EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE (EQ)
Definition of Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence is the innate potential to feel, use, communicate, recognize,
remember, describe, identify, learn from, manage, understand and explain emotions.

Emotional intelligence theory (EQ - Emotional Quotient)
Emotional Intelligence - EQ - is a relatively recent behavioural model, rising to
prominence with Daniel Goleman's 1995 Book called 'Emotional Intelligence'. The early
Emotional Intelligence theory was originally developed during the 1970's and 80's by the
work and writings of psychologists Howard Gardner (Harvard), Peter Salovey (Yale) and
John Mayer (New Hampshire). Emotional Intelligence is increasingly relevant to
organizational development and developing people, because the EQ principles provide a
new way to understand and assess people's behaviours, management styles, attitudes,
interpersonal skills, and potential. Emotional Intelligence is an important consideration in
human resources planning, job profiling, recruitment interviewing and selection,
management development, customer relations and customer service, and more.
Emotional Intelligence links strongly with concepts oflove and spirituality:
bringing compassion and humanity to work, and also to 'Multiple Intelligence' theory
which illustrates and measures the range of capabilities people possess, and the fact that
everybody has a value.

The EQ concept argues that IQ, or conventional intelligence, is too narrow; that
there are wider areas of emotional intelligence that dictate and enable how successful we
are. Success requires more than IQ (Intelligence Quotient), which has tended to be the
traditional measure of intelligence, ignoring eseential behavioural and character elements.
We've all met people who are academically brilliant and yet are socially and inter-
personally inept. And we know that despite possessing a high IQ rating, success does not
automatically follow.
Emotional intelligence - two aspects
This is the essential premise of EQ: to be successful requires the effective awareness,
control and management of one's own emotions, and those of other people. EQ embraces
two aspects of intelligence:
Understanding yourself, your goals, intentions, responses, behaviour and all.
Understanding others, and their feelings.
Emotional intelligence - the five domains
Goleman identified the five 'domains' of EQ as:
1. Knowing your emotions.
2. Managing your own emotions.
3. Motivating yourself.
4. Recognising and understanding other people's emotions.
5. Managing relationships, ie., managing the emotions of others.
Emotional Intelligence embraces and draws from numerous other branches of
behavioural, emotional and communications theories, such as NLP (Neuro-Linguistic
Programming), Transactional Analysis, and empathy. By developing our Emotional
Intelligence in these areas and the five EQ domains we can become more productive and
successful at what we do, and help others to be more productive and successful too. The
process and outcomes of Emotional Intelligence development also contain many elements

Ethical business and socially responsible leadership are strongly connected to EQ.
So is the concept oflove and spirituality in organisations. Compassion and humanity
are fundamental life-forces; our Emotional Intelligence enables us to appreciate and
develop these vital connections between self, others, purpose, meaning, existence, life
and the world as a whole, and to help others do the same.

People with strong EQ have less emotional 'baggage', and conversely people with low
EQ tend to have personal unresolved issues which either act as triggers (see
Freud/Penfield TA roots explanation) or are constants in personality make-up.
Empathy and active interpretive listening is also very relevant to EQ.
Ingham and Luft's Johari Window and associated exercises on the free team building
games section also help explain another perspective. That is, as a rule, the higher a
person's EQ, the less insecurity is likely to be present, and the more openness will be
tolerated.
High EQ = low insecurity = more openness.
A person's preparedness to expose their feelings, vulnerabilities, thoughts, etc., is a
feature of EQ. Again the converse applies. Johari illustrates this very well (the Johari
Window diagram).
Maslow is also relevant - self-actualisers naturally have stronger EQ. People
struggling to meet lower order needs - and arguably even middle order needs such as
esteem needs - tend to have lower EQ than self-actualisers. The original 5 stage
Hierarchy of Needs explains that all needs other than self-actualisation are deficiency
drivers, which suggest, in other words, some EQ development potential or weakness.
There is a strong thread of EQ running through Stephen Covey's 7 Habits.

