| description | Adopting a primary prevention perspective, this study examines competencies with the potential to enhance well-being and performance among future workers. More specifically, the contributions of ability-based and trait models of emotional intelligence (EI), assessed through well-established measures, to indices of hedonic and eudaimonic well-being were examined for a sample of 157 Italian high school students. The Mayer Salovey Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) was used to assess ability-based EI, the Bar-On Emotional Intelligence Inventory (EQ-i) and the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TeiQue) were used to assess trait EI, the Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS) and the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) were used to assess hedonic well-being, and the Meaningful Life Measure (MLM) was used to assess eudaimonic well-being. The results highlight the contributions of trait emotional intelligence in explaining both hedonic and eudaimonic well-being, after controlling for the effects of fluid intelligence and personality traits. Implications for further research and intervention regarding future workers are discussed. |
