The University of Iowa Recent empirical reviews have claimed a surprisingly strong relationship between job performance and self-reported emotional intelligence (also commonly called trait EI or mixed EI), suggesting selfreported/mixed EI is one of the best known predictors of job performance (e.g., ␳ˆ ⫽ .47; Joseph & Newman, 2010b). Results further suggest mixed EI can robustly predict job performance beyond cognitive ability and Big Five personality traits (Joseph & Newman, 2010b; O’Boyle, Humphrey, Pollack, Hawver, & Story, 2011). These criterion-related validity results are problematic, given the paucity of evidence and the questionable construct validity of mixed EI measures themselves. In the current research, we update and reevaluate existing evidence for mixed EI, in light of prior work regarding the content of mixed EI measures. Results of the current meta-analysis demonstrate that (a) the content of mixed EI measures strongly overlaps with a set of well-known psychological constructs (i.e., ability EI, self-efficacy, and self-rated performance, in addition to Conscientiousness, Emotional Stability, Extraversion, and general mental ability; multiple R ⫽ .79), (b) an updated estimate of the meta-analytic correlation between mixed EI and supervisor-rated job performance is ␳ˆ ⫽ .29, and (c) the mixed EI–job performance relationship becomes nil (␤ ⫽ –.02) after controlling for the set of covariates listed above. Findings help to establish the construct validity of mixed EI measures and further support an intuitive theoretical explanation for the uncommonly high association between mixed EI and job performance—mixed EI instruments assess a combination of ability EI and self-perceptions, in addition to personality and cognitive ability.

larity of Goleman’s work, a search of consulting firm websites indicates more than 150 consulting firms offer EI-related products and services (including two of the largest industrial/organizational psychology consulting firms, Development Dimensions International and Personnel Decisions International). Indeed, EI services have become a multimillion-dollar consulting industry (Grewal & Salovey, 2005), with some estimates suggesting that 75% of Fortune 500 companies have adopted EI-related products and services (Bradberry & Greaves, 2009). Despite the commercial expansion of the concept, some scholars from the organizational sciences have been skeptical about it, given the lack of consensus with regard to its definition, measurement, and validity (Landy, 2005; Murphy, 2006). For instance, one definitional ambiguity stems from the “emotional intelligence” label having been historically applied to two, relatively distinct theoretical constructs. The first sort of EI construct has been defined as “the ability to carry out accurate reasoning about emotions and the ability to use emotions and emotional knowledge to enhance thought” (Mayer, Roberts, & Barsade, 2008, p. 511), which emphasizes EI as an actual ability, or facet of intelligence (Daus & Ashkanasy, 2005; MacCann, Joseph, Newman, & Roberts, 2014). The second definition of EI uses the EI label as an umbrella term that encompasses a constellation of personality traits, affect, and self-perceived abilities,

Propelled by the New York Times bestseller of Daniel Goleman (1995), the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gained a great amount of public popularity and business attention in the past two decades; EI is currently considered a widely accepted practitioner tool for hiring, training, leadership development, and team building by the business community. As evidence of this, Goleman’s (1995) book has been touted as one of the 25 most influential business management books of all time by Time magazine (Sachs, 2011), and Goleman’s (1998) article published in Harvard Business Review has become the most requested reprint from this journal in the last four decades (Sardo, 2004).

rather than actual aptitude (Bar-On, 1997; Goleman, 1995; Petrides & Furnham, 2001). These two definitions have come to be called ability EI and mixed EI, respectively. Meta-analytic results have demonstrated that mixed EI measures and ability EI measures intercorrelate only moderately (␳ˆ ⫽ .26, Joseph & Newman, 2010b; ␳ˆ ⫽ .14, van Rooy, Viswesvaran, & Pluta, 2005), and they exhibit distinctive patterns of relationships with job performance. For example, Joseph and Newman (2010b) found that mixed EI measures exhibited a strong criterion-related validity coefficient of ␳ˆ ⫽ .47, whereas ability EI measures exhibited markedly lower validity for predicting job performance (␳ˆ ⫽ .18). Results of recent meta-analyses further suggest that mixed EI measures can robustly predict job performance beyond cognitive ability and Big Five personality traits (⌬R2 ⫽ .142 ⫽ 14%; Joseph & Newman, 2010b; ⌬R2 ⫽ .068 ⫽ 7%; O’Boyle, Humphrey, Pollack, Hawver, & Story, 2011), whereas ability EI measures exhibit near-zero incremental validity (⌬R2 ⫽ .002 ⫽ 0.2%; Joseph & Newman, 2010b; ⌬R2 ⫽ .004 ⫽ 0.4%; O’Boyle et al., 2011). Joseph and Newman (2010b) described this combination of results as “an ugly state of affairs” (p. 72) because many have considered ability EI (i.e., the weaker predictor of job performance) to be based upon a stronger theoretical model (Daus & Ashkanasy, 2005; Matthews, Roberts, & Zeidner, 2004; Matthews, Zeidner, & Roberts, 2002; Murphy, 2006), whereas mixed EI (i.e., the stronger predictor of job performance) has been at the center of controversy due to theoretical underdevelopment (Murphy, 2006). The lack of theoretical consensus surrounding what mixed EI is, combined with its superior predictive power, has created a paradox that we believe deserves additional clarification. Thus, in responding to previous calls for a theoretical understanding of the substantive content of mixed EI (Joseph & Newman, 2010b; Locke, 2005), we sought in the current study to answer two questions: “What do mixed EI instruments measure?” and “Why are mixed EI instruments related to job performance?” In the current article, we thus propose to make two contributions to the study of mixed EI and job performance. First, we shed light into the black box of mixed EI construct validity, to metaanalytically test past conceptualizations of what content mixed EI instruments actually measure. Second, in an attempt to explain why mixed EI is so strongly related to job performance, we illuminate common covariates of mixed EI and job performance and assess the extent to which mixed EI demonstrates incremental validity above and beyond these common covariates.

What Do Mixed EI Instruments Measure? In order to understand what might be in the black box of mixed EI instruments, we note that prior authors who have questioned the construct validity of mixed EI have done so primarily because many mixed EI items appear to capture well-established constructs other than emotional intelligence (Joseph & Newman, 2010b; Mayer et al., 2008; Murphy, 2006). In other words, it appears that authors of mixed EI measures may have (unknowingly) engaged in domain sampling (Cronbach & Meehl, 1955; Ghiselli, Campbell, & Zedeck, 1981; Nunnally, 1967), whereby mixed EI measures were constructed to sample from various well-known content domains in the field of psychology. Although domain sampling typically refers to the process of sampling items from a homogeneous content domain (e.g., developing a Conscientiousness scale

