Psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Work Group Emotional Intelligence Profile-Short version.

Research on emotions in the workplace has recently developed into a major field. The study and contribution of Emotional Intelligence (EI) to this area has been fundamental. However, EI has been predominantly studied from an individual perspective, and group level studies as well as comparisons among cultures are necessary. Thus, the development and adaptation of group measures to other languages is needed. In this study, we examine the reliability and validity of the Spanish version of the Work Group Emotional Intelligence Profile-Short version (WEIP-S) in a sample of 332 employees from 53 work groups. In summary, our Spanish version of the WEIP-S replicates the factor structure and has an adequate reliability rating, and the relations with other criterion variables were similar to those of the Australian English version. This Spanish version of the WEIP-S provides us with a good instrument to further analyze EI in groups and to promote the comparison of these variables among cultures.

Relación entre burnout e inteligencia emocional y su impacto en salud mental, bienestar y satisfacción laboral en profesionales de enfermería / Reationship between burnout and emotinal intelligence and its influence onmetnal health, wll-being and work satisfaction among nursing proffesionals

El presente estudio analiza la relacion entre Intelgenica Emocional Percibida (IEP), y el Burnout en profesionales de enfermería. Analizamos la capacidad predictiva de la IEP para explicar los niveles de burout y salud mental en la práctica de la enfermería. Los anáisis de correlación mostraron asociaciones significativas entre Atención que se relacionó positivamente con Despersonalización. Claridad se asoció positivamente con realización personal, con buena salud metnal yalta satifacción en el rabajo. Ls análisis de regresión jerárquica confiraron estos resultados e indicaron que la IEP EXPLICA PARTE DE LA VIARIANZA DE Burnut no explicada or variables sociodemográficas Además la IEP influyó de dos manera diferentes sobre el burnout: directamente sobre las dimensiones del síndrome e indirenctamete vía escala afecto. Por último, comprobamos que tener bajas puntuaciones en el síndrome influye en unmayor bienestar y satisfacción con el trabajo. Estos hallazgos evidencian que ciertos factores cognitivos y emocionales deben ser tenido en cuenta para explicar el síndrome burnout en los profesionales de enfermería(AU)

In this study, we analize the relationship between Perceived Eotinal Intelligence (PEI) and Burnout among nrsing proffesionals. Specifically, we analize the PEI predictive capacity to explan burnout levels and emntal health among nursing professionals Correlational anayses yielded positivite significant relationships between Emotional Attntion and Despersonalization. Emotional Clarity was positively correlated to Personal accomplishment, mental health and work satisfation. On the other hand, regression analyses verified these results and showed that PEI explained part of the vairance that was not explained by sociodemographic variables. Moreover. PEI influenced burnout in two different ways: a directly on burnout dimensions and inderectly by the affect scale. Finally, we found that a lower score on burnout mplied being more satisfied with work and higher bell-being than a higher score. These findings demosntrate that certain cognitives and emotional factors should be considered to exlain burnout in nursing professionals(AU)
