Abstract

Purpose: This article presents the results of a training program in emotional intelligence.Design/methodology/approach: Emotional Intelligence (EI) involves two important competencies: (1) the ability to recognize feelings and emotions in oneself and others, and (2) the ability to use that information to resolve conflicts and problems to improve interactions with others.We provided a 30-hour Training Course on Emotional Intelligence (TCEI) for 54 senior managers of a private company.A pretest-posttest design with a control group was adopted.Findings: EI assessed using mixed and ability-based measures can be improved after training.Originality/value: The study's results revealed that EI can be improved within business environments.Results and implications of including EI training in professional development plans for private organizations are discussed. Defining EIVarious models of emotional intelligence (EI) have been proposed.The existing scientific literature offers three main models of EI: mixed, ability, and trait models.First, mixed models conceptualize EI as a combination of emotional skills and personality dimensions such as

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
