1. A study was conducted by Behjat and Chowdhury (2012) to analyze the interrelationship of
emotional intelligence and self-efficacy, and diversity receptiveness of abroad undergrads. The
independant variables of this study are emotional intelligence and self-efficacy. According to
Schutte et al (2009), the emotional intelligence can be measured from four dimensions which
were perception for emotion, managing own emotion, managing others and utilization of
emotion. Next, self-efficacy can be measured from four sources which were mastery experience,
emotional and physiological state, vicarious experience and social persuasion (Usher and
Pajares, 2008). Meanwhile, the dependent variable of this study is diversity receptiveness.
Diversity receptiveness is defined as the ability to accept others of different genders or races
(Gaze, 2003). In addition, the supporting theory used in this study was Social Cognitive Theory
developed by Bandura (1977). Apart from this, the population of this study was 389 respondents.
Based on Krejcie & Morgan (1970) table, the researcher had chosen 120 post graduate students
enrolled in post graduate business programs at University Utara Malaysia by using simple
random sampling. However, only 89 understudies who topped off the survey effectively were
utilized for this investigation. Furthermore, the measuring tools used for this study were also
been used in past research. The Diversity Receptivity Scale (DRS) created by Gaze (2003) was
chose as the measuring tool for diversity receptiveness due to its succinctness and extremely
oversaw and approved by different analysts (Soni 2000 and Gaze 2003). After that, emotional
intelligence was measured based on 33 items adopted from Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS)
by Schutte et al. (2009). Besides, General Perseived DSelf-efficacy Scale (GPSS) created by
Usher & Pajares (2008) which include of 24 items was used to gauge the diversity receptiveness.
Based on the study, the findings had shown that there is a noteworthy connection between
emotional intelligence, the capabilities of self-efficacy, and diversity receptiveness of
understudies.

2. A research was conducted by Festus (2012) to decide if there is a huge connection between
emotional intelligence and academic achivement of understudies in arithmetic. Emotional
intelligence is the independent variable of this research. According to Farn-Shing, Ying- Ming,
Ching-Yua and Chia-An (2007), emotional intelligence can be measured by six factors which
were Facilitating Thought (FT), Emotional Management (EM), Emotional Perception (EP),
Emotional Awareness (EA), Emotional Concern of Others (ECO) and Emotional Control (EC).
Meantime, dependent variable of this research is academic achievement. According to Fetus
(2012), academic achivement is defined by the Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT). In
addition, the supporting theory used in this research was Emotional Intelligence Theory by
Gardner (1983). The population of this research was 11600 Senior Auxiliary two understudies
from Open Senior Optional Schools in FCT, Abuja. The researcher had chosen 10% of the
population (1160 respondetns) by using proportional stratified random sampling. This is on the
grounds that the respondents was picked dependent on school areas (gatherings territories, urban
and country), sexual orientation (young men and young ladies), and capacities (high, center, and
low achievers). Furthermore, the instrutments used for this study were also been used in past
research. Moreover, the emotional intelligence was measured based on 35 questions adapted
from Emotional Intelligence Inventory (EII) for teenagers created by Farn-Shing, Ying- Ming,
Ching-Yua and Chia-An (2007). To gauge the academic achievement of respondents, a
Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) which was created by the researcher of this research was
used. This test contained 50 questions and canvassed all the Topics in the Public Science
Educational plan for Senior Optional two understudies in Nigeria published by the Nigerian
Research and Development Council (NERDC). Based on the study, the outcome indicated that
there was a huge low sure connection between the emotional intelligence of SS2 understudies
and their academic achivement in math.

3. A study was conducted by Khan, Masrek and Nadzar (2014) to investigate the relationship
between dimensions of emotional intelligence (self-assessment, teamwork and collaboration,
optimism and service-orientation) and organizational commitment among Pakistani university
librarians. The independant variable of this study is emotional intelligence. Based on Bipath
(2007), emotional intelligence can be measured from three dimesions which were self-
assessment, teamwork and collaboration, and optimism while Goleman (1998) was defined
emotional intelligence can measure based on one dimension which was service orientation.
Besides, the dependent variable of this study is organizational commitment. According to Allen
and Meyer (1990), organizational commitment can be measured from three components which
were affective commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment. In addition,
the supporting theories used in this research were Emotional Intelligence Model by Goleman
(1995) and FLICC (2011) Competencies Model. The population of this study was 670 Pakistani
university librarians. After that, a sample of 225 respondents was chosen by the researchers
through simple random sampling. Furthermore, the instrutments used for this study were also
been used in past research. The organizational commitment was gauged by adapting Allen and
Meyer's (1990) organizational commitment scale and which consisted of 5 items. Besides, the
emotional intelligence scale by Bipath (2007) included 15 items, were adapted to measure three
dimensions of emotional intelligence which were self-assessment (5 items), teamwork and
collaboration (5 items), and optimism (5 items). On the other hand, the emotional intelligence
scale by Goleman (1998) was adapted to measure one dimension of emotional intelligence,
namely service orientation, and this scale included 4 items. Based on the study, the results show
that three dimensions of emotional intelligence, namely self-assessment, optimism and service
orientation significantly predict organizational commitment. However, teamwork and
collaboration being related altogether with organizational commitment, however it was anything
but an indicator of organizational commitment among Pakistani college bookkeepers.

