Additionally, researchers disagree on how to measure the concept (e.g., Bar-On, 1997; Mayer, Salovey, Caruso, 2002; Wong Law, 2002), unlike the IQ test in which there was consensus on the correct answers. It is easier for researchers to agree on formulas, calculations, and verbal ï ¬â€šuency than on an appropriate response to emotions (e.g., anger or frustration), which is more like a Rorschach’s test that allows latitude for subjective observation. Unlike mental ability, which has been researched for centuries, the term â€Å"emotional intelligence† was coined in 1990 (Salovey Mayer, 1990). Thus, it is no surprise that the relatively new concept of emotional intelligence is heavily disputed (VanRooy Viswesvaran, 2004). The most divisive issue is over the ability-focused (e.g., MSCEIT; Mayer et al., 2002) versus the traitbased construct (e.g., EQ-i; Bar-On, 1997). While the psychology literature remains ambivalent about the concept of emotional intelligence, the management literature has accepted it (Cartwright Pappas, 2008). Utilizing a variety of emotional intelligence scales, management studies have linked emotional intelligence to task performance, organizational achievement, organizational commitment, and work-related stress (Dulewicz Higgs, 1998; Dulewicz, Higgs, Show MoreRelatedLabour Turnover8464 Words   |  34 Pagesstudies to be one of the key elements for organisational success, this end could not be achieved without initially having a strong and stable internal environment.
