Workgroup emotional intelligence scale development and relationship to team process effectiveness and goal focus 

 -  2002

Writers in this genre have predicted that individuals with high emotional intelligence perform better in all aspects of management.

Version 3 (WEIP-3), which wa designed specifically to profile the emotional intelligence of individuals in work teams. We applied the scale in a study of the link between emotional intelligence and two measures of team peformance: team process effectveness and team goal focus. The results suggest that the average level of emotional intelligence of tams members, as mesured by the WEIP-3, is reflected in the initial performance of teams. In our study, low emotional intelligence teams initially performed at a lower level than the high emotional intelligence teams. Over time, however, teams with low average emotional intelligence raised their performance to match that of teams with high emotional intelligence
