“…Moreover, the scouts played an important role to build the students' characters. The results were in line with Conway (2009) studies which states that "extracurricular activities play an important role in enriching the learning experience, strengthening mental health' (Gilman, 2004), raising interest and self-esteem (Feldman & Matjasko, 2005), reinforcing the emotional intelligence (Chia, 2005), and strengthening self-efficacy (Tay et al, 2006).…”

“…Geraghty (2010) explains that the involvement in the extracurricular activities will be able to reinforce the learning experience, improve academic performance, develop soft skills such as rising self-confidence, expanding networks, improving public speaking skills and strengthening leadership. Extracurricular activities are proven to have significant effect on leadership skills, interpersonal skills, and motivational qualities (Cole et al, 2003); success in career (Rubin et al, 2002); mental and personal maturity development (Gilman, 2004;Feldman & Matjasko, 2005); emotional intelligence (Chia, 2005); confidence (Tay et al, 2006); and interpersonal intelligence (Mahoney et al, 2003). It is obvious that extracurricular activities have a positive impact on the development of positive attitudes.…”

“…Various studies recommended that extracurricular activities is referred to as additional activities for students (Shannon, 2006), or non-academic activities because it is not directly related to instructional activities (Chia, 2005). Some Indonesian's schools generally have similar idea in which extracurricular activities are considered as additional activities and students do not have responsibility to engage.…”

The one of extracurricular activities is scouting program can be applied for schools in Indonesia. This study scrutinized the parents' and teachers' support students involvement in scouting, and to what extent the scouting program is able to develop entrepreneurial values. This study employed a longitudinal approach, and the data were taken during four semesters. The research findings showed that parents and teachers' support simultaneously have significant effect on students' involvement in scouting program and on development of students' entrepreneurial values. Likewise, teachers' support has partial effect on students' involvement in the scouting, and partial effect of parents' support on the development of the entrepreneurial values as well. As a conclusion, both parents and teachers play essential roles to support students' involvement in scouting program and development of students' entrepreneurial values.

“…It suggests that ESCs can be developed within specific training programs to improve organisational performance and success. There is a growing body of research linking EI defined as such to success in the workplace (Bachman, Stein, Campbell, & Sitarenios, 2000;Chia, 2005;Newman & Purse, 2007;Petrides & Furnham, 2006). In particular, an evolving research literature in social and organizational psychology suggests that EI skills are important for employees' emotion-related processes and outcomes at different levels of management (Ashkanasy, Härtel, & Daus, 2002).…”

This study examined the relationship of emotional intelligence (EI) to jobs requiring emotional labour in a sample of 6,874 participants from eleven countries or geographical regions. In particular, the current study examined the relationship of a mixed model of EI, as measured by the Emotional Capital Report (ECR), to emotional labour identified in recent literature as performed by workers in three types of service occupations, customer service, social control and caring. Previous research had reported that individuals high in EI may be more likely to perform well in jobs requiring emotional labour and, as such, emotional labour was an important moderator of the EI-performance relationship. Results of this study supported the existence of a moderate relationship between a mixed model of EI and emotional labour and thus provided further support for this claim. The findings suggest that where jobs require high emotional labour, EI is likely to assist individuals to know both when to perform emotional labour and how to alter emotional behavior to meet organizational goals. Furthermore, when service occupations were examined for the type of emotional labour performed, those in customer service occupations produced significantly higher scores on 8 out of 10 ECR subscales. Taken together, the findings suggest that when considering the EI-performance link it is important to consider both the occupational context as well as the emotional intelligence of individuals. Limitations of the study and future directions are discussed, along with practical implications for both researchers and human resource personnel seeking to improve the job related performance of employees.

“…Several research studies show potential implications for hiring practices. The candidate possessing the higher EI plus excellent academic knowledge, as revealed through grades, might ensure a better hire (Iannucci, B. and Mirabella, 2013); (Ming Chia, 2005).…”

Engineers in construction and manufacturing are expected to be able to work with and lead diverse, multidisciplinary teams. Engineering students entering the workforce must be not only technically competent, but also possess skills in working with other people. These traits are frequently lacking with newly graduated engineering students due to the highly technical focus of their curriculum. The opportunity to develop Emotional Intelligence skills is limited. This research proposed that Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) undergraduate students may possess a higher level of Emotional Intelligence than Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) undergraduate students. The research also proposed that if differences were observed, that causal influences could be identified. Undergraduate engineering students at The Citadel completed The TalentSmart Emotional Intelligence Appraisal® along with demographic data and a variety of questions regarding their undergraduate experience. This research included freshman and senior students in Civil and Environmental (CEE) and Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at The Citadel. These surveys suggested that undergraduate engineering students increase their EI score as they advance from Freshman to Senior year. The surveys also suggest that Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Majors do not advance in their EI scores from Freshman to Senior year as well as Civil and Environmental (CEE) majors. A positive connection was established between work experience and the impact on higher levels of EI. A positive correlation for growth in EI score was also demonstrated for students who attended high schools with smaller graduating classes. Based on the results of this research, the paper proposes CEE and ECE faculty place increased emphasis on encouraging students to pursue summer jobs, internships, and similar extracurricular programs. Both CEE and ECE faculty should evaluate their curriculum with an eye towards inculcating learning opportunities for EI into course work. Additionally, faculty and admission officials should give at least equal consideration to admitting students who graduate from smaller schools that may offer less college prep courses that may appeal to admissions officials