6. A study was conducted by Mortan, Ripoll, Carvalho and Bernal (2014) to examines the
correlation between the EI dimensions (appraisal and expression of emotions, utilization of
emotions and regulation of emotions) and entrepreneurial intention mediated by entrepreneurial
self-efficacy. The dependant variable of this study is Entrepreneurial Intention. Next, the
independant variable of this study is Emotional Intelligence. Salovey and Mayer (1990) defined
EI as a type of social and personal intelligence that involves "the ability to monitor the emotions
and feelings of themself and others, distinguish them and use this information to guide one's own
thoughts and actions". This study also has a mediator variable (MV) which are Entrepreneurial
self-efficacy (ESE). The supporting theory found in the research are Emotional Intelligence
model developed by Salovey and Mayer (1990). The population is no stated in this study and
cannot found in Krejcie and Morgan (1970) sample size table. The sample size are 394 volunteer
university students from University of Valencia in Spain which include 51.7% and the University
of Coimbra in Portugal which contribute 48.3%. From by using probability sampling, which is
known as simple random sampling. The instruments were used in this study was based on past
research. Emotional intention is following the procedure adopted by (Krueger, Reilly and
Carsrud, 2000; Sánchez, 2009). Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy (ESE) scale by De Noble, Jung,
and Ehrlich (1999) adapted and validated in Spain (Moriano, Palaci and Morales, 2006) and

existential thinking, personal meaning production, transcendental awareness and conscious state
expansion. Secondly, the dependent variable of this research is health behaviours (HB). Based on
Department of Health and Human Services in U.S. Public Service, health behaviors can be
divided into six constructs which were smoking, nutrition/eating habits, physical activity, alcohol
and drugs, and stress management and safety. Additionally, emotional intelligence and self-
efficacy are the mediator variables of this study. According to Schutte, Malouff and Bhullar
(2009), emotional intelligence defined can be measured from four facets which were perception
of emotion, managing own emotion, managing others’ emotion, and utilization of emotion.
Meanwhile, self-efficacy which refers to a large and steady sense of personal competence to
cope effectively with a variety of stressful circumstances (Schwarzer and Jerusalem, 1995;
Sherer et al., 1982). Furthermore, Theory of Triadic Influence by Flay and Petraitis, 2010; Flay
and Petraitis (1994) was utilized in this study. The population and sample of this study were 400
university students from 16 dormitories of Universiti Putra Malaysia. Besides, proportionate
stratified random sampling was used since the respondents were chosen based on different
dormitories and portions of the gender. The instruments used in this study were also been used in
past research. Firstly, Health Behaviour Questionnaire (HBQ) was used to gauge the extent of
health behaviours. This questionnaire was included 32 items adapted from Lifestyle Self-Test of
Department of Health and Human Services in U.S. Public Service. After that, a Spiritual Self-
Report Inventory (SISRI) developed by King and DeCicco (2009) consists of 24 items, was
adopted to measure the four components of spiritual intelligence (SI) which were critical
existential thinking (7 items), personal meaning production (5 items), transcendental awareness
(7 items), and conscious state expansion (5 items). Thirdly, the emotional intelligence was
measured by the Assessing Emotions Scale (TAES) which consists of 33 items, developed by
Schutte, Malouff and Bhullar (2009). Finally, self-efficacy was measured by a measuring tool
with 10 items, namely Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), which was developed by

Schwarzer and Jerusalem (1995). In this study, both of the English and Bahasa Malaysia (BM)
language version questionnaires were prepared by the researchers and the BM version was
translated to English by the language experts from the Faculty of Educational Studies of
Universiti Putra Malaysia. Based on the study, the findings indicate that spiritual intelligence,
emotional intelligence, and self-efficacy have an association with the dependent variable, namely
health behaviour.
