Sensitive but not sentimental: Emotionally intelligent people can put their emotions aside when necessary
چکیده انگلیسی

Are emotionally intelligent people sentimental? Does their greater sensitivity handicap them or are they able, as theory would expect, to experience and regulate emotions flexibly, depending on their goals? We examined this issue in organizational settings. Good managers are indeed expected to be both attuned to feelings (theirs as well as their subordinates’) and able to put them aside when needed to take tough (but necessary) decisions. Our results show that emotionally intelligent managers do make better managers, as reflected by greater managerial competencies, higher team efficiency and less stressed subordinates. Moreover, and most importantly, emotionally intelligent managers are not just nicer managers. As our results show, emotional intelligence has nothing to do with sentimentality. Actually, it is managers with low EI who have the greatest difficulties to put their emotions aside and not let them interfere when inappropriate.


► Good managers are expected to be both attuned to feelings and able to put them aside when necessary.
► Theory expects emotionally intelligent people to experience and regulate emotions flexibly.
► Emotionally intelligent managers are attuned to feelings and able to put them aside when needed.
