In this edited volume, leading edge researchers discuss the link between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and workplace performance. Contributors from many areas such as social science, management (including organizational practitioners), and psychologists have come together to develop a better understanding of how EI can influence work performance, and whether research supports it. A unique feature of this book is that it integrates the work of social scientists and organizational practitioners. Their mutual interests in EI provide a unique opportunity for basic and applied research and practices to learn from one another in order to continually refine and advance knowledge on EI. The primary audience for this book is researchers, teachers, and students of psychology, management, and organizational behavior. Due to its clear practical applications to the workplace, it will also be of interest to organizational consultants and human resource practitioners.
The Science of Change integrates over 50 years of research in many fields into a unifying theory of behavioral change, Intentional Change Theory (ICT). This multi-level, fractal theory is equally applicable to getting better at playing the guitar, achieving a department sales target, rallying a community to action over a toxic spill, or mobilizing a country to fight a pandemic. In this book, Richard E. Boyatzis examines each phase and principle of the theory and provides examples of sustained, desired change at the individual, dyadic, team, organizational, community, and country level.

This book focuses on developing our emotional intelligence by exploring our thinking, emotions, what we say, and how we act, towards supporting personal growth and development, while refuelling our emotional “tank”. Challenging experiences can be transformational, and this book is written for those who want to grow through life’s successes and struggles but might not know where to start. Self-awareness, resilience, empathy, compassion fatigue, grief and loss, rejection, spiritual well-being, and managing our emotions are presented within these pages, and are important skills which we need to succeed and grow. The book is full of original insights, heart-warming stories, ideas, and practical activities that will cheer readers on in their personal development adventure. It demystifies emotional intelligence by explaining it in everyday language, yet has a strong theoretical underpinning making it useful for individuals, as well as an academic educational resource. It is designed to be used by an independent reader or, equally, for the purpose of supplementing a professional development course or workshop.

Organizations in the twenty-first century are driven by a need to achieve synergy for all of their various processes, and organizational structures such as teams have become one of the major ways to do so. Thus, the fourth volume of Research in Management is devoted to highlighting conceptual frameworks and research investigations which elucidate factors related to effective team processes and those which may, in fact, hinder effectiveness.
