Abstract
The success of any school depends among others on the social capital including teachers, students, parents and
other stakeholders who support the business of imparting knowledge. Satisfied and committed teachers impacts
both on individual student performance and general academic standards of the school. The study explored job
satisfaction among primary school teachers in relation to certain demographic variables. The objective of this
study was therefore to examine the influence of demographic factors on job satisfaction of teachers in public
primary schools in Bomet County, Kenya. This was done by conducting a survey using a self-administered
questionnaire. A total of 848 teachers in 129 primary schools participated in the study. Descriptive and
Inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The overall finding was that teachers were ambivalent on job
satisfaction, meaning that they were not sure whether they are satisfied with their jobs. However, teachers were
satisfied with their colleague co-teachers and happy when assigned administrative duties. Teachers were more
satisfied when authority is delegated to them. It is evident that school leadership need to improve on in ways of
supervision, systems of reward, ways of communication and working conditions. It was further established that
there was significant differences in the level satisfaction of male and female teachers for satisfaction with
administrative duties (t = 2.645) and satisfaction with teaching (t= 2.448). It was also found that male teachers
are more satisfied with administrative duties (m=3.2; s.d. = 1.05) than female teachers (m=2.91; s.d.= 1.18).
Similarly, male teaches are more satisfied with teaching (m= 2.6; s.d.= 0.70) than female teachers (m= 2.5; s.d. =
0.79). This implies that female teachers are not keen on taking up additional administrative duties in the school.
Overall, there was no significant difference between the levels of job satisfaction between male and female
teachers. On the other hand, it was found that job satisfaction was positively correlated with the ‘age of
respondent’ (r= 0.092; p<0.01)><0.05).

Job Anxiety and Occupational Stress among Employees of IT Sector: Impact on t...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
Information technology is the fastest growing sector in the country and the highest employer in the private sector. The fast-paced technological changes, the need to keep up with it and the huge workload puts enormous demands on the employees. They experience anxiety and stress at the workplace which affects, positively and negatively, their attitude towards their job and management. Hence, the study investigated the relationship between anxiety and stress experienced by the employees at the workplace and how each factor affects their attitude towards their management respectively. Since the study covered both male and female employees, hence similar nature of relationship between the variables was also examined separately for each gender
For this ex-post facto research, a convenience sample of 200 respondents through stratified sampling technique was chosen in 2019 from various IT firms in Hyderabad. The age of the respondents was between 24-36 years. The data for analysis was collected through 3 scales/ index viz. 1) Job Anxiety Scale by Dr. A. K. Srivastava 2) Occupational Stress Index by A K Srivastav and A P Singh 3) Attitude Scale for Measuring Employee Attitude Towards Management Attitude Scale for Measuring Employee Attitude Towards Management by Dr. K D Kapoor and a personal information sheet. Statistical tools of Pearson was applied to analyse the data.
The results of the study confirmed that occupational stress significantly and negatively predicted attitude towards management of the employees. But, on the contrary for job anxiety the relationship with employee attitude was found to be insignificant. The attitude towards management of female employees was found to be more significantly and negatively related to job anxiety and occupational stress respectively as compared to their male counterparts. This result belied the expectations. However, no interaction effect was observed between job anxiety and occupational stress while predicting attitude towards management. It is recommended that IT companies must design general and gender based intervention strategies to reduce job anxiety and occupational stress among employees.
Emotional intelligence has become a familiar issue between academicians, counsellors and business leaders due to a considerable role in the workplace. Organizations may be able to increase productivity and improve employee well-being through assessment and training of EI. Successes and failures at work generate emotions that may feedback to influence job performance, health, and other work behaviours. Understanding the interplay between work and emotion requires the identification of emotional competencies. Systematic research matching facets of EI to specific job competencies needed in order to substantiate the relevance of EI to the workplace. Anupama | Dr. Ajay K.

