Background Emotional Intelligence (EI) is an important skill for midwives. Our study aimed to understand EI as a Predictor of Job Satisfaction among Midwives. Methods This descriptive-correlational study was conducted on 143 employed midwives in maternity wards of government and private hospitals, as well as healthcare centers in Iran. The data were collected using demographic-fertility Characteristics, emotional intelligence, and job satisfaction questionnaires. For the assessment of EI, the Bar-On's Emotional Intelligence questionnaire was used which consists of 90 items. For the assessment of job satisfaction, Herzberg's Job Satisfaction Questionnaire was used which consists of 72 items. The significance level of the tests was considered to be P<0.05. Results The results of the study showed that the average EI and job satisfaction of midwives were moderate (316.57±33.64 and 278.58±25.95 respectively). According to Pearson correlation coefficients, there was a significant positive correlation between total job satisfaction and total EI scores (r=0.356, p<0.001). According to the results of multiple linear regression analysis after adjusting for other variables, job satisfaction of midwives had a significant positive association with total EI and friendly relationship with supervisors (β=0.258, p=0.022 and β=0.267, p=0.046 respectively). Conclusion This study showed that high emotional intelligence enhances midwives' job satisfaction. So midwifery managers should create conditions that help enhance the Emotional Intelligence and satisfaction of midwives.

“…In terms of the relationship between CI and emotional well-being, Le et al (2020) found that the metacognitive dimension of CI is positively and statistically significantly related to subjective well-being. Furthermore, the job satisfaction dimension of emotional well-being has been found to be positively related to CI (Bal & Kökalan, 2022; Licki & van der Walt, 2021). The relationship established between CI and psychological well-being confirms the findings of Chen (2015) and Ayoob et al (2015) that CI influences psychological well-being, despite the differences in context and samples between those studies and the current study.…”

There is increased interest in the field of cultural intelligence (CI) internationally, owing to globalization. CI seems to be a particularly important field in a country such as South Africa, which is regarded as one of the most diverse societies in the world. In this article, the relationship between CI, flourishing at work, and thriving at work is analyzed in the context of South African organizations. The purpose of the article is to establish whether CI positively influences flourishing and thriving at work. A survey study was conducted, which was quantitative. The quantitative data was collected by means of a structured questionnaire, which was distributed to a final sample of 366 individuals working at South African organizations. The findings show that CI promotes flourishing at work, and they show that flourishing at work and thriving at work are related. They also indicate that emotional well-being and social well-being mediate the influence of CI on thriving at work, such that the indirect effects are positive and significant. The findings of the study indicate that CI is important in advancing mental health in the workplace. They also point to the importance of CI in a diverse country to promote flourishing and thriving at work. CI is thus important not only when leaders are on international assignments, but also in diverse settings. Through promotion of positive outcomes such as flourishing and thriving at work, organizations functioning in diverse settings are likely to become more effective and competitive.

“…In addition, managers deploy EQ in interpersonal interactions to foster a work climate where employees are happy and engaged (Udod et al, 2020). Given the difficulties of running a business and managing people, it should be clear how crucial it is for a leader to possess this quality (Bal & Kökalan, 2022). Influential leaders have a more significant amount of EQ to create a favorable work environment, build strong working associations, and inspire their team members (Zaman et al, 2021).…”

The aim of this study is to measure the effect of leadership on job performance through the mediating role of emotional intelligence. Primary data were collected from 530 Pakistani private hospital employees. Structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. SMART PLS 4.0 software was used to draw the results from the data. Statistical techniques like, bootstrapping through process were used to explore the results and to test the hypotheses from the collected data. The results of this study revealed that leadership has a positive impact on job performance of employees in private hospitals of Pakistan. Further, bootstrapping analysis revealed that emotional intelligence mediates the positive effect of leadership on job performance in health sector. The study highlights that leadership is not only effective or applicable in western countries only, but it is also very effective in Pakistan. The most prominent limitation of this study is that the data were gathered from a single source. This may occur common method variance. Cross-sectional approach is also one of the limitations of this study. In health sector, leadership can enhance the job performance of the employees through the mediating role of emotional intelligence. Proper and meaningful training should be given to organizational leaders in hospitals with specific focus on leadership skills in improving emotional intelligence and job performance. The research studies on measuring the role of leadership on job performance through the mediating role of emotional intelligence are very limited. Little investigations are available on the leadership and its role in health sector especially in Pakistan. This study clarifies the role of leadership in enhancing job performance of the health care employees through the existence of the emotional intelligence. No study tested this model with three theories. This study makes a theoretical contribution by integrating three relevant theories; Campbell's theory of job performance, Goleman's mixed model theory, leadership theory.
