The Influence of Ability-Based Emotional Intelligence on Job Performance: A Case of Construction Companies
It is suggested in the existing studies that individuals who are higher in emotional intelligence are likely to exhibit a higher level of performance. This paper studies the influence of ability-based emotional intelligence which is described as four branches of emotion-related abilities (self emotional appraisal, other’s emotional appraisal, use of emotion and regulation of emotion) on job performance, task performance and contextual performance. We collected data from construction companies by pairing employees and their direct managers in Changsha, Guangzhou, and so on. The results show that ability-based emotional intelligence positively and significantly correlates with job performance, task performance and contextual performance respectively. In addition, three dimensions of ability-based emotional intelligence (self emotional appraisal, regulation of emotion and use of emotion) have positive and significant correlations with job performance, task performance and contextual performance respectively. Other’s emotional appraisal has a positive and significant relationship with job performance and contextual performance, but has no significant correlation with task performance.