Benziger Thinking Styles and Assessment Model
McGregor XY Theory
Three main models of EI:
Ability EI models
Mixed models of EI
Trait EI model
The ability-based model
Salovey and Mayer's conception of EI strives to define EI within the confines of the
standard criteria for a new intelligence. Following their continuing research, their initial
definition of EI was revised to: "The ability to perceive emotion, integrate emotion to
facilitate thought, understand emotions and to regulate emotions to promote personal
growth."
The ability based model views emotions as useful sources of information that help one
to make sense of and navigate the social environment.[12]The model proposes that
individuals vary in their ability to process information of an emotional nature and in theirability to relate emotional processing to a widercognition. This ability is seen to manifest
itself in certain adaptive behaviors. The model proposes that EI includes 4 types of
abilities:
1. Perceiving emotions the ability to detect and decipher emotions in faces,
pictures, voices, and cultural artifacts- including the ability to identify ones own
emotions. Perceiving emotions represents a basic aspect of emotional intelligence,
as it makes all other processing of emotional information possible.
2. Using emotions the ability to harness emotions to facilitate various cognitive
activities, such as thinking and problem solving. The emotionally intelligent
person can capitalize fully upon his or her changing moods in order to best fit the
task at hand.

3. Understanding emotions the ability to comprehend emotion language and to
appreciate complicated relationships among emotions. For example,
understanding emotions encompasses the ability to be sensitive to slight variations
between emotions, and the ability to recognize and describe how emotions evolve
over time.
4. Managing emotions the ability to regulate emotions in both ourselves and in
others. Therefore, the emotionally intelligent person can harness emotions, even
negative ones, and manage them to achieve intended goals.
The ability-based model has been criticized in the research for lacking face and predictive
validity in the workplace. [13]
Measurement of the ability-based model
Different models of EI have led to the development of various instruments for the
assessment of the construct. While some of these measures may overlap, most researchers
agree that they tap slightly different constructs. The current measure of Mayer and
Saloveys model of EI, the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test
(MSCEIT) is based on a series of emotion-based problem-solving items.Consistent with
the model's claim of EI as a type of intelligence, the test is modeled on ability-based IQtests. By testing a persons abilities on each of the four branches of emotional
intelligence, it generates scores for each of the branches as well as a total score.
Central to the four-branch model is the idea that EI requires attunement to social
norms. Therefore, the MSCEIT is scored in a consensus fashion, with higher scores
indicating higher overlap between an individuals answers and those provided by a
worldwide sample of respondents. The MSCEIT can also be expert-scored, so that the
amount of overlap is calculated between an individuals answers and those provided by a
group of 21 emotion researchers.
Although promoted as an ability test, the MSCEIT is most unlike standard IQ tests in
that its items do not have objectively correct responses. Among other problems, the
consensus scoring criterion means that it is impossible to create items (questions) that

only a minority of respondents can solve, because, by definition, responses are deemed
emotionally 'intelligent' only if the majority of the sample has endorsed them. This and
other similar problems have led cognitive ability experts to question the definition of EI
as a genuine intelligence.
In a study by Fllesdalthe MSCEIT test results of 111 business leaders were
compared with how their employees described their leader. It was found that there were
no correlations between a leader's test results and how he or she was rated by the
employees, with regard to empathy, ability to motivate, and leader effectiveness.
Fllesdal also criticized the Canadian company Multi-Health Systems, which administers
the MSCEIT test. The test contains 141 questions but it was found after publishing the
test that 19 of these did not give the expected answers. This has led Multi-Health Systemsto remove answers to these 19 questions before scoring, but without stating this officially.
Mixed models of EI
The Emotional Competencies (Goleman) model
The model introduced by Daniel Goleman focuses on EI as a wide array of
competencies and skills that drive leadership performance. Goleman's model outlines
four main EI constructs
1. Self-awareness the ability to read one's emotions and recognize their impact
while using gut feelings to guide decisions.
2. Self-management involves controlling one's emotions and impulses and
adapting to changing circumstances.
3. Social awareness the ability to sense, understand, and react to others'
emotions while comprehending social networks.
4. Relationship management the ability to inspire, influence, and develop others
while managing conflict.
Goleman includes a set ofemotional competencies within each construct of EI.
Emotional competencies are not innate talents, but rather learned capabilities that must be