299

by drawing items from the Conscientiousness domain), the development of mixed EI measures appears to have involved heterogeneous domain sampling, or the sampling of items from a diverse set of content domains. Whereas heterogeneous domain sampling may illuminate why these measures appear to capture a “grab bag” of content domains, the question still remains: What exactly are these content domains that constitute “mixed EI”? In the following, we draw on prior theory and content analysis of popular mixed EI measures to hypothesize that these measures likely capture the following content domains: Conscientiousness, Extraversion, selfrelated qualities (i.e., general self-efficacy and self-rated performance), ability EI, Emotional Stability, and cognitive ability. We begin by noting that several EI scholars have recently offered suggestions regarding the content captured by mixed EI measures in an attempt to clear up the muddied waters of the construct. Specifically, Mayer et al. (2008) have summarized that mixed EI covers four content areas: (a) achievement motivation (which is similar to the industriousness facet of Conscientiousness; Roberts, Chernyshenko, Stark, & Goldberg, 2005), (b) controlrelated qualities such as impulse control and flexibility (which theoretically overlap with the self-control facet of Conscientiousness; Roberts et al., 2005), (c) gregariousness and assertiveness (which are two facets of Extraversion; Costa & McCrae, 1992), and (d) self-related qualities (e.g., positive self-appraisals, such as general self-efficacy). Thus, Mayer et al. (2008) appear to have suggested that mixed EI overlaps with Conscientiousness, Extraversion, and self-related qualities such as general self-efficacy. We will discuss each of these potential overlaps below. Before we do, we would like to point out that prior theoretical work on the construct of mixed EI is scant. As a result, when discussing the construct of mixed EI, we often discuss the measures of mixed EI rather than the construct (i.e., because it is not clear what the construct of mixed EI actually is, we tend— by necessity—to confound the construct with the measure; cf. Arthur & Villado, 2008). This is a natural result of a theoretically underdeveloped construct, and indeed in the current article, we attempt to help remedy this very issue by developing an understanding of which constructs are subsumed by mixed EI.

Conscientiousness and Mixed EI As previously mentioned, prior theoretical work suggests that mixed EI taps attributes like achievement-motivation and controlrelated qualities such as low impulsiveness (Mayer et al., 2008; Petrides & Furnham, 2001; Zeidner, Matthews, & Roberts, 2004), which fall into the personality domain of trait Conscientiousness. For example, Bar-On’s (1997) mixed EI model includes subfacets of self-actualization, or striving to achieve one’s personal goals, and impulse control, or effectively controlling one’s emotions— which are similar to the industriousness and self-control facets of Conscientiousness, respectively (Roberts et al., 2005). Similarly, Goleman’s mixed EI model (Wolff, 2006) includes initiative (i.e., “readiness to act on opportunities,” p. 3) and achievement (i.e., “striving to improve or meeting a standard of excellence,” p. 3), which theoretically overlap with Conscientiousness facets. In addition to the content overlap between Conscientiousness and mixed EI, a secondary reason that one might expect a positive relationship between the two constructs is because Conscientiousness has been characterized as a tendency to follow socially

prescribed norms (John & Srivastava, 1999), and this dutifulness in adhering to norms likely carries over into emotional roles as well. So conscientious individuals may exert extra effort in adhering to emotion-related norms (i.e., Conscientiousness gives rise to a motivational state that induces one to be meticulous in his or her task performance [Emmons, 1989], including emotional tasks such as perceiving one’s emotion, perceiving others’ emotion, displaying appropriate emotions, and so forth). We propose that emotional skills and abilities develop naturally as a result of increased effort in adhering to emotion-related norms (e.g., the more one exerts effort in displaying appropriate emotions, the better one becomes at doing so). Thus, we expected Conscientiousness to be positively related to mixed EI, which is supported by prior meta-analytic estimates indicating a strong relationship between Conscientiousness and mixed EI (␳ˆ ⫽ .38 in both Joseph & Newman, 2010b, and O’Boyle et al., 2011).

Extraversion and Mixed EI Extraversion, a dimension of the Big Five, includes two components: social vitality and social dominance (Helson & Kwan, 2000). Some have argued that the social vitality component reflects an underlying need or desire for social contact that often results in a greater number of social relationships for extraverted individuals (Hotard, McFatter, McWhirter, & Stegall, 1989). In the process of establishing an extravert’s expansive social network, he or she likely develops a set of emotion-related skills (e.g., the ability to display positive affect) that are used to build social bonds. Many of the emotion-related skills that are likely developed as a result of an extravert’s desire to form social relationships are dimensions of mixed EI, including relationship skills, social competence (Petrides & Furnham, 2001), interpersonal relationships, and happiness (Bar-On, 1997). Some mixed models of EI also explicitly include assertiveness (Bar-On, 1997; Petrides & Furnham, 2003), which directly reflects the social dominance facet of Extraversion (and the assertiveness facet of Extraversion in the revised NEO Personality Inventory [NEO–PI–R]; Costa & McCrae, 1992), reiterating the overlap between Extraversion and mixed EI due to common elements of both constructs. The strong empirical relationship between Extraversion and mixed EI has also been well documented (␳ˆ ⫽ .46, Joseph & Newman, 2010b; ␳ˆ ⫽ .49, O’Boyle et al., 2011), supporting the notion that mixed EI is positively related to Extraversion because (a) extraverts’ inclination to establish social bonds results in enhanced emotional and social skills and (b) the social dominance component of Extraversion explicitly overlaps with dimensions of mixed EI (e.g., assertiveness; Bar-On, 1997).

Self-Related Qualities and Mixed EI The third content area that Mayer et al. (2008) suggested is captured by mixed EI measures is self-related qualities. The idea that self-related qualities may account for the relationship between mixed EI and job performance has been similarly articulated by Newman, Joseph, and MacCann (2010), who theorized that mixed EI measures capture self-efficacy and self-assessments of past job performance. First, general/generalized self-efficacy represents one’s perception of his or her ability to cope with life challenges and task demands across a variety of different situations (e.g., Chen, Gully, & Eden, 2001; Judge, Locke, & Durham, 1997; Sherer et al., 1982). Self-consistency

theory suggests that individuals have a desire to behave in a way that is consistent with their own image (Korman, 1970). When considering emotional and social behavior, it is likely that individuals who have a desire to maintain a positive self-image (i.e., individuals with high general self-efficacy) have cultivated emotional and social skills that allow them to display appropriate social behaviors to maintain their self-image. We propose that these emotional and social skills are represented in the construct of mixed EI; for example, the display of appropriate social behaviors requires dimensions of mixed EI such as social responsibility (i.e., the ability to cooperate with others), empathy (i.e., the ability to understand and appreciate the feelings of others), and interpersonal relationships (i.e., the ability to establish and maintain relationships; Bar-On, 1997). Therefore, individuals high in general self-efficacy likely have high mixed EI in order to display social behaviors that are consistent with their self-views, whereas those low in general self-efficacy may shy away from social relationships because doing so is consistent with their self-views (and as a result, these individuals fail to develop emotional skills and abilities for maintaining social relationships). In addition, an examination of the content of mixed EI measures reveals overlap between the constructs of general self-efficacy and mixed EI, including the self-regard facet of Bar-On’s Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i; Bar-On, 1997), which represents the propensity to regard oneself as generally competent, and Goleman’s (1998) self-confidence dimension, which also represents one’s sense of self-worth (Wolff, 2006). Thus, we expected general self-efficacy to be positively related to mixed EI because mixed EI is one avenue through which an individual can maintain his or her self-image and because of the content overlap between general self-efficacy and mixed EI. Second, from looking at the content of mixed EI scales, it also appears that these mixed EI instruments tap into something akin to self-rated performance. Unfortunately, these mixed EI measures are largely proprietary (thus, the mixed EI items cannot be presented here in any way), or else a few example items might easily support the notion that mixed EI scales capture self-rated performance. These types of items are similar to the items “I feel I can produce a lot of good work,” “I perform well in teams,” “I have accomplished many things in the last year,” and “I have performed well under pressure” (although these are not actual items on any mixed EI measure, they are very similar). We note that these items (and their original counterparts present in actual mixed EI measures) are conceptually closer to self-ratings of general performance rather than self-ratings of job performance per se (e.g., a respondent may evaluate his or her performance as a member of a sports team when answering the item “I perform well in teams”). In the current article, we argue that self-ratings of job performance are a component of mixed EI because they are a key aspect of one’s perceptions of performance in general (e.g., perceived excellence in public speaking at work would likely lead to perceived strength in public speaking in any context). This is because: (a) self-ratings of general performance are likely estimated via a process where one’s broad perceptions of performance are formed as a mental average of his or her specific performance across various life domains, and (b) as a mental average of performance across all life domains, self-ratings of performance likely oversample from the work domain because work plays a central role in most individuals’ lives (e.g., Kreiner, Hollensbe, & Sheep, 2009; Wanberg, 2012). Therefore, we argue that self-perceptions of job performance are an indicator of the domain of self-perceived

SELF-REPORTED EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

general performance, and as such, we expect self-rated job performance to be positively related to mixed EI.

