Emotional Intelligence and Performance: Need for Additional Empirical Evidence Academic Article

abstract

• This issue overview introduces the problem, purpose, significance, and need for studying emotional intelligence (EI) and performance in the workplace. The concept of EI is first defined and followed by a collage of scholarly pieces providing various perspectives on EI and performance in the workplace. Because improved performance through learning is one of the main intended outcomes of HRD, the contribution of EI and performance research to HRD theory and practice is highlighted and discussed. A preview of the nature of each piece in this collage of scholarship and how it contributes to our understanding of the link between EI and workplace performance is then offered.
