More Research Is Required To Clarify The<br />

Concepts Of EI<br />

� The Consortium For Research On <strong>Emotional</strong> <strong>Intelligence</strong> In Organizations<br />

promotes research to be conducted on the following:<br />

� Construct validity: What is emotional intelligence? What does it look like?<br />

What are the different components, <strong>and</strong> how are they related? How is it<br />

different from other concepts? What is the relationship between emotional<br />

intelligence <strong>and</strong> important emotional <strong>and</strong> social competencies?<br />

� Impact: In what ways <strong>and</strong> to what extent do improvements in emotional<br />

intelligence enhance individual, group, <strong>and</strong> organizational performance?<br />

� How it works: What are the mechanisms that connect increases in emotional<br />

intelligence with changes in individual performance <strong>and</strong> organizational<br />

effectiveness?<br />

� Change <strong>and</strong> development of EI: There should be in-depth, longitudinal studies<br />

of interventions designed to foster EI in individuals <strong>and</strong> groups (e.g., training<br />

<strong>and</strong> coaching efforts that target self-awareness <strong>and</strong> other competencies). This<br />

research should include in-depth qualitative inquiry as well as quantitative<br />

assessment of effectiveness.<br />
