PurposeIt is understood that the personality traits and intelligence levels of the tourist guides directly or indirectly affect their ability to solve the problems they encounter on tours. This study aims to test whether emotional intelligence has an intermediary effect on the problem-solving skills of professional tourist guides with perfectionist personality traits.Design/methodology/approachField research was conducted within the study to analyze suggestions on the interaction of variables on an empirical basis, and data were collected using interview, document review and survey technique. Thus, the mixed-methods approach was used in the study. Within the scope of this study in which 410 professional tourist guides were surveyed, a substantial part of the research data was obtained through the application of the survey technique. Besides, interviews were carried out with 12 professional tourist guides. The clues obtained by the qualitative study were transformed into hypotheses within the scope of the quantitative study, and the intermediary effect was tested.FindingsA relationship between the main themes, sub-themes and codes was determined within the framework of the qualitative method. As a result of the mediation test, it has been revealed that emotional intelligence has an intermediary role in the relationship between perfectionism and problem-solving skills. According to the results of bootstrapping, the indirect effect of emotional intelligence on perfectionism and problem-solving skills was found out to be significant.Practical implicationsThe study acknowledged that positive perfectionism, high emotional intelligence and problem-solving skills contributed to the professional tourist guides being willing to provide better service. In tune with the assumption that the more the quality of the tours carried out through agencies increases, the more satisfied tourists are; the study implicated that it would be advisable for agencies to prioritize the trainings provided for their tour guides to enhance their positive perfectionist, emotionally intelligent personalities and problem-solving skills. Given that professional tourist guides may create a positive country image with the quality service they provide, the significance of such trainings stretch beyond the benefits of such organizations.Originality/valueRelevant variables were analyzed with a mixed method and applied on professional tourist guides.

La inteligencia emocional y la resolución de problemas son de gran importancia para el trabajo social, puesto que se trata en gran parte de una profesión emocionalmente exigente y estresante, y de una disciplina científica aplicada para la resolución de problemas psicosociales. El objetivo de esta encuesta fue investigar la inteligencia emocional de los estudiantes de trabajo social en relación con sus características demográficas, las características relativas a sus estudios y sus habilidades de resolución de problemas. La muestra fue compuesta de 368 estudiantes inscritos en el programa de licenciatura de la Facultad de Trabajo Social de la Universidad de Ática Occidental en Atenas, Grecia. Para la recolección de los datos, los instrumentos principales fueron el Inventario de Resolución de Problemas (PSI) y la Escala de inteligencia Emocional Wong-Law (WLEIS). Los resultados del estudio demuestran una correlación importante entre la inteligencia emocional y la capacidad para resolver problemas. Se consideran las implicaciones para una investigación adicional y la educación de los estudiantes de trabajo social.Emotional intelligence and problem solving are of great importance for social work, as this is largely an emotionally demanding and stressful profession as well as an applied scientific field of psychosocial problem solving.

Many entrepreneurs contribute significantly to the national economy of their countries. The purpose of our research is to determine how graduate students' entrepreneurial intentions are related to emotional intelligence and what role creativity plays in this process. This quantitative research study was conducted with graduate students at a private university in the southwest region of the USA. The data were collected from 399 participants via an online survey and analyzed by completing a Structural Equation Modelling. The results showed that entrepreneurial intentions are affected directly and positively by problem-solving skills, emotional self-awareness, and impulse control. Additionally, we found that problem-solving skills affect creativity directly and positively while creativity does not have a direct effect on entrepreneurial intentions.
