Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

During a pandemic, a multitude of changes occur in different areas of life. These changes, seek sustainability for people in response to new demands on the way we react require new coping skills to be developed or strategies we already had to be perfected. Just as in a more personal environment, at school or work, this response must be adjusted to the new social scenarios and challenges.

This Special Issue intends to approach the different ways in which emotional intelligence is involved in individual adaptation to these new demands, whether positive, as a protective factor, or the consequences of the pandemic on emotional health, and thereby, on academic/job performance. In either case, an integrative analysis with relevant data for new theoretical models and/or the design of effective intervention is expected.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. High-quality original research or reviews/meta-analyses that make significant contributions to widening current knowledge on the subject are welcome for this Special Issue. Research areas may include the following: emotional intelligence, emotions, health, motivation, stress and anxiety, burnout, social emotions, emotional education, engagement, performance, distress, risky behavior, social sustainability, people's sustainability, etc.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

The COVID-19 crisis has brought about massive and sudden changes in the way people work and has created new emotional strains on workers. For this reason, being an emotional business leader is necessary for an organization’s survival and employees’ well-being. This qualitative study aims: (1) to explore the quality of emotions expressed by business leaders during the COVID-19 crisis, (2) to go into detail on how business leaders managed their own emotions, and (3) to investigate how they managed emotions shown by employees in their company. We interviewed 38 business leaders from 11 Italian companies. The main emotion reported by the leaders we interviewed was anxiety, caused in part by the development of the pandemic and related to uncertainty about the future. Results also showed that some leaders considered emotions as a secondary matter, or something to overcome for the good of their role. Other leaders showed a higher level of emotional intelligence and were able to empathize with their followers, communicate their vision and feelings, and create positive and constructive relationships. The theoretical and practical implications of these results are also discussed. Full article

The outbreak of the global pandemic derived from COVID-19 in early 2020 has represented a huge loss of social contact for most young people. The extent of these effects is still unknown, so it is necessary to ask what the effect of this new, unforeseen, and prolonged situation on the management of emotional intelligence in university students is. This study aims to compare the academic performance, test anxiety (before and during the online exams), and emotional intelligence of 91 students in a university Master’s degree program after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The emotional intelligence was measured by the TMMS-24, the academic performance was compiled in common subjects, and test anxiety was measured by self-assessment just after finishing each online exam. The comparisons between the variables were made through means difference contrasts using Mann–Whitney U, Kruskal–Wallis, and One-way ANOVA and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient as a non-parametric test for correlational analysis. The results show that the COVID-19 pandemic has not modified how these three variables are related, so it can be concluded that the prolonged social isolation suffered by young people has not had negative repercussions on their emotional intelligence, anxiety before exams, and academic performance.