A Study Of The Effect Of Organization, Employees Opinion, Experience And Comm...IOSR Journals
Employees form the basis and foundation for the growth of the organization just like a seed giving
rise to a huge tree bearing fruits and vegetables. The employees promote the growth of an organization to
produce useful products beneficial to mankind and the country. Employee satisfaction is defined as “a function
of perceived performance and expectations”. The reasons such as high stress, lack of communication within the
company, recognition, good working conditions or limited growth opportunities force the employees to resign.
My study is focussed on determining the effect of some of the above stated reasons on the employees in order to
achieve maximum career success. To assess the degree of Employee Satisfaction, Questionnaires were
administered to the employees in the real estate company taking a random of seventy employees for the study
and the research methodology to be used for analysis of the study was descriptive and inferential statistics. The
validity of the questionnaire was tested, using the Cronbach Reliability Calculator software. Further, the
influences of demographics such as gender, age, educational qualification, designation and years of experience on their opinions were examined by Chi-Square Test and the effect of the Constructs on Employee Satisfaction were determined by Regression Analysis.
The purpose of this paper is to discuss on the concept of job satisfaction and how job satisfaction can make impact on the performance of employees in an organization. The paper will be limited to the positive and negative effects of Job satisfaction. Secondly, the literature review will discuss the relationship between employee motivation, job satisfaction and employee performance.

Usmonkhoja Polatkhoja, a progressive from Bukhara, was one of the beams not only in the Emirate of Bukhara, but also in Turkestan. He first participated in the reforms and progressives, and later in the national liberation movements, and fought for the prosperity and independence of the country.This article provides information about Usmonkhoja's life and work in Jadidism, revolts, national liberation struggles, and emmigiration.
Flood is one of the natural disaster known to be part of the earth biophysical processes, which its occurrence can be devastating; due to mostly anthropogenic activities and climatological factors. The aim of the research is to identify and map the extent at which the impact of flood due to intense rainfall and rise in water in the study area using geospatial techniques and the specific objectives are to carry out terrain analysis of the study area and to generate flood indicator maps of the study area. The study analyzed rain fall data;, the drainage system and Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM 30m) of the area. ArcGIS 10.8 was to modelled and to generate the contributing factors map of the study area. The drainage system was generated through on-screen digitization of topographic map of scale 1:50,000 of Ondo South-West. The mean annual rainfall of Lagos State was generated in the ArcGIS environment from the rainfall data through spatial analysis tool. The SRTM was used in terrain analysis of the study area. The results generated showed the lowest mean annual rain fall of the area 1,700mm and the highest mean annual rain fall was 2,440mm. Digital elevation model (DEM), slope, flow direction were generated from the SRTM. Drainage density of the area was generated using the drainage system. The slope map of the entire area which are classified into five slope classes of very high (14%-48.5%) to high (7.6%-13.9%) to moderately high (4.2%-7.6%) to low (1.5%-4.2%) and very low (0. % - 1.2%).

Watering plants during the correct time is very important due to scientific reasons. Both underwatering, as well as overwatering, can lead to the growth of unhealthy plants or in extreme cases, the death of the plant/tree. These issues which are the case with most self-gardeners and plant lovers can be solved using the smart irrigation technique. The main purpose of this innovation is to assist plant lovers to continue their passion to grow plants at home with ease. Smart irrigation system helps in monitoring the moisture level which majorly affects plant growth besides other factors such as sunlight, fertility of the soil, etc. The digital planting pot has been designed in a way that it effectively incorporates the idea of smart irrigation. Arduino Uno R3 has been used as the main chip in this project along with a few other components like a soil moisture sensor, relay, and water pump. This project requires coding to synchronize all the components, and function properly. A required test has been carried out to review the functioning of the mechanism. The project was tested by once using the soil with enough moisture in the pot and then the soil with the least moisture. Both times, it worked exactly how it was supposed to function. When the soil with the least moisture was tested, there was a clear indication of a low level of moisture and accordingly, the water pump got triggered to water the plant, and when the soil with enough moisture was tested, there was again the clear indication of the correct level of moisture and the water pump was inactive. All the readings which were displayed on the LCD were checked back and forth during the project. The outcomes were the same as expected. Hence, it shows that every component in this project is actively functioning and the whole project is effectively designed.

