Bibliography:Linking Emotional Intelligence and Performance at Work brings much needed sense making to the concept of emotional intelligence. Organizational scholars and practitioners will welcome this volume which enables them to sort through the multiple perspectives and emerging programs of research shaping our understanding of this key construct. In this edited volume, leading edge researchers discuss the link between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Workplaces performances. Contributors from many areas such as social science, management (including organizational practitioners), and psychologists have come together to develop a better understanding of how EI can influence work performance, and whether research supports it. A unique feature of this book is that it integrates the work of social scientists and organizational practitioners. Their mutual interests in EI provide a unique opportunity for basic and applied research and practises to learn from one another in order to continually refine and advance knowledge on EI. The primary audiences for this book are researcher, teachers, and student of psychology, management, and organizational behavior. Due to its clear practical applications to the workplace, it will also be of interest to organizational consultants and human resource practitioners.
