“…For example, Military should have higher Selfcontrol scores as it is important in this line of work to able to regulate external pressures and stress. Actually, in a similar line of work, Dugger et al (2022) found that Pilots did not score lower than the US general population on the Self-control factor of trait EI. What is more, the trait EI profiles in certain professions may indirectly affect other individuals.…”

Trait emotional intelligence concerns people’s perceptions of their emotional world. Our aims for this study are to examine (a) the trait emotional intelligence (EI) profiles across different professions in Kuwait; (b) the incremental validity of trait EI in predicting job performance; and (c) the relationship between trait EI, job attitudes, and job performance. The sample comprised 314 professionals in Kuwait in seven different professions: Bankers, Engineers, Healthcare providers, Lawyers, Military, Policemen, and Teachers. Firstly, the results showed that the Military scored the lowest global trait emotional intelligence and three of four factors. Secondly, the results showed that global trait EI incrementally predicted job performance over job attitudes in Policemen and Engineers but not in other professions. Lastly, the results showed that job attitudes partially mediated the relationship between trait EI and job performance. These findings call for the importance of trait emotional intelligence trainings for professionals in Kuwait as it affects important job-related variables. The limitations of this study and the directions for future studies have been discussed.

PurposeThis article aims to analyse the trait emotional intelligence (TEI) of business students of various programmes. This study aims to answer the question, to what extent these future leaders are uniformly equipped with essential emotional intelligence competences, necessary in the VUCA world.Design/methodology/approachThe Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue) was used to measure TEI of 120 business students. Spearman's and Tau–Kendall's rank correlation coefficients show the strength of the correlation between age and TEI level. The non-parametric Mann–Whitney U test was employed to evaluate the consistency of TEI-level distributions in selected subgroups of respondents.FindingsFuture business leaders and management specialists are unequally prepared to manage teams and organizational change effectively. Their TEI distribution is significantly different regarding the type of programme of study. Students of “social fields” (Management, Communication and Psychology in Business) show higher TEI than students of “analytical fields” (Economics, Finance and Accounting, Logistics). Master's students are characterized by higher TEI compared to undergraduates. However, there were no statistically significant differences in TEI between: full-time and part-time, female and male, as well as working and non-working students.Practical implicationsThe results provide valuable guidance for organizations recruiting junior managers and for business universities.Originality/valueThis research was based on a well-established concept of emotional intelligence using a reliable research tool. The obtained results complement the existing research on TEI of various professional groups and provide a precious reference point for future, more in-depth analyses of TEI.

“…Historically, key components of a pilot skillset have included characteristics such as mental toughness and stress management. A study examining emotional intelligence (EI) in professional pilots indicated that pilots feel less emotional connectivity compared to the U.S. population (Dugger, et al, 2022). While flying, professional pilots are required to manage emotions, assess risk, make informed decisions, and operate in a stressful environment and may function well with lower levels of global trait EI than their non-pilot counterparts (Dugger, et al, 2022).…”

While flying, professional pilots are required to manage emotions, assess risk, make informed decisions, and operate in a stressful environment and may function well with lower levels of global trait EI than their non-pilot counterparts (Dugger, et al, 2022). Notably, pilots scored lower in three areas of the global trait EI: 1) emotionality, 2) sociability, and 3) well-being.…”

Students in flight training programs experience high levels of stress and anxiety that can significantly impede their performance on practical exams. The restrictive nature of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations and perceived negative consequences of seeking mental health treatment further exacerbates these challenges. This study examined the efficacy of performance-based acceptance and commitment training (ACT) in enhancing psychological flexibility, resilience, and mental well-being as well as improving FAA practical examination outcomes among collegiate flight training students. A randomized controlled trial was used to compare outcomes between students receiving a six-week ACT intervention (n=23) and a control group (n=27). Results indicate significant improvements among intervention participants in anxiety sensitivity (g = .43) and psychological flexibility (g = .58) compared to those in the control group. However, no significant differences in examination pass rates or time to completion were found between groups. Potential explanations for the intervention’s lack of effect on practical exam performance are discussed and suggestions are given to improve future performance-based interventions in this unique context.
