“…People who are confident about their emotional abilities may be aware of a necessity to bal- ance affective experiences and may also implement effective strategies to regulate their mood (cf. Szczygieł & Mikolajczak, 2017). Individuals with high emotional intelligence may also develop a high social competence (Szczygieł & Weber, 2017), which could help them maintain a beneficial balance of relationships with others (Lee, Watson, & Dams-O'Connor, 2017).…”

“…In these studies, both trait emotional intelligence and ability emotional intelligence appeared to promote positive affect and decrease negative affect, which could be also visible through a higher positive ratio. According to Szczygieł and Mikolajczak (2017), emotional strategies of savouring and dampening might be utilised to keep the balance of positive to negative affect high and constant (cf. also Peña-Sarrionandia, Mikolajczak, & Gross, 2015).…”

“…Estos aspectos de la inteligencia emocional son sustanciales para consolidar la autoconfianza, la cual es un factor relacionado positivamente con el bienestar y la felicidad (Szczygieł & Mikolajczak, 2017), que a su vez contribuyen a que los individuos lleven una vida personal y social más placentera. Asimismo, el AE y la ARE ayudan a: reducir la ansiedad, superar situaciones estresantes, mejorar las relaciones interpersonales, tolerar las frustraciones y desarrollar habilidades para resolver los problemas que surgen en el contexto personal, familiar, social y laboral (Díaz, Muela, García & Espinosa, 2011).…”

Objetivo: Se presentan los resultados de una investigación correlacional que estableció la relación entre autoconocimiento y autorregulación emocional en universitarios colombianos. Método: La muestra estuvo compuesta por 356 sujetos entre 15 y 22 años, que cursaban carreras profesionales en tres universidades de Cartagena de Indias (Colombia). La información fue recolectada a través de la escala CARE, con una consistencia interna de 0.722 para autoconocimiento y 0.750 para autorregulación. Resultados: Los hallazgos revelan una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre los niveles de autoconocimiento emocional y los de autorregulación emocional de los participantes, encontrándose que a mayor percepción e identificación de las emociones, mayor es la probabilidad de desarrollar tolerancia ala frustración. De igual manera, se halló que la capacidad de hablar abiertamente de las emociones y de reconocer señales emocionales internas aumenta la probabilidad de regular los impulsos emocionales, de generar estrategias de afrontamiento y de desarrollar tolerancia a la frustración. Conclusión: La comunicación y el reconocimiento de las emociones son aspectos determinantes para que estos jóvenes puedan regular sus emociones y enfrentar o manejar adecuadamente los problemas cotidianos.

“…Within the specific context of workplaces, there has been a growing trend to research positive constructs such as hope, happiness, psychological and organisational resilience, work engagement, and appreciative inquiry (Mills et al, 2013). Research has linked these constructs to outcomes such as job performance, organisational citizenship behaviours, and happiness (Szczygieła and Mikolajczakb, 2017). As Quoidbach et al (2015, p. 655) argue:…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to highlight the role of positive emotions in generating workplace impacts and examine it through the application of an adapted appreciative inquiry process in the context of a work-based project aimed at promoting integrated working under challenging organisational circumstances. Design/methodology/approach The paper adopts a case study methodology which highlights how an organisation facing difficult circumstances (such as austerity measures, siloed cultures, constant threats of reorganisation, and requirement to work across occupational boundaries) adapted an appreciative inquiry intervention/method. Findings This paper found, first, that the utilisation of appreciative inquiry in the context of an adapted work-based project in difficult organisational circumstances generated positive emotions manifest through a compelling vision and action plans, second, that the impacts (such as a vision) can become entangled and therefore part of the wider ecological context which promotes pathways to such impact, but that, third, there are a various cultural and climate features which may limit the implementation of actions or the continuation of psychological states beyond the time-bound nature of the work-based project. Practical implications The paper illustrates how an organisation adapted a form of appreciative inquiry to facilitate organisational change and generated outcomes which were meaningful to the various occupational groupings involved. Originality/value This paper offers new evidence and insight into the adaptation of appreciative inquiry under challenging circumstances in the context of a work-based learning project. It also provides a richer picture of how positive emotion can manifest in ways which are meaningful to a localised context.
