Emotional intelligence: A meta-analytic investigation of predictive validity and Nomo logical net,

Abstract This study used meta-analytic techniques to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and performance outcomes. A total of 69 independent studies were located that reported correlations between EI and performance or other variables such as general mental ability (GMA) and the Big Five factors of personality. Results indicated that, across criteria, EI had an operational validity of .23 (k ¼ 59, N ¼ 9522). Various moderating influences such as the EI measure used, dimensions of EI, scoring method and criterion were evaluated. EI correlated .22 with general mental ability (k ¼ 19, N ¼ 4158) and .23 (Agreeableness and Openness to Experience; k ¼ 14, N ¼ 3306) to .34 (Extraversion; k ¼ 19, N ¼ 3718) with the Big Five factors of personality. Results of various subgroup analyses are presented and implications and future directions are provided

Effects of Personality on Social Network Disclosure: Do Emotionally Intelligent Individuals Post Inappropriate Content?

The prevalence of individuals using social networking sites to stay connected has increased considerably in only a few years and the information posted is now being used by organizations for employee selection. The purpose of the current study was to investigating how differences on the Big Five Personality traits, honesty-integrity, and emotional intelligence influence whether individuals post inappropriate social network content. Participants were 506 college students from a large metropolitan state university in the Southeastern United States. Results suggest individuals scoring high on emotional intelligence and honesty/integrity disclosed less inappropriate social network content. Emotional intelligence was not, however, predictive of inappropriate disclosure above and beyond the Big Five Personality traits. Honest and emotionally intelligent individuals seem to understand the negative implications of disclosing inappropriate social network content. Future research should examine how social network information is being used in employee selection and the predictive validity of this method

Meta-analytic SEM: a model comparison with/without corrections for study artifacts

This paper compares substantive conclusions of structural equation models based on meta-analytically derived correlation matrices with and without corrections for study artifacts. All models examined exhibited extremely similar model fit and pathway stability, with the primary difference being greater variance explained in endogenous variables when based on corrected correlations

An investigation of group differences in dispositional proactivity

This study offers a preliminary investigation of gender, age, and ethnicity-based group differences in dispositional proactivity. Results from our sample of respondents (N = 331) suggest that there are minimal gender (d = -.09), age (d = .16), and ethnicity-based group differences in dispositional proactivity. Implications are discussed