Ability EI and Mixed EI Beyond the conceptual overlaps between mixed EI and Conscientiousness/Extraversion/self-rated qualities that were proposed by Mayer et al. (2008), an additional variable that may add insight into the construct validity of mixed EI is ability EI itself. Although prior work has shown only a modest relationship between ability EI and mixed EI (␳ˆ ⫽ .26; Joseph & Newman, 2010b), this is likely due to the content breadth of mixed EI (i.e., emotional abilities only constitute a fraction of mixed EI content). Self-perception theory would suggest that one’s self-perceptions are inferred from one’s behavior (Bern, 1972), and given that mixed EI involves one’s selfperceptions of his or her emotional abilities, we would expect these self-perceptions to be drawn from one’s actual emotional abilities (i.e., ability EI, which includes behaviors such as emotion expression, voice inflection, and emotion-related gestures; Salovey & Mayer, 1990; see also, Brackett, Rivers, Shiffman, Lerner, & Salovey, 2006). It has been claimed in prior work that mixed EI includes selfperceived emotional abilities (Petrides & Furnham, 2001), and a perusal of items from the EQ-i (Bar-On, 1997), for example, shows that some of these items clearly reflect self-ascribed emotion regulation and emotion perception abilities. In particular, the emotional self-awareness and empathy facets of Bar-On’s EQ-i appear to address emotion perception ability and emotion understanding (two facets of ability EI; Salovey & Mayer, 1990), and the emotional awareness and emotional self-control facets of Goleman’s (1998) model appear to capture emotion perception ability and emotion regulation ability (also facets of ability EI; Salovey & Mayer, 1990). Therefore, it is likely that actual emotional ability (i.e., ability EI) is part of the content that is sampled within mixed EI measures.

Emotional Stability and Mixed EI Popular markers of Emotional Stability include low levels of trait negative affect (Gross, Sutton, & Ketelaar, 1998) and dampened emotional reactions to daily stressors (Marco & Suls, 1993; Suls, Green, & Hillis, 1998). These characteristics of emotionally stable individuals likely reflect an enhanced ability to manage emotions and use effective emotion regulation strategies (e.g., reappraisal; Gross & John, 2003). Therefore, we expected Emotional Stability to be positively related to mixed EI because Emotional Stability involves the use of emotion regulation skills that mixed EI comprises (e.g., stress tolerance; Bar-On, 1997). In addition, De Raad (2005) has conducted empirical analyses on the content validity of several mixed EI measures and shown that for six mixed EI measures, 42% of the items were classified by content experts as direct measures of Emotional Stability. This content validity evidence is consistent with the large meta-analytic relationship between Emotional Stability and mixed EI instruments (␳ˆ ⫽ .53, Joseph & Newman, 2010b; ␳ˆ ⫽ .54, O’Boyle et al., 2011), and the conceptual overlap between several facets of mixed EI scales and Emotional Stability (e.g., stress tolerance, BarOn, 1997; optimism, Goleman, 1998). Thus, it appears that part of the content “mix” in mixed EI measurement is the well-known concept of Emotional Stability.

301

Cognitive Ability and Mixed EI At this point, we note that any attempt by us to consider cognitive ability as a content domain that is captured in measures of mixed EI would be largely antithetical to the philosophy upon which many mixed EI measures were founded. That is, cognitive ability is explicitly excluded from most mixed models of EI. For example, Bar-On’s (1997) mixed model of EI is said to include “an array of noncognitive capabilities, competencies, and skills that influence one’s ability to succeed in coping with environmental demands and pressures” (italics added, p. 14). Interestingly, however, this very model also includes facets of apparent cognitive ability components such as problem solving and reality testing (Bar-On, 1997). In addition, cognitive ability is theorized to promote individual adaptability, primarily due to the additional information processing that is required in novel situations (LePine, Colquitt, & Erez, 2000). Because adaptability is a component of mixed EI (i.e., flexibility, or one’s ability to adapt to unfamiliar and dynamic circumstances; Bar-On, 1997), we expected cognitive ability to be related to mixed EI—that is, individuals high in cognitive ability can handle the additional information processing demands of unfamiliar situations. Because it appears that mixed models of EI may actually include cognitive ability components (i.e., some mixed models are theorized to include abilities as part of the mixture of constructs; Boyatzis, 2009; Mayer et al., 2008; Petrides & Furnham, 2001) and because mixed EI models involve adaptability, which is related to cognitive ability via improved information processing in novel situations (LePine et al., 2000), we expected to find empirical overlap between measures of general mental ability and measures of mixed EI. In sum, we have proposed that mixed EI measures have sampled from several well-established construct domains, including Conscientiousness, Extraversion, general self-efficacy, self-rated performance, ability EI, Emotional Stability, and cognitive ability. Because mixed EI measures appear to sample so heavily from these seven construct domains, we expected that individual variation in mixed EI will be largely accounted for by these seven components.

Why Are Mixed EI Instruments Related to Job Performance? Previous meta-analyses of mixed EI suggest a strong relationship between mixed EI and job performance (Joseph & Newman, 2010b; O’Boyle et al., 2011), with estimated criterion validities as strong as, or stronger than, any other personality trait. To illuminate why mixed EI has such a robust relationship with job performance, we demonstrate that the proposed content domains from which mixed EI measures are sampled (see previous section) are also related to job performance. In other words, mixed EI taps into a mix of constructs that have well-established relationships with job performance, which explains why mixed EI predicts job performance.

Why the Seven Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and Other Characteristics (KSAOs) Relate to Job Performance For example, Conscientiousness (a proposed construct domain from which mixed EI measures are sampled) has a known positive relationship with job performance (Barrick & Mount, 1991; Bar-

rick, Mount, & Judge, 2001; Hurtz & Donovan, 2000; a link theoretically due to Conscientious employees’ accomplishment striving, status striving [Barrick, Stewart, & Piotrowski, 2002] and goal setting [Barrick, Mount, & Strauss, 1993]). Similarly, evidence suggests Extraversion can have reasonable predictive validity for job performance, especially for success in management and sales jobs (Barrick & Mount, 1991; Vinchur, Schippmann, Switzer, & Roth, 1998; due in part to status striving; Barrick et al., 2002), and Emotional Stability also has an established positive relationship with job performance (Barrick & Mount, 1991; Barrick et al., 2001; Hurtz & Donovan, 2000; a relationship explained by the fact that Neurotic individuals exhibit poorer emotional coping skills; Connor-Smith & Flachsbart, 2007; Joseph & Newman, 2010b). Thus, these three Big Five variables help explain the relationship between mixed EI and job performance, because they are common antecedents to both constructs. In addition to these Big Five personality constructs, general self-efficacy is thought to predict work performance by way of motivation, goal-setting (Erez & Judge, 2001), and job engagement (Rich, LePine, & Crawford, 2010). In other words, individuals with high general self-efficacy should maintain both direction and persistence of effort toward the job at hand. Therefore, if mixed EI measures are sampled from the general self-efficacy domain, then self-efficacy should partly explain the mixed EI–job performance relationship. Further, because past performance is the best predictor of future performance (see meta-analysis by Sturman, Cheramie, & Cashen, 2005; as well as seminal discussions by Corballis, 1965; Humphreys, 1960; Jones, 1962; and Wernimont & Campbell, 1968), we propose that another key mechanism by which mixed EI scales predict job performance is that mixed EI measures ask respondents to report, in part, how well they have generally performed on projects in the past. Accordingly, we expect self-rated performance to be considered a common covariate of both mixed EI and supervisor-rated job performance.