worked on and developed to achieve outstanding performance. Goleman posits that
individuals are born with a general emotional intelligence that determines their potential
for learning emotional competencies.[16]Goleman's model of EI has been criticized in the
research literature as mere pop-psychology (Mayer, Roberts, & Barsade, 2008).
Measurement of the Emotional Competencies (Goleman) model
Two measurement tools are based on the Goleman model:
1) The Emotional Competency Inventory (ECI), which was created in 1999 and the
Emotional and Social Competency Inventory (ESCI), which was created in 2007.
2) The Emotional Intelligence Appraisal, which was created in 2001 and which can betaken as a self-report or 360-degree assessment[17].
The Bar-On model of Emotional-Social Intelligence (ESI)
Bar-On (2006) developed one of the first measures of EI that used the termEmotion
Quotient. He defines emotional intelligence as being concerned with effectively
understanding oneself and others, relating well to people, and adapting to and coping
with the immediate surroundings to be more successful in dealing with environmentaldemands.[18]Bar-On posits that EI develops over time and that it can be improved through
training, programming, and therapy.[2] Bar-On hypothesizes that those individuals with
higher than average E.Q.s are in general more successful in meeting environmental
demands and pressures. He also notes that a deficiency in EI can mean a lack of success
and the existence of emotional problems. Problems in coping with ones environment are
thought, by Bar-On, to be especially common among those individuals lacking in the
subscales of reality testing, problem solving, stress tolerance, and impulse control. In
general, Bar-On considers emotional intelligence and cognitive intelligence to contribute
equally to a persons general intelligence, which then offers an indication of ones
potential to succeed in life.[2] However, doubts have been expressed about this model in
the research literature (in particular about the validity of self-report as an index of

emotional intelligence) and in scientific settings (see, e.g., Kluemper, 2008). [19] it is being
replaced by the trait EI model discussed below.
Measurement of the ESI Model
The Bar-On Emotion Quotient Inventory (EQ-i), is a self-report measure of EI
developed as a measure of emotionally and socially competent behavior that provides an
estimate of one's emotional and social intelligence. The EQ-i is not meant to measure
personality traits or cognitive capacity, but rather the mental ability to be successful in
dealing with environmental demands and pressures.[2] One hundred and thirty three items
(questions or factors) are used to obtain a Total EQ (Total Emotional Quotient) and to
produce five composite scale scores, corresponding to the five main components of the
Bar-On model. A limitation of this model is that it claims to measure some kind of ability
through self-report items (for a discussion, see Matthews, Zeidner, & Roberts, ). The EQ-
i has been found to be highly susceptible to faking (Day & Carroll, ; Grubb &
McDaniel,).
The Trait EI model
Petrides proposed a conceptual distinction between the ability based model and a
trait based model of EI.Trait EI is "a constellation of emotion-related self-perceptions
located at the lower levels of personality". In lay terms, trait EI refers to an individual's
self-perceptions of their emotional abilities. This definition of EI encompasses behavioral
dispositions and self perceived abilities and is measured by self report, as opposed to the
ability based model which refers to actual abilities, which have proven highly resistant to
scientific measurement. Trait EI should be investigated within apersonality framework.
An alternative label for the same construct is trait emotional self-efficacy.
The trait EI model is general and subsumes the Goleman and Bar-On models
discussed above. Petrides et al. are major critics of the ability-based model and the
MSCEIT arguing that they are based on "psychometrically meaningless" scoring
procedures (e.g., Petrides, Furnham, & Mavroveli,).

