Nowadays, not only psychologists are interested in the study of Emotional Intelligence (EI). Teachers, educator, managers, employers, and people, in general, pay attention to EI. For example, teachers would like to know how EI could affect student’s academic results, and managers are concerned about how EI influences their employees’ performance. The concept of EI has been widely used in recent years to the extent that people start to applying it in daily life. EI is broadly defined as the capacity to process and use emotional information.

Measuring Emotional Intelligence
Since being popularised by Goleman's (1995) best-seller by the same name, Emotional Intelligence (EI), as a construct, has permeated circles in both lay and academic psychological communities. This construct has been broadly applied to address health, education, and business concerns. An in-depth examination of EI research, however, suggests some concerns regarding this construct. In particular, a great deal of variety exists regarding how EI is best conceptualised and measured. The current volume is designed to address measurement issues regarding EI in a multi-faceted manner. The work presented here provides the interested reader with broad, in-depth, and critical perspectives on (a) how EI is best measured, and, by extension, (b) what EI really is.

All chapters in this book provide a full and clear frame of reference for several problems, issues and disciplines discussed here, offering professional and experienced insights from a range of disciplines including psychology and arts. As such, this book represents a highly useful and contemporary manual for both students and the general public interested in the social sciences.
Corporate Social Responsibility and Organizational Psychology: Quid pro Quo
Researchers, corporate leaders, and other stakeholders have shown increasing interest in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)—a company’s discretionary actions and policies that appear to advance societal well-being beyond its immediate financial interests and legal requirements. Spanning decades of research activity, the scholarly literature on CSR has been dominated by meso- and macro-level perspectives, such as studies within corporate strategy that examine relationships between firm-level indicators of social/environmental performance and corporate financial performance. In recent years, however, there has been an explosion of micro-oriented CSR research conducted at the individual-level of analysis, especially with respect to studies on how and why job seekers and employees perceive and react to CSR practices. This micro-level focus is reflected in 12 articles published in this edited volume as a research topic collection in Frontiers in Psychology (Organizational Psychology Specialty Section) titled “Corporate social responsibility and organizational psychology: Quid pro quo.”