Finally, cognitive ability appears to contribute to mixed EI measures, and it is a fundamental antecedent of job performance (Schmidt & Hunter, 1998), largely due to the tendency for high-ability employees to acquire job knowledge (Schmidt, Hunter, & Outerbridge, 1986). Moreover, ability EI has been theorized to relate to job performance via enhanced social interactions, advanced understanding of the emotional demands on the situation (O’Boyle et al., 2011), and increased attentional resources (because emotion regulation skill can slow cognitive resource depletion; Joseph & Newman, 2010b). The relationship between ability EI and job performance has been supported via meta-analytic evidence (Joseph & Newman, 2010b; O’Boyle et al., 2011), and thus, it appears that cognitive ability and ability EI are common antecedents to both mixed EI measures and job performance, aiding in the explanation of why mixed EI and job performance are strongly related.

Heterogeneous Domain Sampling Model In summary of our arguments, the various constructs tapped by self-report mixed EI measures (i.e., Conscientiousness, Extraversion, general self-efficacy, self-rated performance, ability EI, Emotional Stability, and cognitive ability) also appear to be antecedents of job performance. Therefore, these seven constructs should explain the relationship between mixed EI and job performance. One consequence of this state of affairs is that the incremental validity of mixed EI for predicting job performance should be quite limited once these constructs are controlled. In other words, we are advancing a theoretical model of the mixed EI–job performance relationship that we refer to as the heterogeneous domain sampling model (see Figure 1, Model A; Cronbach & Meehl, 1955; Nunnally, 1967). According to our hypothesized model, mixed EI measures will fail to account for incremental validity in job performance after we have controlled for Conscientiousness, Extraversion, general self-efficacy, self-rated performance, ability EI, Emotional Stability, and cognitive ability.

other words, we believe these seven KSAOs represent all the essential constructs that constitute the “mix” in mixed EI that is responsible for the large observed criterion-related validity of mixed EI. An expert reviewer pointed out that our hypothesized heterogeneous domain sampling model can be thought of as one model, in a set of alternative models, that can each explain why mixed EI relates to job performance. This set of alternative models includes (a) our heterogeneous domain sampling model (Figure 1, Model A), which is a no mediation model, in which mixed EI exhibits no incremental validity beyond the seven KSAOs, and there is no mediation of the KSAOs by mixed EI, (b) a partial mediation model, labeled the “incremental validity model” (Figure 2, Model B), in which mixed EI predicts job performance partly because it transmits the effects of the seven KSAOs and partly because mixed EI represents some additional content that relates to job performance beyond the seven KSAOs, and (c) a full mediation model (Figure 3, Model C), in which mixed EI fully captures all of the generative mechanisms by which the seven KSAOs relate to job performance. As stated previously, in the current study, we are hypothesizing the first model (Figure 1, Model A), which offers a simple heterogeneous domain sampling explanation for why mixed EI relates to job performance. We tested this model (Figure 1, Model A) by comparing it against the two alternative models suggested by the expert reviewer (cf. incremental validity [partial mediation] model [Figure 2, Model B], and full mediation model [Figure 3, Model C]). If our heterogeneous domain sampling model is accurate, then it implies that a combination of traits—Extraversion, Emotional Stability, Conscientiousness, general self-efficacy, self-rated performance, cognitive ability, and ability EI—together explain why mixed EI measures predict job performance so well. To expand upon this point, individuals who possess these traits should have motivational tendencies and goals characterized by high status

303

striving and accomplishment striving (i.e., Extraversion and Conscientiousness; Barrick et al., 2002), as well as elevated performance expectations (i.e., high self-rated performance and general self-efficacy). These individuals should further be equipped to attain these goals and motivational agendas via their heightened emotional coping skills, emotion regulation skills, and emotional understanding (low Neuroticism, Connor-Smith & Flachsbart, 2007; high Ability EI, Joseph & Newman, 2010b), as well as their ability to more quickly absorb job knowledge (cognitive ability; Schmidt et al., 1986). Mixed EI thus offers a high-utility mixture of individual traits to predict job performance.

Defining Job Performance Before we move on to describe the methods used in the current study, we first briefly expound on our definition of the criterion, job performance. Indeed, past discrepancies in criterion definition have led to some inconsistency in prior meta-analytic estimates of the relationship between mixed EI and job performance (i.e., ␳ˆ ⫽ .47, Joseph & Newman, 2010b; ␳ˆ ⫽ .28, O’Boyle et al., 2011). That is, in past meta-analyses, O’Boyle and colleagues used an inclusive definition of job performance that incorporated both subjective ratings and objective results performance measures (in addition to student academic performance and self-rated job performance measures), whereas Joseph and Newman used a narrower definition of the criterion to include only supervisor-rated job performance (see Table 1). As such, it remains unclear how the mixed EI-job performance relationship might change across different criterion measures. With regard to the distinction between subjective ratings versus objective results measures (e.g., sales, number of widgets produced) of the criterion, researchers have long lamented that objective measures of performance tend to be contaminated by factors external to

the individual (e.g., sales markets, sick leave policies, and equipment malfunctions; Campbell, 1990; Landy & Farr, 1983; Murphy & Cleveland, 1995; Smith, 1976), suggesting that objective results measures reflect both employee performance behavior and environmental factors that constitute a psychometric nuisance. We here have adopted Campbell, McCloy, Oppler, and Sager’s (1993) definition of job performance as employee behavior, and we focused on supervisor ratings of performance as our primary measure of job performance behavior (see J. W. Johnson, 2001; Rotundo & Sackett, 2002). For our own theoretical view on how subjective performance ratings and objective criterion measures, respectively, relate to mixed EI, we have borrowed from Aguinis (2013, p. 95) and Grote (1996, p. 37), who specified that employee KSAOs/traits (e.g., mixed EI) give rise to employee job performance behaviors, which in turn give rise to objective results measures of productivity (i.e., a mediation model). As such, we propose that the effects of mixed EI on results (e.g., sales, productivity) are downstream from (and explained by) the effects of mixed EI on rated employee performance behaviors. Therefore, we predicted that the effect of mixed EI on objective results criteria is mediated by supervisor ratings of job performance. Unfortunately, there is a paucity of available primary studies connecting objective results to several of the KSAOs, which precludes us from testing the complete multistep mediation model (KSAOs ¡ Mixed EI ¡ Subjective job performance ¡ Objective results). Therefore, we can only test the final three steps of this mediation sequence in the current study (i.e., Mixed EI ¡ Subjective job performance ¡ Objective results; see Figure 4).