A new convenient and efficient route for the synthesis of two very important hydroxo-bridged stepped-cubane copper complexes viz: [Cu4(bpy)4Cl2(OH)4]Cl2.6H2O (1) and [Cu4(phen)4Cl2(OH)4]Cl2.6H2O (2) have been obtained. This synthetic route from the mononuclear CubpyCl2 complex is easier, more reproducible and afforded the complex in a much higher yield than the other two previously reported procedures which were equally serendipitously discovered. The purity and formation of the complexes were confirmed with elemental (C,H,N) analysis and the details of the UV-Vis, Fourier transform infrared, electrospray ionization mass spectra of both complexes and the single crystal X-ray crystallography of 1 are presented and discussed. X-ray crystallography confirms the absolute structure of the complexes. The complexes were formed via the connection of four copper atoms to four hydroxide bridging ligands and four bipyridyl ligands with two chloride ligands. There are two coordinate environments around two pairs of copper atoms (CuN2ClO2 and CuN2O3) and each copper atom is pentacoordinate with square pyramidal geometry.
Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam., which is commonly known as jackfruit is a tropical fruit, belonging to Moraceae family, native to Western Ghats of India and common in Asia, Africa, and some regions in South America. It is known to be the largest edible fruit in the world. The Jackfruit is an extremely versatile and sweet tasting fruit that possess high nutritional value. Jackfruit is rich in nutrients including carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. The jackfruit has diverse medicinal uses especially antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antiviral properties, anticancer and antifungal activity, anthelminthic activity. Traditionally, this plant is used in the treatment of various diseases especially for treatment against inflammation, malarial fever, diarrhoea, diabetes and tapeworm infection. Jackfruit is a good natural source of phytochemicals such as phenolics, flavonoids and tannins, saponins. The health benefits of jackfruit have been attributed to its wide range of physicochemical applications. The use of jackfruit bulbs and its parts has also been reported since ancient times for their therapeutic qualities. The beneficial physiological effects may also have preventive application in a variety of pathologies.
Myogenic differentiation requires to be exactly explored for the effective treatment of fracture. The speed of healing is affected by skeletal muscle, linked to activation of specific myogenic transcription factors during the repair process. In previous study, we discovered that psoralen enhanced differentiation of osteoblast in primary mouse. In the current study, we show that psoralen stimulates myogenic differentiation through the secretion of factors to hone the quality of repair in fractured mice. 3-month old mice were treated with corn oil or psoralen followed by a tibial fracture surgery. Fractures were tested 7, 14, and 21 days respectively later by histology and images observation. Skeletal muscles including soleus muscle and posterior tibial muscle around the damaged bone were collected for quantitative real-time PCR, HE staining, as well as western blot. Daily treatment with psoralen at seven, fourteen days or twenty-one days improves protein or mRNA levels responsible for the whole myogenic differentiation process, makes the muscle fibers more tightly aligned, and promotes callus formation and development. This data shows that high levels of myogenic transcription factors in the process of fracture healing in mice foster the repair of damaged muscles, and indicates a pharmacological approach that targets myogenic differentiation to improve fracture repair. This also reflects the academic thought of "paying equal attention to both muscles and bones" in the prevention and treatment of fracture healing.
