“…Therefore, higher scores in emotional intelligence indicate that those nursing professionals are able to minimize the intensity and presence of negative emotions, which consequently, have a positive repercussion on management of stressful situations and protect against burnout. Along this line, the role of emotional intelligence as a moderator in the relationship between negative emotions and burnout is proposed [26]. Meta-analyses have also previously corroborated the relationships between emotional intelligence based on capacity and job performance [27].…”

Background: Nursing professionals face a variety of stressful situations daily, where the patients’ own stresses and the demands of their family members are the most important sources of such stress. Methods: The main objectives pursued were to describe the relationships of self-efficacy and emotional intelligence with perceived stress in a sample of nursing professionals. We also developed predictive models for each of the components of perceived stress based on the dimensions of emotional intelligence and self-efficacy, for the total sample, as well as samples differentiated by sex. This study sample consisted of 1777 nurses and was conducted using multiple scales: the perceived stress questionnaire, general self-efficacy scale, and the brief emotional intelligence survey for senior citizens. Results: The variables stress management, mood, adaptability, intrapersonal skills, and self-efficacy explained 22.7% of the variance in the harassment–social component, while these same variables explained 28.9% of the variance in the irritability–tension–fatigue dimension. The variables mood, stress management, self-efficacy, intrapersonal, and interpersonal explained 38.6% of the variance in the energy–joy component, of which the last variable offers the most explanatory capacity. Finally, the variables stress management, mood, interpersonal, self-efficacy and intrapersonal skills explained 27.2% of the variance in the fear–anxiety dimension. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that one way to reduce stress in professionals would be to help them improve their emotional intelligence in programs (tailored to consider particularities of either sex) within the framework of nursing, enabling them to develop and acquire more effective stress coping strategies, which would alleviate distress and increase the wellbeing of health professionals.

“…Job burnout is defined as "a psychological syndrome in response to chronic interpersonal stressors on the job" (Maslach et al 2001, p. 399). Feelings of burnout within the context of one's job may arise due to a variety of reasons including increasing perceptions of an overall lack of support/access to external resources (Hakanen et al 2006;Huebner 1992;Schilling et al 2018;Williams and Gersch 2004), increasing job demands (Evers et al 2004;Hakanen et al 2006;Ilies et al 2015;Richards et al 2016;Schilling et al 2018;Williams and Gersch 2004), strained relationships with coworkers (Grayson and Alvarez 2008;Schilling et al 2018;Zhao et al 2018), reduced access to internal resources/ perceptions of an individual's ability to do one's job and to cope with difficult situations (Alessandri et al 2018;Butler and Constantine 2005;Skaalvik and Skaalvik 2007), and increased feelings of negativity (Bianchi and Schonfeld 2016;Szczygiel and Mikolajczak 2018).…”

“…Related to increasing motivation/resilience in workers as a method of addressing feelings of job burnout, many have argued that increasing feelings of self-efficacy should also be a target of such efforts. Feelings of self-efficacy in relation to the ability to successfully navigate the work team climate (Loeb et al 2016), the ability to effectively cope with work stressors (Evers et al 2004), and the ability to deal with negative emotions at work (Alessandri et al 2018;Szczygiel and Mikolajczak 2018;Zhao et al 2018) have all been found to lessen the burden of feelings of job burnout. In recognizing the importance of these personal characteristics in preventing and responding to feelings of burnout, some researchers have proposed that methods aimed at increasing feelings of resilience and self-efficacy are perhaps the most effective means of dealing with the issue of job burnout.…”

Job burnout among school psychologists represents a potentially serious issue given widespread shortages of practitioners. It is then important to identify effective strategies for both preventing and responding to feelings of burnout when they occur to ultimately ensure a healthy workforce. The current study examined written responses provided by 122 practicing school psychologists in the Southeastern United States to the question, "What do you think training programs can do about the issue of burnout in school psychology." A qualitative thematic analysis of responses resulted in the identification of three main themes: develop specific personal/professional skills, modify professional/training components, and modify administrative/ organizational policies and seven associated sub-themes. Resulting themes are discussed in reference to specific recommendations training programs can take in the future to better address job burnout in the field.

The concept of Emotional Intelligence (EI) has gained a great amount of public popularity and business attention in the past two decades. EI is currently considered a broadly recognized practitioner instrument for hiring, training, leadership development, and team building by the business people. In this context, the analysis of the evolution and development of this concept is crucial. In order to do so, this study presents the global research trends in EI area. The article presents a bibliometric analysis of 4297 journal articles on EI. These works come from the Scopus database for the period 1966-2018. The study sorts these articles according to the following bibliographic indicators: journal with most published research, highly cited articles, countries with the highest rate of productivity, prolific authors, year of publication, language, and research area. Besides, the study graphically maps the bibliographic material by using the visualization of similarities (VOS) viewer software. In order to do so, the work uses co-authorship among authors and affiliated countries, and co-occurrence of author keywords. Results have shown that since 2005, the number of publications has increased exponentially, resulting in the steady increase in the cumulative total publications until present. The United States (US) is the most productive country. Also, among the most productive university from each of the 15 leading countries, three were amongst the world’s top 100 universities. The prominent authors were Petrides, Konstantinos V. and Extremera Pacheco, Natalio. whereas the top journals were the Personality and Individual Differences, Frontiers in Psychology and Life Science Journal. A network visualisation map showed that ‘emotional intelligence’, ‘emotions’ and ‘personality’ were the most encountered key terms. Therefore, this paper serves as a platform for the new researchers to refer concerning which journals, authors and articles they may consult while establishing the future research direction.