Method To test our hypothesized models, we first updated the correlations of both mixed EI and ability EI with job performance. Table 1 lists the primary studies that were originally coded in the meta-analyses of Joseph and Newman (2010b) and O’Boyle et al. (2011), as well as the primary studies uniquely included in

the current analysis. We also conducted 16 original metaanalyses, estimating the bivariate relationships of both general self-efficacy and self-rated job performance with mixed EI, ability EI, Emotional Stability, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, and cognitive ability (shown in Table 2). Then, by combining published meta-analyses with our original meta-analyses, we formed a meta-analytic correlation matrix (Table 3). We used this meta-analytic correlation matrix as the basis for a series of structural models to test (a) the amount of variance in mixed EI measures captured by a set of seven predictors and (b) the effect of these predictors on the mixed EI–job performance relationship (see Figures 1, 2, and 3). Although some scholars have advocated the combination of meta-analysis with structural equation modeling (Shadish, 1996; Viswesvaran & Ones, 1995), others have pointed out potential limitations of the approach because this process (a) uses a pooled correlation matrix instead of a covariance matrix, (b) lacks a definitive sample size for the meta-analytic correlation matrix, (c) assumes the elements in the meta-analytic correlation matrix represent a common population, and (d) ignores second-order sampling error (see Cheung & Chan, 2005; Landis, 2013; Newman, Jacobs, & Bartram, 2007). Unfortunately, the only alternative procedure for testing a structural model with metaanalytic data (i.e., two-stage structural equation modeling, or TSSEM; Cheung & Chan, 2005) requires at least one primary study to measure all of the constructs included in the model, and because no primary study in the current meta-analytic database met this requirement, we instead used meta-analytic SEM. In doing so, we followed Landis’s (2013) set of recommendations (i.e., we drew the elements in the matrix that were not estimated as part of the current study from published meta-analyses rather than conducting mini-meta-analyses, and we warn the reader that causal inferences cannot be drawn from these analyses).

lation to which the correlation matrix corresponds—this appears to be a ubiquitous limitation that plagues the vast majority of studies in organizational research and is not unique to meta-analytic SEM.

Literature Search In order to estimate the structural models, we compiled a correlation matrix based on meta-analytic estimates from 20 published meta-analytic correlations plus 16 original meta-analyses. If multiple meta-analyses had been published on a particular bivariate relationship, we used the most recent (which was also the most comprehensive) one. The 16 original meta-analyses included updates of the relationships of both mixed EI and ability EI with supervisor-rated job performance, as well as the relationships of both general self-efficacy and self-rated job performance with cognitive ability, personality traits, and EI. Several strategies were used to locate primary studies included in the original metaanalyses. First, we conducted a literature search in the databases PsycINFO, ERIC, Social Science Citation Index, Google Scholar, and Dissertation Abstracts International for published and unpublished studies, using combinations and variations of the following keywords: emotional intelligence, cognitive ability, self-efficacy, and self-rated job performance. Second, we also cross-checked

reference lists from previous meta-analyses and reviews on similar topics as well as studies that cited the original scale development articles for general/generalized self-efficacy (Chen et al., 2001; Judge, Erez, Bono, & Thoresen, 2002; Judge, Locke, Durham, & Kluger, 1998; Schwarzer, Bassler, Kwiatek, Schröder, & Zhang, 1997; Sherer et al., 1982). In accordance with our a priori construct definitions and research interests, several rules were established for the inclusion of primary studies. First, the analysis was limited to adult participants (ages 16 –70 years, excluding young adolescents and institutionalized populations). Second, any studies that did not operationalize general self-efficacy in a manner consistent with the definition of general self-efficacy from Sherer et al. (1982), as a trait-like construct that represents global mastery expectancies, were excluded (e.g., measures of task-specific or state self-efficacy were excluded, mimicking the procedures of Judge & Bono, 2001). Composite measures of confidence in performing tasks across several, specific domains (e.g., Bernard, Hutchison, Lavin, & Pennington, 1996), or self-efficacy measures that were specific to a particular setting (e.g., Jones, 1986) were also excluded. In addition, measures that claimed to assess general self-efficacy but appeared to represent another construct (e.g., the personal mastery measure from Pearlin &

Schooler, 1978) were also excluded. The only exception to this inclusion rule was in regard to self-efficacy’s correlation with ability EI. Because there were no general self-efficacy primary studies available to estimate this effect, we used primary studies of specific self-efficacy for this particular cell in the correlation matrix. Third, with regard to job performance measures, we invoked a set of conservative standards: (a) only the job performance of employed individuals was included; performance of specific cognitive or noncognitive tasks, lab experiments, assessment center ratings, and training performance were excluded; (b) student academic performance and grade point averages (GPAs) were excluded; (c) studies measuring only contextual performance or organizational citizenship behavior were excluded; and (d) studies that provided objective measures or third-party evaluations of job performance were excluded because, to be consistent with other meta-analyses in our correlation matrix, we were only interested in supervisor ratings of job performance. Primary studies of self-rated job performance were selected according to the same inclusion rules, with one exception. In order to obtain an adequate sample size for the relationships between personality/cognitive ability and selfrated job performance, we chose to include two studies (Oswald, Schmitt, Kim, Ramsay, & Gillespie, 2004; Schmitt et al., 2007) that used behaviorally anchored rating scales across 12 dimensions of college performance (these studies were included in effect size estimates for the relationships between personality/cognitive ability and self-rated performance). Results with and without these two studies were very similar; removing these studies did not change the relationships by more than .03. Fourth, any performance-based (e.g., multiple-choice/right– wrong) measure of EI based on Salovey and Mayer’s (1990) ability model was coded as ability EI, and all self-report measures of EI (excluding self-report measures of ability EI; e.g., Wong & Law, 2002) were coded as measures of mixed EI. (Note: We classified the Schutte et al. [1998] measure of EI as a self-report mixed EI measure; although the original measure is purportedly based on Salovey and Mayer’s [1990] model, the dimensions of this self-report scale— empathy, self-management of emotions, utilization of emotions, and management of others’ emotions [Chan, 2003]— do not align with the dimensions of Salovey and Mayer’s ability EI model, and the items on the scale appear to capture content much broader than ability EI [e.g., the item “I expect that I will do well on most things I try” appears to measure general self-efficacy]). Fifth, studies that used student GPA or ACT scores to represent cognitive ability were excluded. We also deleted studies that did not measure Emotional Stability directly but instead measured a related trait such as the Sensitivity facet from the California Personality Inventory (e.g., Baker, 2007) or negative affectivity. Finally, studies that did not provide enough information to calculate the hypothesized correlations or did not provide sample sizes were excluded. All primary studies that were identified as part of the original search, but subsequently excluded for any of the above reasons, are listed in Appendix A.

