    Connecting emotion regulation to career outcomes: do proactivity and job search self-efficacy mediate this link?
    (Dove Medical Press Ltd., 2019-12-13) Urquijo Cela, Itziar ; Extremera Pacheco, Natalio; Solabarrieta, Josu
    Introduction: Over the last decade, emotion regulation has drawn much attention in the organisational literature, specifically in career outcomes. Although the relationship between emotion regulation and career outcomes has been well established, potential mechanisms that might account for this relationship are still unclear. Method: This study attempts to narrow this gap by examining the mediating effect of proactivity and job search self-efficacy on the relationship between emotion regulation and career outcomes in a sample consisting of 399 graduates (277 women, 122 men) with ages ranging from 22 to 60 years (M=30.5, SD=8.26). Results: Structural equation modelling showed partial mediation effects of job search self-efficacy between emotion regulation and career outcomes. However, no mediating effect was found for proactivity. Discussion: These results suggest that the promotion of emotion regulation and self-efficacy may be fundamental in the development of programmes for career outcomes. Finally, implications and limitations of the present findings are discussed.

    The contribution of emotional intelligence to career success: beyond personality traits
    (MDPI, 2019-11-29) Urquijo Cela, Itziar ; Extremera Pacheco, Natalio; Azanza, Garazi
    This study sought to investigate the role of emotional intelligence in both extrinsic and intrinsic career success in early and later career stages. Specifically, we examined the predictive and incremental validity of emotional intelligence in career success after controlling for personality factors in a sample of 271 graduates. When analyzing extrinsic career success, regression analyses revealed that demographic variables, such as gender, age, area of study and career stage, and the variable of proactive personality, were related to salary. When the dependent variable was job satisfaction, emotional intelligence acted as a strong predictor, even when personality traits and proactive personality were controlled. These findings provide preliminary evidence that emotional intelligence is a relevant addition to guide the achievement of career success. Finally, limitations of the results and implications of these findings are discussed.

    Validation of the Spanish version of the Wong Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS-S)
    (Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos del Principado de Asturias, 2019) Extremera Pacheco, Natalio ; Rey, Lourdes; Sánchez Álvarez, Nicolás
    Background: The Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS) is a self-report emotional intelligence scale based on the theoretical framework of Mayer & Salovey (1997). The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS; Wong & Law, 2002) in a large sample of 1,460 adults (815 women and 645 men) ranging from 17 to 64 years old (M = 33.27, SD = 11.60). Method: The scale was back-translated and participants completed a battery of questionnaires including the Spanish WLEIS (WLEIS-S), perceived stress scale, subjective happiness scale, life satisfaction scale, and suicide behavioural questionnaire. Results: The results provided evidence of adequate internal consistency and criterion validity consistent with the original version. Confi rmatory factor analysis showed a four-factor structure with good fit. Finally, gender differences were found in the overall Emotional Intelligence score and on the appraising the emotion of others dimension, with women scoring higher than men. Conclusions: Overall our results provide evidence that the WLEIS-S might be a promising tool for the assessment emotional intelligence in the Spanish context.
