Research DigestChiva, R., & Alegre, J. (2008). Emotional intelligence and job satisfaction: The role of organizational learning capability. Personnel Review, 37(6), 680-701. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between EI, as measured by the SREIT, and job satisfaction. Data were collected from blue-collar employees working for ceramic tile manufacturers in Spain. Results suggest that emotionally intelligent individuals are more likely to experience high levels of job satisfaction. Results also indicate that organizational learning capability (OLC), defined as a set of stimulating factors that facilitate organizational learning (e.g., experimentation, risk taking, interaction with the external environment, dialogue and participative decision making), plays a significant role in determining the effects of EI on job satisfaction. The most important implication is that job satisfaction is affected by the correlation between individual EI and certain working conditions. CREIO AnnouncementsNew Criteria for Membership To be admitted for membership, one must have published several empirical journal articles and/or empirically-based books on the topic of emotional or social intelligence in organizations.

Conference AnnouncementSan Jacinto College Institute for EI The 6th annual Institute for Emotional Intelligence invites K-12 education, higher education, and business, government, and labor professionals to participate in a two-day forum on developing emotionally intelligent students, employees, and organizations. Established in 2004, the annual Institute for Emotional Intelligence provides opportunities for educators, researchers, practitioners, and leaders to share research and practical applications in EI for primary-secondary education, higher education, and business, government, or organizational settings. Read more Call for Papers The objectives of this special issue are to (i) generate research interest into this underrepresented line of inquiry, and (ii) to publish a collection of high-quality articles that stem from a variety of management disciplines and areas within a comprehensive volume. Articles submitted should aim to inform theory development, enhance practise where possible, and encourage future empirical work. Such articles can adopt a qualitative and/or quantitative focus. The articles will undergo a rigorous double-blind review process, using LODJ's normal review process and selection criteria. Submissions must reflect the original work of the author(s), which has not previously been published and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Authors should follow regular LODJ guidelines, which can be found on the journal's website. Article ReprintsEach month the newsletter features an article from our reprint archive. The full archive can be found under "Chapter and Article Reprints" on the Main Menu of the CREIOwebsite. Dunn, E. W., Brackett, M. A., Ashton-James, C., Schneiderman, E., & Salovey, P. (2007). On emotionally intelligent time travel: Individual differences in affective forecasting ability. Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 33, 85-93. In two studies, the authors examined whether people who are high in emotional intelligence (EI) make more accurate forecasts about their own affective responses to future events. All participants completed a performance measure of EI (the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test) as well as a self-report measure of EI. Affective forecasting ability was assessed using a longitudinal design in which participants were asked to predict how they would feel and report their actual feelings following three events in three different domains: politics and academics (Study 1) and sports (Study 2). Across these events, individual differences in forecasting ability were predicted by participants' scores on the performance measure, but not the self-report measure, of EI; high-EI individuals exhibited greater affective forecasting accuracy. Emotion Management, a subcomponent of EI, emerged as the strongest predictor of forecasting ability. CREIO MissionThe mission of the EI Consortium is to advance research and practice of emotional and social intelligence in organizations through the generation and exchange of knowledge. The EI Consortium is currently made up of 65 members from around the world who are individuals involved in applied research in the field of EI including 5 organizational members, most of whom have been part of the Consortium for many years. We would be delighted to have more organizations join us. Organizational members partner with the Consortium for the purpose of applied research related to EI in the workplace. The EI Consortium sponsors a website, which has recently been revised and updated, where researchers and practitioners can download full-text research reports and access references.
