“…Few studies have tested mediation hypotheses formally. Chan (2005) used structural equation modelling in a sample of 624 gifted Hong Kong students to show that adaptive social coping strategies mediated effects of EI on mental health. Mikolajczak et al (2007) reported that associations between trait EI and occupational stress were mediated by strategies for coping with emotional labour.…”

This paper reviews the claimed pivotal role of emotional intelligence (EI) in well-being and health. Specifically, we examine the utility of EI in predicting health and well-being and point to future research issues that the field might profitably explore. EI is predictive of various indicators of well-being, as well as both physical and psychological health, but existing research has methodological limitations including over-reliance on self-report measures, and neglect of overlap between EI and personality measures. Interventions focusing on emotional perception, understanding and expression, and emotion regulation, seem potentially important for improving health and well-being, but research on EI has not yet made a major contribution to therapeutic practice. Future research, using a finer-grained approach to measurement of both predictors and criteria might most usefully focus on intra- and inter-personal processes that may mediate effects of EI on health.

“…Nevertheless, in adolescents, evidence suggests that lower TEI can be linked to poorer adjustment through increased use of avoidant and emotional coping styles (but not decreased use of problemfocussed styles) -when 'adjustment' is indexed via general psychological distress (Chan, 2005), engagement in self-harming behaviours , and self-reported externalising and internalising symptoms (Downey, Johnston, Hansen, Birney, & Stough, 2010). Studies exploring the interactive effects of EI and coping on mental health are markedly absent (investigations of predictive utility are the norm), though in an adult, occupational context, it would appear AEI does not modify either 'surface-acting' or 'deepacting' coping to impact emotional exhaustion (Peng, Wong, & Che, 2010).…”

Theoretically, trait and ability emotional intelligence (EI) should mobilise coping processes to promote adaptation, plausibly operating as personal resources determining choice and/or implementation of coping style. However, there is a dearth of research deconstructing if/how EI impacts mental health via multiple coping strategies in adolescence. Using path analysis, the current study specified a series of multiple-mediation and conditional effects models to systematically explore interrelations between coping, EI, depression and disruptive behaviour in 748 adolescents (mean age = 13.52 years; SD = 1.22).Results indicated that whilst ability EI influences mental health via flexible selection of coping strategies, trait EI modifies coping effectiveness; specifically, high levels of trait EI amplify the beneficial effects of active coping and minimise the effects of avoidant coping to reduce symptomotology. However, effects were selective with respect to coping style and outcome. Implications for interventions are discussed alongside directions for future research.

“…Social networks of the individuals are growing sources of interest for organizations because these networks give rise to, for example, the unconditional support for an organizational change or the urge to resist and fight it (Kilduff and Brass, 2010). Thus, it is important to identify the kinds of relationships between individuals and their social environments at each stage of change because they are antecedents of their reactions to change (Chan, 2006;Chuang, 2007; Montes- Berges and Augusto, 2007). Social environments can drastically influence individuals and can determine their behaviour toward change.…”

“…Coping strategies not only depend on individuals and their perceptions but also on their relationships with their social environments, such as friends and family (Chan, 2006). More specifically, the social environment is defined as the five external agents with which individuals can relate in their daily lives: family (including partners), friends, co-workers, direct supervisors and the organization.…”

Purpose: This work's purpose was to define a model that both describes the evolution of the emotional stages of individuals during perceived negative organizational change and explains the evolution of their behavioural patterns and the effects on relationships with social environments (family, friends, co-workers, supervisor and organization).Design/Methodology/Approach: A qualitative methodological research design was adopted, using individual interviews as the primary method of qualitative data collection. Fifteen people who experienced perceived negative organizational changes participated. Relationships with supervisors deteriorate during denial and anger and depression but remain stable during bargaining.Research limitations: Time's passage became an inconvenience accounted for during data collection. Over time, separate events can be confused, and nuances that were once determinants THE SIX EMOTIONAL STAGES OF ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE 3 can be eliminated. Longitudinal studies at various stages of the change process would complement these results. Practical implications:These results can guide managers in foreseeing and anticipating actions that would reduce the emotional impact of organizational change and mitigate the impact of individuals' negative emotions on the organization.Originality: This paper extends existing theory about the strategies of coping and organizational changes.