The current pandemic has generated the search for new reliable and economic alternatives for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, which produces the COVID-19 disease, one of the recommendations by the World Health Organization, is the detection of the virus by RT-qPCR methods from upper respiratory tract samples. The discomfort of the pharyngeal nasopharyngeal swab described by patients, the requirement of trained personnel, and the generation of aerosols, are factors that increase the risk of infections in this type of intake. It is known that the main means of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is through aerosols or small droplets, which is why saliva is important as a relevant means of detecting COVID-19. In this study, a modified method based on SARS-CoV-2 RNA release from saliva is described, avoiding the isolation and purification of the genetic material and its quantification of viral copies; the results are compared with paired pharyngeal/nasopharyngeal swab samples (EF/EN). Results showed good agreement in saliva samples compared to EF/EN samples. On average, a sensitivity for virus detection of 80% was demonstrated in saliva samples competing with EF/EN samples. The use of saliva is a reliable alternative for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 by means of RT-PCR in the first days of infection, having important advantages over the conventional method. Saliva still needs to be studied completely to evaluate the detection capacity of the SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid, however, the described process is viable, due to the decrease in materials and supplies, process times, the increment in the sampling and improvement of laboratory performance.
A recent study establishes that since 1970, there has been an ecological gap between human needs and the planet's resources, with annual resource demand exceeding the bio-productivity of the planet. Specifically, humanity utilises equivalent of 1.75 earths to produce the ecological resources used, with half of this attributable to food consumption. The present work therefore seeks to provide an empirically-based insight into the environmental sustainability of the EF of food consumption in Ijebu Ode. A descriptive cross-sectional approach was used, and primary data were collected from 400 systemically sampled households via structured questionnaires and analysed descriptively using Microsoft Excel and inferentially using mathematical models for calculating ecological footprints. Findings revealed that the household EF of food consumption in Ijebu Ode is 0.05gha per capita, with the footprint of cereal consumption (0.17gha; 37%) taking the major share, followed by meat with a footprint of 0.11gha (23.9%). As a result, it was concluded that Ijebu Ode has sustainable food consumption, which is necessary for its environmental sustainability. However, the sustenance of the former requires creating awareness of the need for sustainable consumption and prioritisation of integrated and population-wide policies and food intervention initiatives to encourage attitudinal change in favour of sustainable food consumption while fostering sustainable food production strategies amidst current environmental realities.
The symmetry occurs in most of the phenomena explained by physics, for example, a particle has positive or negative charges, and the electric dipoles that have the charge (+q) and (-q) which are at a certain distance (d), north or south magnetic poles and for a magnetic bar or magnetic compass with two poles: North (N) and South (S) poles, spins up or down of the electron at the atom and for the nucleons in the nucleus In this form, the particle should also have mass symmetry. For convenience and due to later explanations, I call this mass symmetry or mass duality as follows: mass and mass cloud. The mass cloud is located in the respective orbitals given by the Schrödinger equation. The orbitals represent the possible locations or places of the particle which are determined probabilistically by the respective Schröndiger equation.
Metal-organic molybdenum complexes were synthesized by the hydrothermal method using ammonium heptamolybdate as the metallic source, and as the organic ligand terephthalic acid (BDC) or bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET), obtained via glycolysis of poly(ethylene)terephthalate (PET). The BDC-Mo and BHET-Mo complexes were characterized by XRD, N2 physisorption, TGA, ATR-FTIR, SEM, XPS and their in vitro biocompatibility was tested by porcine fibroblasts viability. The results show that molybdates (MoO4-2) are coordinated to the carbonyl functional groups of BDC and BHET by urea bonding (-NH-CO-NH-) which is related to their high biocompatibility and high thermal stability. These organic molybdate complexes possess rectangular prism particles made up of rods arrays characteristics of molybdenum oxides (MoO3). The organic complexes BDC-Mo and BHET-Mo do not show to be cytotoxic for porcine dermal fibroblasts growing on their surface for up to 48 h of culture.

