Does Trait Emotional Intelligence Predict Unique Variance in Early Career Beyond IQ and Personality Success

an article by José Manuel de Haro García (Agbar water company (GDF SUEZ), Comunidad Valenciana, Spain) and Juan Luis Castejón Costa (Alicante University, Spain) published in Journal of Career Assessment Volume 22 Number 4 (November 2014)

Abstract

In order to determine the contribution of emotional intelligence (EI) to career success, in this study, we analysed the relationship between trait EI (TEI), general mental ability (GMA), the big five personality traits, and career success indicators, in a sample of 130 graduates who were in the early stages of their careers.

Results from hierarchical regression analyses indicated that TEI, and especially its dimension “repair,” has incremental validity in predicting one of the career success indicators (salary) after controlling for GMA and personality.

These findings provide support for the use of TEI measures as predictors of career success in the early stage.
