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.