Data Analysis Following Hunter and Schmidt (2004), we calculated samplesize-weighted mean correlations, with all effect sizes corrected for unreliability in both the predictor and criterion. For longitudinal

studies that contained multiple measurements, only the effect size from the initial measure was kept. For a sample with multiple, facet-level effect sizes of one relationship, we computed a composite correlation according to the formula provided by Nunnally (1978), or if inadequate information was available to calculate a composite, we calculated a simple average. In cases where no reliability information was provided, we adopted estimates from Viswesvaran and Ones (2000, p. 231) for reliability of Big Five personality or imputed the average reliability from all available studies (Hunter & Schmidt, 2004) for non–Big Five measures. For estimating the reliability of single-item measures of job performance, we followed previous approaches (McKay & McDaniel, 2006; Roth, Huffcutt, & Bobko, 2003) using the Spearman–Brown formula to downwardly correct the average reliability reported across other primary studies. Following Hunter and Schmidt (2004), when the standard deviation of the population estimates (␳) was smaller than zero, we used zero instead. Also, to maintain consistency with other job performance meta-analyses in Table 3, we based range restriction corrections for the relationships between ability EI/mixed EI and supervisor-rated job performance upon average ratios of restricted to unrestricted standard deviations (i.e., .95 for mixed EI and .99 for ability EI, which suggest range restriction was very minor for the studies included in the current EI meta-analyses). Duval and Tweedie (2000) trim-and-fill publication bias analyses were also conducted (no bias was found; results are available upon request). Based upon the meta-analytic correlation matrix in Table 3, we then conducted multiple regression analyses, with mixed EI as the dependent variable, to test the extent to which mixed EI measures are sampling the content domains of Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Emotional Stability, ability EI, cognitive ability, and selfrated qualities. (We also included ability EI as a second dependent variable, in response to a reviewer comment.) We also conducted relative importance analyses (J. W. Johnson, 2000; J. W. Johnson & LeBreton, 2004) to determine which constructs (e.g., Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Emotional Stability, ability EI, cognitive ability, general self-efficacy, or self-rated job performance) contributed the most variance to mixed EI. Next, we estimated three structural equation models to test the effects of the KSAOs (common covariates) of mixed EI and job performance (see Figures 1, 2, and 3; note that Figure 2, Model B, is mathematically equivalent to estimating two multiple regression models in this case). Model A is our hypothesized heterogeneous domain sampling model (no-mediation model; Figure 1, Model A), which specifies no path from mixed EI to supervisor ratings of job performance. Model B is a fully saturated model (partialmediation model; Figure 2, Model B) in which Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Emotional Stability, ability EI, cognitive ability, and self-rated qualities predict mixed EI and supervisor ratings of job performance, and mixed EI also incrementally predicts job performance. Model C is a fully-mediated model (Figure 3, Model C) that is similar to Model B, except the direct effects of all seven KSAOs are removed so that mixed EI transmits all the KSAO effects onto supervisor ratings of job performance. Finally, the fourth model estimates a mediation model from mixed EI to supervisor ratings of job performance, which in turn lead to objective results criteria (Figure 4).

309 Results

Results of the original meta-analyses conducted in the current study are presented in Table 2 (primary studies included in these original meta-analyses are presented in Table 4). Regarding the relationship between mixed EI and job performance, several major adjustments were made to improve upon the statistical validity and construct validity of previous meta-analyses. In particular, seven primary studies were added beyond Joseph and Newman’s (2010b) meta-analysis, 11 primary studies were added beyond O’Boyle et al.’s (2011) metaanalysis, and 24 primary studies were removed from O’Boyle et al.’s (2011) analysis (see list of primary studies in Table 1). This update and refinement resulted in a corrected mean mixed EI-job performance correlation of .29, which is considerably smaller than what Joseph and Newman (2010b) reported (␳ˆ ⫽ .47), and closer to the estimate reported by O’Boyle et al. (2011; ␳ˆ ⫽ .28). The relationship between ability EI and job performance was also updated, with a mean corrected correlation of .20. This is larger than the estimate from Joseph and Newman (2010b; ␳ˆ ⫽ .18) but smaller than the O’Boyle et al. (2011) estimate (␳ˆ ⫽ .24). The estimated population correlation between general self-efficacy and job performance was only .13, which is smaller than that reported in a previous meta-analysis (Judge & Bono, 2001, ␳ˆ ⫽ .23), although this newer estimate is based on more than twice as much data. For self-rated job performance, there was a high correlation with general self-efficacy (␳ˆ ⫽ .51) and mixed EI (␳ˆ ⫽ .41), but near-zero relationships with both cognitive ability (␳ˆ ⫽ .04) and ability EI (␳ˆ ⫽ .004). With regard to general self-efficacy, results showed that it is highly correlated with all three personality traits: ␳ˆ ⫽ .56 with Emotional Stability, ␳ˆ ⫽ .54 with Conscientiousness, and ␳ˆ ⫽ .51 with Extraversion, and it strongly relates to mixed EI (␳ˆ ⫽ .45), whereas it has only a small relationship with cognitive ability (␳ˆ ⫽ .09). After combining the original meta-analyses we have described above with the 20 previously published meta-analyses, we created the final meta-analytic correlation matrix, which we present in Table 3. On the basis of this correlation matrix, we estimated the multiple regression models presented in Table 5. Results indicate 62% of the variance in mixed EI is captured by Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Emotional Stability, ability EI, cognitive ability, general self-efficacy, and self-rated job performance, suggesting that a majority of the mix in mixed EI covers content from well-established psychological concepts (in contrast, only 23% of the variance in ability EI is captured by these constructs). As an aside, we note that general self-efficacy has a strong negative regression coefficient for mixed EI (and for job performance, as we show later), due to a suppression effect (Cohen, Cohen, West, & Aiken, 2003; Tzelgov & Henik, 1991) coming from high multicollinearity of general self-efficacy with the three Big Five factors and self-rated job performance. Results from the relative importance analysis, which partitions R2 and assigns percentages of R2 contributed by each predictor (displayed in Table 6), indicate that the most important predictors of mixed EI, in order, are Emotional Stability (29.5%), Extraversion (26.5%), Conscientiousness (16.1%), self-rated performance (14.2%), general selfefficacy (6.8%), and ability EI (5.5%). Thus, the answer to our research question—What proportion of the variance in mixed EI is accounted for by Conscientiousness, Extraversion, general selfefficacy, self-rated job performance, ability EI, Emotional stability,

Next, we estimated the models in Figures 1, 2, and 3. The sample size for these models was set at 2,168, which is the sample size for the mixed EI–job performance bivariate relationship. When no common covariates were taken into consideration, there was a statistically significant direct effect (␤ ⫽ .29; standardized coefficient) from mixed EI to job performance (i.e., the bivariate correlation). When the theorized antecedents (ability EI, Emotional Stability, cognitive ability, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, general self-efficacy, and self-rated job performance) were specified as common covariates of both mixed EI and job performance (Figure 2, Model B), the mixed EI effect on job performance dropped from ␤ ⫽ .29 to near zero (␤ ⫽ –.02, ns). Indeed, our hypothesized model, which specified no incremental validity for mixed EI in the presence of the seven KSAOs (i.e., the heterogeneous domain sampling model; Figure 1, Model A), displayed nearly perfect model fit indices [␹2(df ⫽ 1) ⫽ 0.19 (p ⬎ .05), RMSEA ⫽ .00, CFI ⫽ 1.00, TLI ⫽ 1.01, SRMR ⫽ .001].

