Kajian empirikal ke atas kecerdasan emosi telah menunjukkan bahawa wujudnya perkaitan yang rapat antara kecerdasan emosi dengan tingkah laku pelajar. Pada masa yang sama, laporan mengenai beberapa kejadian yang berkaitan dengan cetusan emosi dalam kalangan pelajar di negara kita menimbulkan persoalan tentang tahap kecerdasan emosi mereka. Kajian ini bertujuan mengenal pasti indeks kecerdasan emosi dalam kalangan pelajar sekolah menengah dan menghuraikan profil kecerdasan emosi mereka. Sampel kajian ini terdiri daripada 513 orang pelajar tingkatan dua dan empat di empat buah sekolah di negeri Selangor dan Negeri Sembilan. Inventori Kecerdasan Emosi Malaysia – Remaja (IKEM–R) ditadbir untuk mengukur kecerdasan emosi responden. Indeks kecerdasan emosi diukur berdasarkan tujuh domain kecerdasan emosi bermula dari 0 – 100 bagi menggambarkan kedudukan kecerdasan emosi mereka. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa indeks kecerdasan emosi pelajar–pelajar yang dikaji ialah 76.02, iaitu berada di bahagian bawah kuartil keempat. Profil kecerdasan emosi bagi keseluruhan sampel mendapati terdapat tiga domain yang memperoleh skor kurang dari 75 peratus, iaitu domain–domain regulasi kendiri, kemahiran sosial dan kesedaran kendiri. Justeru, ketiga–tiga domain ini perlu diberi perhatian untuk meningkatkan kecerdasan emosi mereka secara keseluruhan. Kertas ini juga melaporkan profil kecerdasan emosi mengikut tingkatan, jantina dan lokasi sekolah. Kata kunci: Kecerdasan emosi; perkembangan emosi; remaja Empirical research on emotional intelligence has uncovered the relationship between emotional intelligence and students’ behavior. Concomitantly, reports in the media regarding events that are related to emotional outburst among the students raised an issue about students’ level of emotional intelligent.

Sample of the study consisted of 513 form two and form four students from four schools in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan. Malaysian Emotional Quotient Inventory for adolescene (MEQI–A) was administered to determine the emotional quotient of the respondent. The EQ index was calculated based on the seven domains and ranging from 0 – 100 to describe individual’s emotional intelligence.

PurposeThis research paper aims to follow a line of research that examines the impact of elements of emotional intelligence (EI), particularly those related to self‐awareness, on self‐other agreement and performance.Design/methodology/approachThis is a quantitative study that employs the same methodology as Sosik and Megerian to analyze survey data gathered from a matched sample of 146 managers and 1,314 subordinates at a large international technology company based in North America.FindingsThe analysis revealed that the relationship between EI and leader performance is strongest for managers who underestimate their leader abilities. Underestimators earn higher follower ratings of leader performance than all other agreement categories (In agreement/good, In agreement/poor, and Overestimators). The analysis also suggests that there appears to be a negative relationship between EI and leader performance for managers who overestimate their leader abilities.Research limitations/implicationsImplications of the counterintuitive findings for underestimators as well as the imperative for further study utilizing alternative measures of EI are discussed.Originality/valuePrevious empirical work in this area used an ad hoc measure of EI. This study extends this work by utilizing a larger, business sample and employing a widely‐used and validated measure of EI, the Emotional Quotient Inventory. Results further illuminate the nature of the relationship between EI and self‐other agreement and provide a potential selection and development tool for the improvement of leadership performance.

Kecerdasan emosi adalah sebuah istilah umum, akan tetapi jika dikaji lebih dalam dan dipelajari isinya sebenarnya bukanlah hal baru. Dalam pengajaran Islam sendiri sudah termaktub dalam pendidikan seperti kesadaran diri (QS. Az Zumara: 15), pengendalian diri (QS. Al Hadid: 23), ketekunan, antusiame, motivasi diri (QS. Thaaha: 67-68 ), empati kepada sesama (QS. An Nur: 2), dan kemampuan sosial (QS. Al Hujurat: 13). Inti yang ingin didapatkan adalah bagaimana seseorang itu mengetahui, menguasai, dan mengontrol emosi yang biasanya merujuk kepada perilaku kedewasaan seseorang yang biasanya disebut kecerdasan emosi. Kaitan konsep kecerdasan emosi dan konsep pendidikan islam telah terlihat pada level kaitan kontrol diri dan relasi sosial antar manusia. Akan tetapi tidak bisa dipunkiri bahwa konsep kecerdasan emosi memiliki beberapa kekurangan dalam kaitannya dengan perkembangan dan peningkatan nilai penghambaan kepada Allah Emotional intelligence is indeed a relative term but when examined more deeply and study the actual contents are not considered new. In the Islamic teaching itself are included in the development of Islamic education such as self-awareness (QS. Az Zumara: 15), self-control (QS. Al Hadid: 23), perseverance, enthusiasm, motivation to self (QS. Thaaha: 67-68 ), empathy toward others (QS. An Nur: 2), and social skills (QS. Al Hujurat: 13). The procession in essence is resulted to how a person will know, master and control emotions all of which are often referred to maturity attitude of person namely emotional intelligence. The linkage concept of emotional intelligence to the concept of Islamic education has been seen at the level of the relationship of self (self-control) and social relations between human (horizontal). But it cannot deny that the concept of emotional intelligence has some shortcomings on several matters relating to the development and increase the value of devotion to God Almighty. Kata kunci: kecerdasan emosi, perspektif, pendidikan Islam

Emotional intelligence may affect organizational performance, and the aim of our research was to examine whether this statement can be proven in the case of financially successful organizations or not. Information about leaders has been derived from online surveys with Genos EI and also from interviews, and we gathered data about organizational success from the national TAX system. Leaders usually determine group and organizational effectiveness, so we analyzed data from 22 leaders working in successful Hungarian companies. According to our results, some emotional competencies correlate with performance. In this case self-awareness, awareness of others and self-management seemed to affect organizational performance. In our regression analysis, self-awareness seemed to be a predictor variable of performance. The relationship between emotional intelligence and performance should be examined further by expanding on the analysis of other performance indicators and leadership styles.