The conceptualization of EI as a personality trait leads to a construct that lies outside
the taxonomy of human cognitive ability. This is an important distinction in as much as it
bears directly on the operationalization of the construct and the theories and hypotheses
that are formulated about it.
Measurement of the Trait EI model
There are many self-report measures of EI, including the EQi, the Swinburne
University Emotional Intelligence Test (SUEIT),the Schutte Self-Report Emotional
Intelligence Test (SSEIT), a measure by Tett, Fox, and Wang (2005). From the
perspective of the trait EI model, none of these assess intelligence, abilities, or skills (as
their authors often claim), but rather, they are limited measures of trait emotional
intelligence (Petrides, Furnham, & Mavroveli, 2007). The Trait Emotional Intelligence
Questionnaire (TEIQue) is an open-access measure that was specifically designed to
measure the construct comprehensively and is currently available in 15 languages.
The TEIQue provides an operationalization for Petrides and colleagues' model that
conceptualizes EI in terms of personality.[22] The test encompasses 15 subscales organized
under four factors: Well-Being,Self-Control,Emotionality, and Sociability. The
psychometric properties of the TEIQue were investigated in a recent study on a French-Speaking Population, where it was reported that TEIQue scores were globally normally
distributed and reliable.
The researchers also found TEIQue scores were unrelated to nonverbal reasoning
(Ravens matrices), which they interpreted as support for the personality trait view of EI
(as opposed to a form of intelligence). As expected, TEIQue scores were positively
related to some of the Big Five personality traits (extraversion,agreeableness, openness,
conscientiousness) as well as inversely related to others(alexithymia, neuroticism).

EI is too broadly defined and the definitions are unstable
One of the arguments against the theoretical soundness of the concept suggests that
the constant changing and broadening of its definition- which has come to encompass
many unrelated elements had rendered it an unintelligible concept:
"What is the common or integrating element in a concept that includes: introspection
about emotions, Emotional expression, non-verbal communication with others, empathy,
self-regulation,planning, creative thinking and the direction ofattention? There is none."
Other criticsmention that without some stabilization of the concepts and the
measurement instruments, meta-analyses are difficult to implement, and the theory
coherence is likely to be adversely impacted by this instability.
EI cannot be recognized as a form of intelligence
Goleman's early work has been criticized for assuming from the beginning that EI is
a type of intelligence. Eysenck(2000) writes that Goleman's description of EI contains
assumptions about intelligence in general, and that it even runs contrary to what
researchers have come to expect when studying types of intelligence:
"Goleman exemplifies more clearly than most the fundamental absurdity of the
tendency to class almost any type of behaviour as an 'intelligence'... If these five 'abilities'
define 'emotional intelligence', we would expect some evidence that they are highly
correlated; Goleman admits that they might be quite uncorrelated, and in any case if we
cannot measure them, how do we know they are related? So the whole theory is built on
quicksand: there is no sound scientific basis".
Similarly, Locke claims that the concept of EI in itself is a misinterpretation of the
intelligence construct, and he offers an alternative interpretation: it is not another form or
type of intelligence, but intelligence--the ability to grasp abstractions--applied to a
particular life domain: emotions. He suggests the concept should be re-labeled and
referred to as a skill.

