Intellectual quotient (IQ) is a measure of intellectual “ability” of performing, comprehension, and learning. Previous study reported that intelligence measures predict various measures of job performance and income. Emotional intelligence (EI) is the capacity of awareness, controlling and expression of one's emotions, seeking more feedback, and managing one's emotion to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathically. These characteristics are also important for personal and professional success. Objective: This study tests a hypothesis whether the average national income rank is best predicted by the combined effect of the population's average intelligence quotient (one's ability to perform and learn) and emotional intelligence (emotional ability to express and handle interpersonal relationships). Method: The population average intelligence quotient, emotional intelligence, and indices of good governance, which include corruption perception index and educational expenses for each country were obtained from public data sources. The outcome variable for this study was the average national income rank. All the variables that are significant in univariate analysis were included in the multivariate regression analyses but excluded from the final model if not significant. Result: The total number of countries included in the final analysis was 81 because of missing values in different variables. The product of intelligent quotient (IQ) scores and emotional intelligence (EI) were found highly correlated at -0.75 ( p <0.05) with the national average income rank. The independent effect of intelligence quotient (IQ) and emotional intelligence (EI) was found not significant when their interaction effect (the product of IQ and EI) was introduced in the model. The R square value for the multivariate model with the interaction effect of intelligence quotient (IQ) and emotional intelligence (EI) was the highest at 0.73. The final model also included measures of good governance such as educational expense and corruption perception index (CPI). The corruption perception index (CPI) and educational expense were strongly correlated with measurements of good governance such as democracy index, functioning of government, electoral process and pluralism, political participation, and civil liberty, but these variables were found not significant in the multivariable model. Conclusion: The study concludes the effect of emotional intelligence and intelligence quotient are complementary to each other and holds the key to predicting average national income or wealth rank. This study also implies a nation may build more wealth if educational institutes focus on developing emotional intelligence (EI) and intelligence quotient (IQ).

Background: Intelligence quotient (IQ) is a measure of intellectual ability of performing, comprehension, and learning. Previous studies reported that intelligence measures predict various measures of job performance and income. Emotional awareness (EA) is the measure of emotional capacity to recognize and make sense of one’s emotions, as well as those of others. A high level of emotional awareness (EA) indicates one can learn from expressed emotions quickly. Both IQ and EA are important for personal and professional success. Objective: This study tests the hypothesis that the average national income rank is best predicted by the combined effect of the population's average intelligence quotient (one's ability to perform and learn) and emotional awareness (ability to recognize and make sense of emotions). Method: The population’s average intelligence quotient (IQ), emotional awareness (EA), and indices of good governance, which include corruption perception index and educational expenses for each country, were obtained from public data sources. The outcome variable was per capita gross national income. All the variables that are statistically significant in univariate analysis were included in the multivariate regression analyses but excluded from the final model if not statistically significant. Result: The total number of countries included in the final analysis was 81 because of missing values in different variables. Intelligence quotient (IQ) and emotional awareness (EA) were found to be highly correlated, at 0.77 and 0.32 respectively, with the per capita gross national income. The independent effects of intelligence quotient (IQ) and emotional awareness (EA) were found significant in the multivariate model after adjusting for measures of good governance. The R square value for the final multivariate model was 0.82. The corruption perception index (CPI) and educational expenses were strongly correlated with other measures of good governance such as democracy index, functioning of government, electoral process and pluralism, political participation, and civil liberty, but these variables were found not significant in the multivariate model. Conclusion: The study concludes the effect of intelligence quotient (IQ) and emotional awareness (EA) are complementary to each other but intelligence quotient (IQ) is a stronger predictor than emotional awareness (EA) for gross national income or wealth. We also find that indicators of good governance, including corruption perception index and educational expenses, have important associations with per capita gross national income. This study implies a nation may build more wealth if the educational system focuses on developing emotional awareness in addition to intelligence.

The authors developed a wealth curve that can predict a group of individual’s wealth based on the crossover interaction effect of the average intelligence quotient (one's ability to perform, comprehend and learn) and emotional intelligence (emotional awareness and emotional ability to express and handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathically).

Transparency International released an annual report on the corruption perception index in 2018. The survey results of 180 countries showed a bad score because more than two-thirds scored less than 50. The highest score is 100, which means very clean or free of corruption, and the lowest is zero which means it is very corrupt. Indonesia must learn from New Zealand and Australia who have succeeded in helping improve the corruption perception index in their country, even though Indonesia's corruption perception index experienced an upward trend in 2014-2018. In an effort to analyze Good Governance in eradicating corruption in Indonesia, the researchers applied the Penta Helix Model, better known as the ABCGM concept, namely Academicians, Business, Community, Government, and Media to reduce the level of corruption in Indonesia. This research method is qualitative to investigate, find, describe, and explain the quality or features of social influences that cannot be explained, measured or described through a quantitative approach. The Penta Helix model is considered to have a positive influence in eradicating corruption.