Consistent with these results, the full mediation model (Figure 3, Model C) yielded poor model fit [␹2(df ⫽ 7) ⫽ 232.84 (p ⬍ .05), RMSEA ⫽ .22, CFI ⫽ .88, TLI ⫽ .37, SRMR ⫽ .07]. Note that Model B is saturated (df ⫽ 0), and thus, the fit indices are meaningless (all fit indices take their maximum values, by design). Finally, a meta-analysis of the relationship between mixed EI and objective results measures of performance was conducted (see Appendix B), in order to compare the bivariate mixed EI-performance relationship across different criteria (i.e., supervisor ratings of performance vs. objective results criteria). The meta-analytic relationship between mixed EI and objective results performance measures was ␳ˆ ⫽ .17 (k ⫽ 11, N ⫽ 1,846), which is smaller than the estimated relationship between mixed EI and subjective supervisor ratings of job performance (␳ˆ ⫽ .29, k ⫽ 15, N ⫽ 2,168). This finding was consistent with our theoretical expectation that mixed EI (as an employee KSAO/trait) would affect objective/results performance by way of supervisor-rated job performance behavior (see Figure 4). To test this assertion, we entered the previously described meta-analytic correlations into a mediation model (for the correlation between objective results and subjective performance ratings, we used Bommer, Johnson, Rich, Podsakoff, & MacKenzie’s [1995] meta-analytic estimate of ␳ˆ ⫽ .39). The practical fit of this mediation model [␹2(df ⫽ 1) ⫽ 7.69 (p ⬍ .05), N ⫽ 1,846, RMSEA ⫽ .060, CFI ⫽ .99, TLI ⫽ .96, SRMR ⫽ .02] was deemed adequate, and the indirect effect of mixed EI on objective results performance was statistically significant (95% Monte Carlo confidence interval [.09, .13]; Preacher & Selig, 2012; see Figure 2). If we had additionally estimated the direct effect from mixed EI to objective results performance (df ⫽ 0; saturated model), the direct path coefficient would have been small (␤ ⫽ .06; p ⬍ .05), and the path from supervisor-rated job performance to objective results would have fallen a negligible amount, from ␤ ⫽ .39 to ␤ ⫽ .37. Altogether, these results support our assertion that mixed EI primarily relates to objective results criteria by way of its relationship with supervisorrated job performance (Figure 4).

Discussion The link between emotional intelligence and work outcomes such as job performance has been an area of major controversy (Cherniss, 2010; Murphy, 2006). Despite ever-growing attention from both the public and academia, and despite the well-known hyperclaims regarding the criterion-related validity of mixed EI in predicting workplace success (e.g., Goleman, 1995), it has heretofore been unclear what mixed EI instruments measure, and why these instruments predict job performance so well. The current study contributed to the existing literature in two ways. First, we opened the black box of mixed EI construct validity by examining the extent to which mixed EI measures capture content from the following constructs: Conscientiousness, Extraversion, general self-efficacy, self-rated performance, ability EI, Emotional Stability, and cognitive ability. Results demonstrate that a majority of the variance in mixed EI measures is captured by these constructs (i.e., 62%; multiple R ⫽ .79), suggesting these measures tend to sample content from various well-established construct domains in psychology. Second, based on a combination of original and published metaanalytic results, we estimated the extent to which mixed EI demonstrates incremental validity over the seven well-established constructs (Figure 1) in hopes of answering the question, “Why does mixed EI strongly predict job performance?” Our results indicated that after controlling for these constructs, the relationship between mixed EI and job performance dropped to near zero (␤ ⫽ ⫺.02; ns). Based upon these findings, the current study offers the unique insight that the predictive merit of mixed EI can be almost fully explained after one considers ability EI, self-perceptions (i.e., general self-efficacy and self-rated job performance), personality, and cognitive ability. This result differs from the results of previous analyses (Joseph & Newman, 2010b; O’Boyle et al., 2011), which demonstrated sizeable incremental validity for mixed EI beyond the Big Five and cognitive ability but which did not control for self-perceptions or for ability EI. En route to the previously stated result (i.e., answering why mixed EI predicts job performance), we also updated the meta-analytic correlation of mixed EI with job performance by including more studies than previous meta-analyses and by applying a strict operational definition of job performance that focused only on supervisor ratings of performance. Our result (␳ˆ ⫽ .29) was notably smaller than the .47 estimate reported by Joseph and Newman (2010b) but quite similar to the effect size (␳ˆ ⫽ .28) reported by O’Boyle et al. (2011). However, we note that O’Boyle et al. (2011) had defined job performance very broadly, to include academic performance, sports performance, self-rated performance, work adjustment, and other criterion content (see Table 1). Thus, although the current effect size is similar, the construct relationship being estimated here is quite different from that of O’Boyle et al.

Theoretical Implications We now have a theoretical explanation for why mixed EI predicts job performance—and it turns out to be largely a psychometric explanation. Mixed EI measures reflect a heterogeneous combination of traits that have long been known to predict job performance. That is, mixed EI measures appear to have been developed (perhaps unintentionally) through a process of heterogeneous domain sampling from seven well-established content domains. One implication of the heterogeneous domain sampling model of mixed EI is that mixed EI researchers can now borrow substan-

tive theory from the constituent constructs of mixed EI. To elaborate, because we now know what mixed EI is, we can use theory from the nomological networks of the seven constituent construct domains to explain additional outcomes of mixed EI beyond job performance. For example, the large portion of Emotional Stability, Extroversion, and Conscientiousness content in mixed EI could help explain why mixed EI would be a robust predictor of job satisfaction (see Judge, Heller, & Mount, 2002) and leadership (Harms & Credé, 2010; Judge, Bono, Ilies, & Gerhardt, 2002). Another theoretical implication raised by our study involves the standards for construct validity itself and the general question of whether heterogeneous domain sampling should be considered a legitimate method for establishing “new” constructs. On the one hand, some critics might raise the objection that discriminant validity is a cornerstone of construct validity (Campbell & Fiske, 1959), and heterogeneous domain sampling prevents discriminant validity, by definition (i.e., if mixed EI directly reflects its constituent constructs, then it cannot be considered distinct from them). As one example of this, heterogeneous domain sampling might help explain why the discriminant validity of EI ratings from Big Five personality domains is sometimes weak (see multitrait–multimethod evidence from Joseph & Newman, 2010a)— because EI ratings explicitly contain some Big Five content. On the other hand, proponents of heterogeneous domain sampling might contend that creating novel composites of established constructs is itself a meaningful contribution. Macey and Schneider (2008) made this sort of argument when they characterized the employee engagement construct as, “a new blend of old wines” (p. 10), despite the fact that employee engagement was rather clearly developed via heterogeneous domain sampling by borrowing content from job satisfaction, organizational commitment, job involvement, and job affect (Newman & Harrison, 2008; Newman, Joseph, & Hulin, 2010). The question of whether heterogeneous domain sampling can be considered a legitimate new method for scale development is a major theoretical conundrum that emerges from the current article, but this question is, as yet, unanswered. As an aside, we note that proprietary measurement—which is a useful way to protect intellectual property and recoup the costs of measurement research and development—is nonetheless a barrier to scientific progress here, because proprietary measurement hides the survey items and thereby can hide the fact that a measure was derived via heterogeneous domain sampling. This practice gives short shrift to the long-established constituent constructs, which are the predictive workhorses in newer compound concepts like mixed EI but which are forced into anonymity by measurement copyrights. Finally, another natural consequence of the heterogeneous domain sampling model is the need to ensure more valid construct labeling. For mixed EI, the question is whether this composite construct should really be called “emotional intelligence,” or even “emotional competence” (cf. Cherniss, 2010). Although we do not feel authorized to supplant the widely adopted “emotional intelligence” label, the implication of the current study for conceptual construct labeling is that mixed EI measures reflect mixed competence traits (i.e., “mixed EI” describes individuals who are emotionally stable, outgoing, conscientious, with a high estimation of their own past and future performance, and [to a lesser extent] emotionally intelligent).

