory value of the components of emotional intelligence for engagement in a sample of nurses, and to identify which of the emotional intelligence components have the greatest explanatory value for dimensions of engagement, by sex.; 2) Methods: The final study sample was made up of 2126 working nursing professionals with a mean age of 31.66 (SD=6.66). To compile the data, an ad hoc questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic information, and to collect professional and employment information, the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, and the Reduced Emotional Intelligence Inventory for Adults.; 3) Results: The results show that nurses with higher levels of emotional intelligence also scored more highly in engagement, with the Interpersonal factor being the greatest predictor of engagement.; and 4) Conclusions: This study have significant practical implications for the creation of intervention programs and activities to improve the performance of nurses in the workplace.
