Abstract

Purpose: This study seeks to assess the levels of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and emotional competencies in a sample of workers and college students according to gender. Furthermore, the research upon which this paper is established seeks to analyze the divergence between the sexes from distinct angles of EQ and emotional competencies. Design/methodology/approach: The study uses a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine the differences among the scores of men and women for each of the samples. Self-informed instruments were administered to determine the levels of EQ and emotional competencies in a sample of one hundred and two workers who are residents in Quito, Ecuador, and three hundred and seventy-eight college students from San Francisco de Quito University. The evaluation of the Emotional Intelligence (EQ) type trait was measured through the short version of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue-SF) in Spanish, as developed by Pérez (2003).Findings: First, the study performed a detailed analysis of the variables for the worker's sample, which shows that the highest score belongs to the total Measurement of Affective Regulation Styles (MARS) scale. In connection with the different facets of TEIQue, the highest is emotionality (43,245), while the lower score is related to adaptability (11,362). When analyzing workers’ samples, the results show there is no compelling discrepancy between sexes in terms of emotional competencies and EQ. However, with regard to adaptability, there is a display that indicates a tendency towards significance where men show higher scores than women, which suggests that men are more adaptable than women. The students’ samples show that the self-control scale appears to be higher in men than in women, suggesting that men show a model of greater emotional control than women who participated in the study. This finding contrasts with the competencies and skills evaluated with the MARS instrument, which reported women achieving higher scores than men. Originality/value: During the last few years, the study of emotions has been an essential change in the world of research. The influence of emotions in the academic field and later in the workplace has been seen as an essential way to improve well-being and increase motivation and productivity. Even so, there are a significant number of unknowns, such as the influence they have on different sexes.

以学生和工人为样本的情绪技巧研究

目的:本研究旨在根据性别评估工人和大学生的情绪智力(EQ)和情绪能力水平。此外，本文所建立的研究试图从不同的角度分析情商和情绪能力的性别差异。设计/方法/方法:该研究使用单向方差分析(ANOVA)来确定每个样本中男性和女性得分的差异。在厄瓜多尔基多居住的102名工人和来自旧金山基多大学的378名大学生的样本中，使用自我知情工具来确定情商和情感能力的水平。情商(EQ)类型特质的评估是通过psamurez(2003)开发的西班牙语简短版特质情商问卷(TEIQue-SF)进行的。研究发现:首先，研究对员工样本的变量进行了详细的分析，结果表明，得分最高的是情感调节风格测量(MARS)量表。在TEIQue的不同方面，最高的是情感(43245分)，而较低的是适应性(11362分)。在分析员工样本时，结果显示，在情感能力和情商方面，性别之间没有显著差异。然而，在适应性方面，有一个显示表明，男性的得分高于女性，这表明男性比女性更具适应性。学生的样本显示，男性的自我控制量表似乎高于女性，这表明参与研究的男性比女性表现出更强的情绪控制模式。这一发现与MARS仪器评估的能力和技能形成了对比，MARS仪器报告的女性得分高于男性。原创性/价值:在过去的几年里，情绪研究已经成为研究领域的一个重要变化。情绪在学术领域以及后来在工作场所的影响被视为改善幸福感、增加动力和生产力的重要途径。即便如此，仍有大量的未知因素，比如它们对不同性别的影响。

期刊介绍： The aim of Intangible Capital is to publish theoretical and empirical articles that contribute to contrast, extend and build theories that contribute to advance our understanding of phenomena related with management, and the management of intangibles, in organizations, from the perspectives of strategic management, human resource management, psychology, education, IT, supply chain management and accounting. The scientific research in management is grounded on theories developed from perspectives taken from a diversity of social sciences. Intangible Capital is open to publish articles that, from sociology, psychology, economics and industrial organization contribute to the scientific development of management and organizational science. Intangible Capital publishes scholar articles that contribute to contrast existing theories, or to build new theoretical approaches. The contributions can adopt confirmatory (quantitative) or explanatory (mainly qualitative) methodological approaches. Theoretical essays that enhance the building or extension of theoretical approaches are also welcome. Intangible Capital selects the articles to be published with a double bind, peer review system, following the practices of good scholarly journals. Intangible Capital publishes three regular issues per year following an open access policy. On-line publication allows to reduce publishing costs, and to make more agile the process of reviewing and edition. Intangible Capital defends that open access publishing fosters the advance of scientific knowledge, making it available to everyone. Intangible Capital publishes articles in English, Spanish and Catalan.
