EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR—II

Abstract

This issue is a continuation of the International Journal of Organizational Analysis's special issue on emotional intelligence published in the last issue of the 2002 volume. The introduction to that issue noted that research investigating the relationship between intelligence and behavior in organizations had traditionally focused on the general intelligence construct, g, but that a growing number of researchers were focusing on other aspects of intelligence (Svyantek & Rahim, 2002). Theorists such as Gardner (1983; 1999) and Sternberg (2002) have provided conceptualizations of intelligence as an adaptive mechanism for individuals residing within organizations based on specific intelligences, not g. One of these specific intelligences is emotional intelligence (EI) (Goleman, 1995; 1998).
