Description
INTRODUCTION The purpose of the present study is to explore the role participative classroom environments play in the development of college student's emotional intelligence (EI), and whether EI is related to academic achievement. Emotional intelligence has become an increasingly popular topic in recent years in the management and behavioral science literature. Researchers now broadly acknowledge that emotions play a critical role in organizational life and performance (Ashforth and Humphrey, 1995; Ashkanasy, 2004; Ashkanasy and Daus, 2005; Hartel, Zerbe, and Ashkanasy, 2004). Emotional intelligence can be regarded as a central part of current zeitgeist (Mayer, Salovey and Caruso, 2000) or "affective revolution" (Barsade, Brief, and Spataro, 2003) which emerges as a result of discontent with previously adopted predominantly cognitive and rational paradigms. EI has also become a concern for companies that face a serious gap between required and actual level of their employees' emotional abilities. Although employers of new college graduates emphasize the importance of "soft skills," they are substantially less satisfied with graduates' interpersonal and emotional competencies than with their conceptual and analytical skills (Rynes, Trank, Lawson, and Ilies, 2003; Shivpuri and Kim, 2004; Whetten and Cameron, 2005). Acknowledgement of this discrepancy makes it essential for educators to address the issue of enhancing students' emotional intelligence in academic institutions.