EI has no substantial predictive value
Landy has claimed that the few incremental validity studies conducted on EI have
demonstrated that it adds little or nothing to the explanation or prediction of some
common outcomes (most notably academic and work success). Landy proposes that the
reason some studies have found a small increase in predictive validity is in fact a
methodological fallacy incomplete consideration of alternative explanations:
"EI is compared and contrasted with a measure of abstract intelligence but not with a
personality measure, or with a personality measure but not with a measure of academic
intelligence." Landy
In accordance with this suggestion, other researchers have raised concerns about the
extent to which self-report EI measures correlate with established personality dimensions.
Generally, self-report EI measures and personality measures have been said to converge
because they both purport to measure traits, and because they are both measured in the
self-report form. Specifically, there appear to be two dimensions of the Big Five that
stand out as most related to self-report EI neuroticism and extraversion. In particular,
neuroticism has been said to relate to negative emotionality and anxiety. Intuitively,
individuals scoring high on neuroticism are likely to score low on self-report EImeasures.
The interpretations of the correlationsbetween self-report EI and personality have
been varied and inconsistent. Some researchers have asserted that correlations in the .40
range constitute outright construct redundancy,[31] while others have suggested that self-
report EI is a personality trait in itself.[20]
EI, IQ and job performance
Research of EI and job performance show mixed results: a positive relation has been
found in some of the studies, in others there was no relation or an inconsistent one. This

cognitive intelligence decreases, an idea first proposed in the context of academic
performance (Petrides, Frederickson, & Furnham, 2004). The results of the former study
supported the compensatory model: employees with low IQ get higher task performance
and organizational citizenship behavior directed at the organization, the higher their EI.
Potential EI vs. Actual EI Skills (EI vs EQ)
As written in my defintion section, I believe each child enters the world with a unique
potential for these components of emotional intelligence:
1. Emotional sensitivity
2. Emotional memory
3. Emotional processing and problem solving ability
4. Emotional learning ability.
The way we are raised dramatically affects what happens to our potential in each of
these areas. For example a baby might be born with a very high potential for music -- he
or she might be a potential Mozart -- but if that child's potential is never recognized,
nurtured, and enouraged, and if the child is never given the chance to develop their
musical potential, they will never become a talented musician later in life. The world will
then miss out on this person's special gift to humanity.
Also, a child being raised in an emotionally abusive home can be expected to use their
emotional potential in unhealthy ways later in life.
Because of these possibilities, I encourage you to make a distinction between a
person's inborn emotional potential versus their actual emotional skills and use of
emotional intelligence later in life. I suggest we use the term "emotional intelligence"
8/3/2019 Ahrm Assignment
16/22
only for a person's inborn, innate emotional potential. When we want to talk about their
actual emotional skills and emotional management as we see by their behavior, I suggest
we use the term "EQ" since it is already often being used talk about a person's practical
emotional skills.
Innate Emotional Intelligence vs "EQ"
Most writers interchange the terms "EQ" and "emotional intelligence". I believe,
however, it is useful to try to make distinction between a person's person's innatepotential versus what act ually happens to that potential over their lifetime. I believe each
baby is born with a certain potential for emotional sensitivity, emotional memory,
emotional processing and emotional learning ability. It is these four inborn components
which I believe form the core of one's emotional intelligence.
This innate intelligence can be either developed or damaged with life experiences,
particularly by the emotional lessons taught by the parents, teachers, caregivers and
family during childhood and adolescence. The impact of these lessons results in what I
refer to as one's level of "EQ." in other words, as I use the term, "EQ" represents a
relative measure of a person's healthy or unhealthy developmentof their innate emotional
intelligence.
When I say "EQ" I am not talking about a numerical test score like IQ. It is simply a
convenient name I am using. As far as I know, I am the only writer who is making a
distinction between inborn potential and later development or damage. I believe it is
possible for a child to begin life with a high level of innate emotional intelligence, but
then learn unhealthy emotional habits from living in an abusive home. Such a child will
grow up to have what I would call low EQ. I would suspect that abused, neglected and
emotionally damaged children will score much lower on the existing emotional
8/3/2019 Ahrm Assignment
17/22
intelligence tests compared to others having the same actual original emotional
intelligence at birth.
As I see it, I believe, then, that it is possible for a person to start out with high EI, but
then be emotionally damaged in early childhood, causing a low EQ later in life. On the
other hand, I believe it is possible for a child to start out with relatively low EI, but
receive healthy emotional modeling, nurturing etc., which will result in moderately high
EQ. Let me stress however that I believe it is much easier to damage a high EI child than
to develop the EQ of a low EI child. This follows the principle that it is generally easier
to destroy than create.
In comparison to say, mathematical intelligence, it is important to note that relatively
few people start out with high innate mathematical abilities and then have this ability
damaged through misleading or false math training or modeling. I say relatively few
because I mean in comparison to the number of emotionally sensitive children who
receive unhealthy and self-destructive emotional imprinting from any number of sources.
Parents and television shows don't generally teach that 2+2=968. But they do often teach
emotional lessons which are as equivalent in unhealthiness as this equation is in
inaccuracy. Or we might say which would be as damaging to an intimate relationship as
the false equation would be to the career of an accountant.
At present, all other models of emotional intelligence, including even the most
"pure" of the group, the Mayer/Salovey/Caruso model, combine the measurement of the
innate emotional variables (sensitivity, memory, processing and learning) with the
environmental affects on those same variables. Certain writers have defined intelligence
in general as "potential." I agree with this and this is why I want to distinguish between
EI and EQ.
1.Ability, Skill and Potential
This article discusses a key problem with the Mayer Salovey definition of EI and with
the Mayer Salovey Caruso test (MSCEIT). The problem is their use of the word "ability".

