The negative effects of extrinsic motivation on organizational emotional intelligence
Introduction:
Emotional intelligence is an emergent topic. However, few studies have tested its relationship with motivation at
work, which remains unclear. In particular, the effects of extrinsic motivation on emotional intelligence are under-investigated.
Method:
The Organizational Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (ORG-EIQ) and the Work and Organizational Motivation
Inventory (WOMI) were administered to 486 Italian employees. In testing the relationship of emotional intelligence with
motivation, we used a new Italian model that includes self-awareness; self-management; social competency and relationship
management.
Results:
Findings suggest that intrinsic motivation dimensions add a significant percentage of variance, in addition to variances
due to extrinsic motivation with respect to emotional intelligence.
Discussion/Conclusion:
The results highlight the negative association of extrinsic motivation with relationship management
in particular. New research and intervention perspectives are suggested.