Limitations and Future Research The current research is also vulnerable to certain limitations, which leaves room for additional corresponding future research. One particular Big Five trait that deserves further discussion here is Agreeableness. Ample research evidence has supported the overlap between Agreeableness and mixed EI (e.g., De Raad, 2005; Joseph & Newman, 2010b; Petrides & Furnham, 2001); however, we did not include Agreeableness in our model (Figures 1, 2, and 3), primarily because this is a model of the theorized common causes of mixed EI and job performance. Agreeableness has a negligible relationship with job performance (Barrick & Mount, 1991), and it has been noted that qualities such as empathy and interpersonal sensitivity might even impair job performance when the work situation demands ruthlessness and toughness (Zeidner et al., 2004). However, we recommend that future researchers who investigate the links between mixed EI and contextual performance (Ilies, Fulmer, Spitzmuller, & Johnson, 2009), counterproductive work behavior (Berry, Ones, & Sackett, 2007), or team performance (Bell, 2007) consider the role of Agreeableness as a common cause. We should also note that whereas the current study controlled for some broad Big Five traits (e.g., Extraversion, Conscientiousness), Mayer et al. (2008) specifically described mixed EI content in terms of narrower facets of these traits (e.g., gregariousness, assertiveness, impulse control). Future researchers should attend to whether these particular personality subfacets can more parsimoniously explain the mixed EI–job performance relationship. As suggested by some researchers (Cherniss, 2010; Jordan, Dasborough, Daus, & Ashkanasy, 2010), future studies could also explore the influence of the work context on EI. Depending on the type of job, specific situation, or various kinds of people involved, different profiles inside the mixed EI “grab bag” may potentially have different effects. As a meta-analysis, the current study only speaks to average effects that were obtained across jobs. It is also worth noting that whereas the current study focused on how mixed EI appears to demonstrate a lack of incremental validity after controlling for a linear combination of personality, self-perceptions, ability EI, and cognitive ability; some proponents of mixed EI might argue that mixed EI is actually a profile of various psychological constructs, rather than a simple linear combination, and this profile could demonstrate incremental validity in predicting job performance. Although this may be the case, the current study focused on how mixed EI is currently measured (i.e., as a linear combination), and additional research would be necessary to investigate the issue of mixed EI profiles. As another issue, we mention that EI need not have uniformly positive effects. There could also be a dark side of EI, in which emotionally intelligent individuals are capable of deviant behavior when motivated (Côté, DeCelles, McCarthy, Van Kleef, & Hideg, 2011; Kilduff, Chiaburu, & Menges, 2010). As one final direction for future research, we note that the relationship between mixed EI and job performance may vary across dimensions of mixed EI. Based on a reviewer’s suggestion, we metaanalyzed the relationships of mixed EI facets with both job performance and the covariates shown in Figure 1 (see Appendix C; note that no primary study correlations were available between general self-efficacy and mixed EI facets, therefore specific self-efficacy was used as a substitute here). Although we could only estimate our structural models using the facets of Bar-On’s EQ-i (due to a lack of

317

facet-level data for other mixed EI measures; e.g., see Tables A and B), Table C shows that the covariates explain between 35% and 56% of the variance in each mixed EI facet; and Table C2 demonstrates that after including the covariates, no mixed EI facet retains positive incremental validity for job performance (although some EI facets exhibit incremental validity with a negative regression coefficient, due to suppressor effects). In essence, these facet-level examinations largely replicate the results found for overall mixed EI: the covariates explain much of the mixed EI variance (helping to answer the question of what mixed EI is), and the covariates also explain the relationship between mixed EI and job performance (helping to answer the question of why mixed EI predicts job performance; although we caution these EI facet-level results are based on a relatively small amount of data).

Practical Implications In addition to the currently proposed theoretical enhancement to our understanding of the mixed EI construct (i.e., our new explanation for what mixed EI is and why mixed EI predicts job performance), the findings of the current article have several practical implications. First, our findings reiterate previous meta-analytic conclusions that suggested mixed EI predicts supervisor ratings of job performance rather well—at least as strongly as any other personality construct (Joseph & Newman, 2010b; O’Boyle et al., 2011; cf. Barrick et al., 2001). Thus, for practitioners who have little concern about the overlap between mixed EI and other, well-established psychological constructs, these results suggest that mixed EI measures may be used as part of a selection system because they tap into a diffuse, compound construct of personality and self-perceptions that exhibits reasonable criterion-related validity. This conclusion is markedly different from Joseph and Newman’s (2010b) admonition to, “exercise extreme caution when using mixed EI measures” because it was “not clear why” mixed EI predicts job performance (p. 72). In other words, despite the fact that mixed EI does not appear to increase scientific parsimony in the construct space of the organizational sciences, the current meta-analytic results suggest that practitioners could use a single mixed EI measure to capture a portion of the criterion-related validity that could otherwise be captured by using a battery of seven KSAOs. However, we note that the criterion-related validity of mixed EI (r2 ⫽ .292 ⫽ .08) falls notably short of the criterion-related validity for the composite of seven KSAOs (R2 ⫽ 39; see Table 5)—revealing that although mixed EI offers no incremental prediction beyond the seven KSAOs, the seven KSAOs do offer considerable incremental prediction beyond mixed EI. As such, and given that the majority of mixed EI measures are proprietary and require fees to administer, practitioners will likely be faced with a choice between a shorter, more expensive mixed EI measure with lower criterion-related validity versus a much longer battery of personality, cognitive ability, and self-concept measures with notably higher criterion-related validity. Managing this tradeoff will depend upon practitioners’ judgments about applicants’ time, willingness, and capability to complete a lengthy battery of seven KSAOs. Another practical implication of the current article is that it illustrates a difficult decision practitioners must make once they have determined they want to assess EI. Practitioners must choose between ability EI measures, which show a weaker relationship with job performance but more precisely capture the notion of EI as an intelligence (MacCann et al., 2014), versus mixed

EI measures, which show a stronger relationship with job performance but broadly measure many constructs in addition to emotional competencies.

Conclusion The current study attempted to help unravel the mix of what mixed EI actually is. According to current results, the active ingredients in mixed EI—which make it one of the strongest known personality-based predictors of job performance—include Conscientiousness, self-efficacy, self-rated performance, and Extraversion (confirming the conjectures of Mayer et al., 2008, and Newman et al., 2010), in addition to ability EI, Emotional Stability, and cognitive ability. These results illustrate that developers of mixed EI measures may have engaged in heterogeneous domain sampling (Cronbach & Meehl, 1955; Ghiselli et al., 1981; Nunnally, 1967), whereby mixed EI measures were constructed to sample from various well-known psychological content domains. Armed with new knowledge of which psychological fundaments constitute mixed EI measures, the current article aids in the process of establishing the construct validity of mixed EI. In answer to the work that questioned whether mixed EI measures should be used in personnel selection because it was not clear why mixed EI predicted job performance (Joseph & Newman, 2010b), the current results suggest that practitioners might be using measures of mixed EI as a practical, shorthand alternative to a lengthy battery of several more traditional KSAOs.

Note. rxx refers to reliability of the predictor. ryy refers to reliability of the criterion. When reliability information was not available in the primary study, the average reliability of all available measures included in the original meta-analyses was substituted. Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, and Relationship Management are dimensions of the Emotional Competence Inventory/Emotional and Social Competence Inventory. Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, Adaptability, Stress Management, and General Mood are dimensions of the Emotional Quotient Inventory.