Hybrid rice has the potential to outperform existing inbred rice and was said to have the potential to produce 14-20 % more yield. In response, Malaysia Government has introduced its very own first Hybrid Rice Variety knew as Kadaria 1 developed by MARDI. This is in line with one of the strategies outlined in Dasar Agromakanan Negara (DAN) 2011-2020 as an approach to increasing rice productivity within Malaysia. The next step would be developing our hybrid seed rice production system. Therefore, an experiment to determine the planting ratio and planting distance between 0025A (A)-a hybrid with MR283 (R)-inbreed variety was carried out. Planting ratios studied in this study were 2:4, 2:6, 2:8, and 2:10 while planting distance was 14 x 30 cm, 16 x 30 cm, and 18 x 30 cm. Statistical analyses suggested that yield R, yield A, and panicle number A were significantly affected by planting ratios while yield A was significantly affected by an interaction between planting distance and planting ratios. Panicle number A performed significantly higher at planting ratios of 2:4 compared to 2:10. Yield R shows higher significant performance under ratio 2:6 compared to 2:4 and 2:8. Relatively, yield A performed the best under planting distance of 18 x 30 cm. Furthermore, under this particular planting distance, the planting ratio of 2:10 shows the highest significant figure while 2:8 exhibits statistical parity. Both yield R and yield A were significantly affected by planting ratios and have a significant positive association with each other. Therefore, the planting ratio of 2:10 should be the best since it contributed to significantly highest value for yield A while yield R under 2:10 shows statistical parity with 2:6 which was the highest significant value. In conclusion, the combination of 2:10 with a planting distance of 18 x 30 cm was the best since it shows best potential for both yields A and yield R
Cassava plays an important role in improving food security and reducing poverty in rural areas. Despite its importance, its production in Senegal remains low compared to other African countries. Nowadays, it is confronted with numerous constraints. It is in this context that a study was conducted on the cassava production system in the Thiès "cassava granary" region, with the objective of examining farmers' cultivation practices. It was conducted in eight communes located in the department of Tivaouane, some of which are located in the Niayes agro-ecological zone and others in the central-northern groundnut basin. Surveys were conducted among the largest cassava producers in these communes. Analysis of the results showed that cassava is only grown in the rainy season with the same cultivation practices that have been used for years. Of the five varieties listed by the President of the Senegalese Cassava Interprofession, only four are grown in the areas surveyed. The Terrasse (43%) and Kombo (36%) varieties are grown more by our respondents in the Niayes area. Soya (75%) and Wallet "Parydiey" (20% of our sample) dominate in the central-northern groundnut basin.

We are witnessing very demanding and stressful times in which we live, and an occupation that is particularly exposed to stress and different working conditions is the job of a nurse. Exposing themselves to everyday challenges and stressful situations, nurses reach a stage of great emotional and physical exhaustion, lethargy, dissatisfaction, and poorer work achievements, which we know as burnout. The aim of this paper was to determine whether there is and to what extent professional burnout is present in nurses and technicians working in nursing homes across Slovenia and Croatia. The paper is answering the questions of the extent of the burnout influenced by individual characteristics (age, education, years of service and work experience at the current workplace). The study involved a validated questionnaire “The Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI)” to measure professional burnout. Surveying of the nurses was conducted online at their home institutions. The results show that all respondents have a medium or high level of professional burnout, while no one has a low level or shows no signs of burnout. In terms of age, the group from 55-65 years of age had the highest relative level of burnout in the age group category. With regard to education, the highest burnout was measured in registered nurses.
Hepatitis B and C are one of the most commonly transmitted viral infections through needlestick injury apart from HIV. It is highly prevalent in India and many other developing countries. It accounts for high mortality rate globally amongst low socio-economic groups of individuals. Healthcare workers, especially dental professionals are at higher risk of infection due to high exposure to saliva, blood and sharps. Accidental occupational exposure to non-sterile conditions and its development to more critical and fatal conditions can be reduced through vaccination, prophylactic medications and practicing high safety measures.
