The Relationship

This study investigate the relationship between social intelligence and organizational citizenship behaviour of Government Parastatals in Rivers State. Social Skill (SS) and Social Information Processing (SP) was used as dimensions of social intelligence as against the measures of organization citizenship behaviour which are altruism, sportsmanship, conscientiousness sportsmanship, courtesy and civic virtue. Two hypotheses were developed and tested within a population size of hundred (100) senior level employees that was conveniently selected from twenty (20) Government Parastatals in Rivers state. One hundred (100) of these employees were issued copies of questionnaires but only ninety-four (94) questionnaires were retuned and used for this study. The spearman rank correlation coefficient was used to test the hypotheses with the aid of the SPSS v20.0. Findings from the analysis showed that social skills has a moderate and positive relationship between social skills and the measures organization citizenship behaviour while social information processing showed a low but positive relationship with the measures of organization citizenship behaviour. The study therefore concludes that there is a significant relationship between social intelligence and measures of organization citizenship behaviour of Government Parastatals in Rivers State. Based on the conclusion, the study proffered relevant recommendations like providing management programs related to the development of social skills among others.

AbstractThe aim of this research is to examine the relationship between social intelligence and loneliness of academics in the workplace. This study involves 326 (149 female/177 male) academics employed in various universities in Turkey and North Cyprus. The age average of participants is 39.09 years. In this study, the Loneliness at Work Scale (LAWS) and Tromso Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS) have been utilized. The data were analyzed using multiple regression and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient analysis techniques. The findings showed that social information processing, social skills, and social awareness, which are the sub-dimensions of social intelligence, positively explained 26% of social deprivation. Social skills and social awareness positively explained 13% of social companionship. The findings also showed that the social information processing sub-dimension did not meaningfully explain social companionship.

The Relationship

Empathy is essential for effective social interaction. People often express the belief that empathy is closely related to aggressive behavior, but empirical data has challenged this assumption. However, there is a lack of research that focuses on the role of empathy in the relationship between trait anger and aggressive behavior. The current research focuses on the roles that different components of empathy have performed in the combinations of trait anger-hostile cognition-aggressive behavior link and attempt to identify, with reference to Integrated Model of Emotion Processes and Cognition in Social Information Processing, at which step this may occur. Participants included 663 undergraduate students who completed self-report measures of Trait Anger Scale, Aggressive Behavior Questionnaire, the Interpersonal Reactivity Index, and the Reactive-Proactive Aggression Questionnaire. Results from correlation analysis show that there is no significant correlation between cognitive empathy and aggressive behavior ( r = −.06) but do however suggest a significant correlation between affective empathy and aggressive behavior ( r = −.19). Results from structural equation modeling reveal that different components of empathy perform different roles in relation to aggressive behavior. The moderated mediating model analysis results show that cognitive empathy played a moderating role in both the direct effect and the first stage of the mediating model of trait anger-hostile cognition-aggression behavior. The results of multiple mediation model analysis demonstrate that affective empathy only played a partial mediating role between hostile cognition and aggressive behavior. This study contributes to understanding of Social Information Processing Models (SIPMs) and provides insight into the relationship between empathy and aggressive behavior.

The primary aim of this study was to assess the moderating role of emotion regulation in the relationship between some components of social information processing (hostile interpretation and anger) and aggressive behavior. The secondary aim was to assess whether emotion regulation, hostile interpretation, and anger account for gender differences in aggressive behavior. A total of 1,125 adolescents (627 girls) filled out the social information processing questionnaire to assess hostile interpretation, anger, and emotion regulation. Reactive and proactive aggressive behaviors were assessed by self- and peer reports. The results showed that adaptive regulation negatively predicted aggressive behavior and moderated the relationship between anger and reactive aggressive behavior. Boys’ higher scores for aggressive behavior were accounted for by their higher scores for anger and lower scores for emotion regulation. However, the strength of the relationships among variables was similar for both boys and girls. Findings of this study indicate the importance of emotion regulation as a target for aggressive behavior interventions.

The Relationship

To examine if leaders' implicit followership theory can be transferred from the behavior level to the competence level, we used a social information processing perspective to investigate the effects of leaders' implicit followership prototypes on employee marketability. Participants were 331 employees of companies in China, who completed measures of their leaders' implicit followership prototypes, internal and external marketability, and psychological empowerment, and their leaders rated the employees' in-role performance. Results showed that leaders' implicit followership prototypes were positively correlated with employees' internal and external marketability, these 2 effect mechanisms were partly mediated by employees' psychological empowerment, and employees' in-role performance negatively moderated both the effects of leaders' implicit followership prototypes and the mediating effect of psychological empowerment in the relationship between leaders' implicit followership prototypes and employees' marketability. Our findings enrich research into implicit theories, marketability as an employee competence, and social information processing within the context of leadership, and have implications for management practice.

The Relationship

Twitter may be considered to be a decentralized social information processing platform whose users constantly receive their followees’ information feeds, which they may in turn dispatch to their followers. This decentralization is not devoid of hierarchy and heterogeneity, both in terms of activity and attention. In particular, we appraise the distribution of attention at the collective and individual level, which exhibits the existence of attentional constraints and focus effects. We observe that most users usually concentrate their attention on a limited core of peers and topics, and discuss the relationship between interactional and informational attention processes—all of which, we suggest, may be useful to refine influence models by enabling the consideration of differential attention likelihood depending on users, their activity levels, and peers’ positions.
