Abstract:
This
empirical work evaluated the intelligence of the emotion-work performance
nexus. The paper specifically examined whether differences exist between the
intelligence of emotion dimensions in work performance and the link among the
variables. The sample size for the study was 140 respondents, selected from
institutions in the Township of Sunyani. The convenience sample method was
used. The study adopted a quantitative design and a cross-sectional survey. The
researchers developed a questionnaire and administered it at the job places of
the respondents. In the estimated model, the explained variable is work
performance, and the explanatory variable is the intelligence of emotion. The
intelligence of emotion has subscales such as own emotions awareness, others’
emotion awareness, own emotions management, and others’ emotions management.
Both inferential and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. The
inferential statistics used were One-Way Analysis of Variance, correlation
analysis, and regression analysis. The results were presented in Tables and
figures. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 26 software
was used. The results indicate a significant difference in work performance and
overall intelligence of emotion, including a compelling non-negative connection
linking overall intelligence of emotion and the performance of a job. The
management of organizations should take into consideration the findings of the
current study and put in place training programmes to improve the intelligence
of emotions of their employees since the intelligence of emotion plays a
significant positive role in work performance. Future studies using causal
models are worthy of research, to ascertain if the findings of the current
study can be corroborated.
