Description
Summary:This paper attempts to investigate the role of Neuroticism in moderating the relationship between Emotional Intelligence and service providers' job performance. Based on 167 responses from service providers, their peers as well as their supervisors, a series of hierarchical regression analyses were conducted. The results indicate that Neuroticism significantly moderates the relationships between Regulation of Emotion (ROE) and peer's and supervisor's evaluations of job performance, and between Use of Emotion (UOE) and peer's and supervisor's evaluations of job performance among Malaysia's service providers. Implications for managers and future research are discussed.
