“…This research aimed to determine the mediator role of burnout in the relationship between EI and performance. In prior studies [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26], EI has been independently tested, and results demonstrated that EI predicts a better performance. However, the current work offers a new perspective in understanding the role of burnout in this relationship.…”

“…Previous research has found that performance at work is strongly affected by emotions and feelings, which are an inherent part of the human existence in any context [18]. Those workers with higher emotional intelligence tend to be more successful [19,20], more productive [21,22], and less susceptible to perform counterproductive work behaviors [23]. Moreover, subjects with higher EI have shown more engagement than their colleagues [24], less burnout [25], and a lower intention to quit [26].…”

Previous research has highlighted the connection between emotional intelligence (EI) and work performance. However, the role of job burnout in this context remains relatively unexplored. This study aimed to examine the mediator role of burnout in the relationship between EI and work performance in a multioccupational sample of 1197 Spanish professionals (58.6% women). The participants completed the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, and the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire. As expected, the results demonstrated a positive relationship between EI and performance, and a negative relationship with burnout, which has a mediator effect in the relationship between EI and work performance. Professionals with high levels of IE and low burnout reported the highest performance. Multiple mediation analyses showed that employees’ EI was indirectly connected to work performance via professional efficacy and exhaustion, even when controlling the effects of sociodemographic variables. The same pattern was found when multiple mediations were conducted for each EI dimension. These findings demonstrate the importance of burnout in understanding work performance and emphasize the role of EI as a protective variable which can prevent the development or chronic progression of workers’ burnout.

“…In the organizational context, different studies state that higher EI is related to higher scores in performance variables such as job satisfaction and team work effectiveness [ 6 , 7 , 8 ]. EI is also related to academic, professional, and career success [ 9 , 10 , 11 ]. Likewise, in the sports context, higher levels of EI are related to higher levels of physical activity [ 12 , 13 ].…”

Emotional intelligence (EI) is related to better performance in sports. To measure this construct, many tools have been developed and validated in the sports context. However, these tools are based on an individual’s ability to manage their own emotions, but do not consider the emotions of the rest of the team (teammates, coaches, etc.). In this regard, the Workgroup Emotional Intelligence Profile short version (WEIP-S) is a self-reported measure designed to measure the EI of individuals who are part of a team. The aim of this study was to validate the WEIP-S structure to measure EI in the sports context, and to analyze the psychometric properties of this tool in the sample in terms of validity and reliability. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 273 athletes to examine the reliability, factor structure, and evidence of validity (convergent, discriminant, nomological, and concurrent) of the WEIP-S. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the original four-factor structure is the most appropriate for the sports context. Composite reliability was adequate for all factors except management of one’s own emotions, which also showed poor convergent validity. Evidence of convergent, discriminant, and nomological validity are discussed. This study represents an advance in the use of specific scales to measure EI in the sports context.

“…Asimismo, según Urquijo et al (2019), cuando se habla de políticas de responsabilidad social, se especula en la correspondencia que se promueve entre la empresa, el medio ambiente y el contexto social. Exiguamente se cavila en el recurso humano, y este aspecto se ha delegado en áreas como la gestión humana.…”

Este estudio tiene por objeto analizar el concepto de responsabilidad social universitaria (RSU) emitido por un colectivo profesoral en una institución de educación superior colombiana, con la intención de optimizar sus prácticas. La muestra correspondió a 54 sujetos, seleccionados a través de muestreo por afijación óptima, y pertenecientes a diferentes programas académicos. Mediante un análisis cualitativo de redes, se logró determinar las percepciones predominantes que manifiestan los profesores en RSU. Como hallazgo representativo, los profesores asumen una conducta moralista, con un marcado adeudo consigo mismo, y un estricto sentido de pertenecía para con la sociedad. La conclusión más significativa, reside en que la participación del profesorado es vital para posibilitar mejores condiciones de vida del entorno, dado que su comportamiento determina las prácticas que las universidades deben adelantar en RSU. Así, se debe apelar a un modelo de gobernanza reticular y no a modelos de estructura vertical que prevalecen en algunas instituciones de educación superior.