The authors developed a wealth curve (bell curve) that can predict a group of individual’s wealth based on the crossover interaction effect of the average intelligence quotient (one's ability to perform, comprehend and learn) and emotional awareness (emotional ability to recognize and make sense of emotions). To move towards the right on the X-axis of the Kabir wealth curve (e.g. accumulate more wealth), individuals have to improve emotional awareness and choose a professional career path that lands higher income. Similarly, those facing social injustice can accumulate more wealth by improving emotional awareness, which will help them navigate challenging environments.

O σκοπός της έρευνάς μας ήταν η διερεύνηση της επίδρασης της διαφθοράς σε ορισμένες μακροοικονομικές μεταβλητές. Συγκεκριμένα θέλαμε να εξετάσουμε τις σχέσεις μεταξύ διαφθοράς και επιπέδου εισοδήματος, βάσει της κατάταξης της παγκόσμιας τράπεζας (ΕΗ1), διαφθοράς και ρυθμού οικονομικής μεγέθυνσης (ΕΗ2), διαφθοράς και γραφειοκρατίας (ΕΗ3), διαφθοράς και φορολογικών εσόδων (EH4), και τέλος διαφθοράς και επιπέδου στρατιωτικών δαπανών (EH5). Οι ερευνητικές υποθέσεις ΕΗ1 και ΕΗ4 διερευνώνται στο πλαίσιο μιας περιγραφικής ανάλυσης, καθώς ο στόχος σε τέτοιου είδους αναλύσεις είναι η διαπίστωση της ύπαρξης κάποιου προτύπου στην συμμεταβολή των δύο μεταβλητών, ενώ η ΕΗ2 διερευνάται στο πλαίσιο μιας αιτιολογικής ανάλυσης, καθώς αποσκοπεί στην μέτρηση κάποιας αιτιώδους σχέσης μεταξύ δύο μεταβλητών. Για την διερεύνηση των παραπάνω ερευνητικών υποθέσεων επιλέξαμε ένα δείγμα 180 χωρών, για τις οποίες υπήρχαν στοιχεία αναφορικά με την τιμή του δείκτη αντιλαμβανόμενης διαφθοράς (Corruption Perception Index, CPI) για το 2008. Οι χώρες αυτές, σύμφωνα με την κατάταξη που χρησιμοποιεί η Παγκόσμια Τράπεζα (για οικονομίες με πληθυσμό μεγαλύτερο των 30.000 ατόμων), ανήκουν σε μια από τις ακόλουθες τέσσερεις κατηγορίες βάσει του κατά κεφαλήν Ακαθάριστου Εθνικού Εισοδήματος (gross national income (GNI) per capita) το 2009: • Χώρες Χαμηλού Εισοδήματος: Χώρες με κατά κεφαλήν Ακαθάριστο Εθνικό Εισόδημα μικρότερο από 995$. • Χώρες Κατωτέρου-Μέσου Εισοδήματος: Χώρες με κατά κεφαλήν Ακαθάριστο Εθνικό Εισόδημα μεταξύ 996$ και 3.945$. • Χώρες Ανωτέρου-Μέσου Εισοδήματος: Χώρες με κατά κεφαλήν Ακαθάριστο Εθνικό Εισόδημα μεταξύ 3.946$ και 12.195$. • Χώρες Υψηλού Εισοδήματος: Χώρες με κατά κεφαλήν Ακαθάριστο Εθνικό Εισόδημα μεγαλύτερο από 12.196$.

ABSTRACTCorruption is an impediment to development and also amounts to a violation of human rights.1 The fight against corruption is a requirement in the good governance program.2 Civil society as the biggest stakeholder in a Statehas the prominent role in the fight againstcorruption.3 Indonesia placed at 107th rank in the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) and is one among states which are severely impededby corruption.4 Corruption in Indonesia is rampant and pervasive, several cases such as Cicak versus Buaya case and the appointmentof Budi Gunawan have attracted public attention massively.5 Indonesian civil society gunawan has actively engaged in the processes of these cases and their voice did make change, for example in the case of Cicak versus Buaya, the voice of civil society has led to the deponeering decision of Bibit and Chandera’s prosecution.6 This article aims to explain thelegal framework on the participation of civil society with regard to corruption prevention and to conceptualize the role of the civil societyin combating corruption by taking the evidence of emerging civil society and its relation to anti-corruption in Indonesia. This article alsoaims to explain the relationship between civil society, democracy and good governance as a strategic anti-corruption measures.

The study of emotional intelligence (EI) in work environments is a trending topic. However, few studies have examined the relationship between EI and salary. Therefore, the presented research aims to analyze the influence of EI on salary using a multioccupational sample. The participants were 785 subjects aged between 18 and 58 years (M = 39.41; SD = 10.95). EI ability was measured using the Mobile Emotional Intelligence Test (MEIT), while the salary was collected together with other sociodemographic variables in a questionnaire created ad hoc. After controlling for the age, gender, social class, educational level, and work experience variables, the results of correlation and regression analysis showed that participants with higher EI and emotional-repair capacity generally have higher salary. These findings provide preliminary evidence that EI is a relevant variable in achieving career success. The ability to channel and manage emotions could help employees develop stronger interpersonal relationships, leading to higher positions and greater financial compensation.