2. Innate EI and emotional damage during life
The Mayer Salovey definition, along with the way they discuss EI in their writing,
ignores the fact that a child can start out with high innate emotional intelligence and then
be emotionally damaged. (I discuss this further in my section on EI vs EQ.) I would like
to see them address this more in their work.
3. Emotional Vocabulary
I would like to see Mayer and Salovey address the fact that an emotionally
intelligent person is capable of mastering an extensive vocabulary of what I call feeling
words. By mastering I mean having the ability to not only perceive an extensive range of
feelings in oneself and others, but also to quickly assign the most specific label to the
feeling, for example in conversation with others or in self-reflection. In some of their
writing MSC do include the ability to express emotion as part of their first branch of EI,
but they seem to limit their test to only a few emotions compared with the much broader
available scope of feeling words which are available in the English language.
In common language we often think a person is "intelligent" when they have a large
vocabulary and can use it precisely. I believe this same concept applies to emotional
intelligence. But again, if a person is never specifically taught to use feeling words, it
does not necessarily mean they did not have high innate emotional intelligence, nor that
they cannot later expand their emotional vocabulary.
4. Emotional Knowledge
In the section on emotional understanding much of this is probably better called
emotional knowledge than an aspect of emotional intelligence itself. Knowledge can be
taught but intelligence represents potential before any learning has taken place. Of
course, if one is more intelligent, emotionally or otherwise, this learning takes place
faster and can go further.
5. Testing for EI
http://eqi.org/eidefs.htm#Potential%20EI%20vs.%20Actual%20EI%20Skills%20(EI%20vs%20EQ)%23Potential%20EI%20vs.%20Actual%20EI%20Skills%20(EI%20vs%20EQ)http://eqi.org/fw.htmhttp://eqi.org/fw.htmhttp://eqi.org/eidefs.htm#Potential%20EI%20vs.%20Actual%20EI%20Skills%20(EI%20vs%20EQ)%23Potential%20EI%20vs.%20Actual%20EI%20Skills%20(EI%20vs%20EQ)http://eqi.org/fw.htmhttp://eqi.org/fw.htm8/3/2019 Ahrm Assignment

This concern is with measuring emotional facilitation of thought and emotional
management. I don't see how you can really do this with a paper and pencil test. The
MSC team say they are measuring some of these things with their tests, but it is hard to
say how much their test scores reflect actual ability in real life situations, or when under
extreme stress. And these are the situations when highly developed emotional intelligence
may be the most important.
6. Abstractness
Finally their definition is a bit too abstract for me when it comes to things like
identifying emotion in art and music. I found this section of their CD ROM test a little
hard to take seriously when it asks you to look at a graphic design and try to guess what
emotions it is conveying. Therefore I would like to see them test for something like the
ability to identify emotion in tone of voice or body language instead.
Adaptation of the Mayer Salovey definition
1. Emotional identification, perception and expression
The ability to perceive and identify emotions in faces, tone of voice, body
language
The capacity for self-awareness: being aware of your own feelings as they are
occurring
The capacity for emotional literacy. Being able to label specific feelings in
yourself and others; being able to discuss emotions and communicate clearly and
directly.
2. Emotional facilitation of thought
The ability to incorporate feelings into analysis, reasoning, problem solving and
decision making
The potential of your feelings to guide you to what is important to think about
8/3/2019 Ahrm Assignment
20/22
3. Emotional understanding
The ability to solve emotional problems
The ability to identify and understand the inter-relationships beween emotions,
thoughts and behavior. For example, to see cause and effect relationships such as
how thoughts can affect emotions or how emotions can affect thoughts, and how
your emotions can lead to the behavior in yourself and others.
The ability to understand the value of emotions to the survival of the species
4. Emotional management
The ability to take responsibility for one's own emotions and happiness
The ability to turn negative emotions into positive learning and growing
opportunities
The ability to help others identify and benefit from their emotions
JOB INVOLVEMENT IN VARIOUS JOB SECTOR
Job involvement has been seen as influencing interrole conflict through role
segmentation and time and attention devoted to the job role. This study tested both a
direct and a moderated relationship using these variables.
The sample consisted of 456 employees in a major American service organization
who completed paper-and-pencil instruments including the Job Involvement
Questionnaire and new measures of the moderators and interrole conflict.
There was evidence of an indirect relationship between job involvement and
interrole conflict. Segmentation explained more variance than time or attention devoted
to roles. Though there was a direct correlation between job involvement and conflict, it
was weak and had no unique variance when the moderators were included.
Organizational Politics, Job Attitudes, and Work Outcomes: Exploration and
Implications for the Public Sector
8/3/2019 Ahrm Assignment
21/22
To promote understanding of employees' reactions to organizational politics. The
relationship between perception of organizational politics, job attitudes, and several other
work outcomes was examined among 303 public sector employees in Israel. Perception
of organizational politics was found to have had a negative relationship with job attitudes
(e.g., job satisfaction and organizational commitment), a positive relationship with
intention to leave the organization (exit), and a stronger positive relationship with
negligent behavior (neglect). It is suggested that public personnel will tend to react to
workplace politics with negligent behavior rather than by leaving. A weak negative
relationship was found between perception of organizational politics and employees'
performance as reported by supervisors. Perception of organizational politics also made a
unique contribution to explaining variance among the work outcomes, beyond the
variance explained by job attitudes and personal variables. Several implications and
recommendations for further inquiry into perception of politics in organizations,
particularly in the public sector, are noted.
Strategies for Involving the Private Sector in Job Training Programs.
This describes various strategies for involving the private sector in job training
programs and summarizes a study conducted with prime sponsors of Comprehensive
Employment and Training Act (CETA) programs in Texas. Included in a discussion of
involving the private sector in job training programs are the following topics: the new
mandate for private sector involvement; the benefits of business/industry involvement in
job training; the purpose of private sector involvement; barriers to private sector
involvement in job training; components of success (definition of goals, promotion and
management, involvement, cost); and strategies for collaboration (the vocational
education and CETA delivery systems). A bibliography for private sector involvement in
job training is also provided. Summarized next are the results of a survey completed by a
total of 24 CETA prime sponsors and Balance of State program contractors in the state of
Texas in order to determine the extent of private sector involvement in job training
programs and employment generating services.

Impact of Job Involvement on In-Role Job Performance and Organizational
Citizenship Behavior
The impact of job involvement on the self-report measures of in-role job
performance and organizational citizenship behavior. The results of this study revealed
that job involvement was positively correlated with both in-role job performance and
OCB . In addition to this it was found that organizational commitment partially mediated
the job involvement-performance relationship.