This review article focuses on transmission of hepatitis through sharps injuries in medicine, especially dentistry, its prevention, management, post-exposure prophylaxis and the corresponding content.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. Introduction
While the previous century belonged to the domination of IQ, the new century has seen a
drastic paradigm shift from more focus on EQ than IQ. Emotional Intelligence is usually
defined as the attitude through which an individual interacts with its surroundings. Today
success in the corporate world is more entangled with emotional intelligence rather than
having a superior IQ. This is because the attitudes of human beings have evolved (George,
2000). Today the management sciences has transformed into a comprehensive study of
how workplace is not only managed but how are its operations run. Employees being the
most pivotal element of any organization have been a focus of attention. When it comes to
employees, emotional intelligence over the years has been found to be a major element
connected to their overall satisfaction (Goleman, Boyatzis and Mckee, 2002). To take this
concept further ahead the researchers have further concluded that emotional intelligence
has a very stark connection with elements pertaining to an individual working in any
organization which primarily include job satisfaction, job performance and work
engagement (Bachman, Stein, Campbell and Sitarenios, 2000). While there have been
many studies conducted on the impact of emotional intelligence on employee job
satisfaction and performance there hasn’t been anything particular related to its study in the
telecommunication industry in Pakistan; which is the most thriving sector in the country. I
through this research paper have tried to fill this gap and understand the implications of
emotional intelligence on the job performance and satisfaction of individuals working in
telecom sector.
ABSTRACT
Emotional intelligence has been a buzzword of the 21st century. Whereas the previous 100 years revolved around IQ and its
implications the modern digital economy lays more stress on the vitality of emotional intelligence and how it can be a pivotal
factor in the growth and success of an individual. This study meticulously examines the impact of emotional intelligence of
employees on their job satisfaction, job performance and work engagement. The study was conducted on a carefully selected
sample size of 150 employees currently part of the telecommunication ecosystem of Pakistan. The results of the study show a
very strong correlation between the emotional intelligence of individuals vis a vis the variables that are associated with
employment i.e. job satisfaction, job performance and engagement at work. The literature explains in depth about the internal
emotional state of employees and how it has a direct impact on their job attitude. This research is important from the fact that
it will help employers in the telecommunication industry to understand the factors which lead to positive and enhanced
emotional intelligence since it will have a direct impact on overall organizational performance.
Keywords: Emotional intelligence, Job Satisfaction, Job performance, Work engagement.

2. Literature Review
The study of emotional intelligence as a medium started gaining traction in the 1960s when
psychologists from different schools of thought began focusing on its impact (Mayer,
Salovey & Caruso, 2004). When the decade of 1970s came the studies started focusing
more on the role of emotional intelligence and cognitive processes. As time moved on the
term emotional intelligence started gaining more popularity till the time Mayer and Salovey
formalized it as a topic of study through their work. Since that time onwards, the term EI has
developed into a more refined construct (Beck, 2013).
Over the years EI has developed into a very important human ability courtesy which it is
able to handle his relationships and interact with its surroundings. The study of emotional
intelligence is based on the fact that when people are able to control, understand, manage
and adapt their emotions they usually tend to perform better in every aspect of life. This also
enables them to understand and react to the behaviors of the people around them which
leads to better understanding as a whole. Emotional intelligence is also directly proportional
to the social effectiveness of an individual whereby a positive EI leads to better and
enhanced relationships specially in work related ecosystem.
Extensive research on EI has revealed its wide spectrum of implications in our daily life. It
was found that EI has significant impact on our relationships (Fitness, 2001), mental health
(Zeidner et al., 2002) behaviors, academic achievement, managerial effectiveness
(Srivastava & Nair, 2010) and areas like stress management (Gohm, Corserand Dalsky,
2005) as well. Its multi-dimensional aspects have made it the one preferred field of study for
social scientists.
One of the interesting aspects which have caught the eye of researchers is the direct
correlation of EI with job satisfaction and performance. These days EI is considered to be
one of the top most evaluation and appraisal factor amongst recruiters, trainers and HR
professionals due to its direct connection with the well-being employees.
2.1 Job Satisfaction
To define job satisfaction verbatim from one of the great scholars; Locke (1976) we can
define job satisfaction as “the emotional experience which can be both positive and negative
that results when someone is appraised for the job or the work he does”. Another way of
defining job satisfaction is to see how content an employee is with this (Spector, 1997).
Most of our adult life is spent on job doing professional work. Whether you are an
entrepreneur or an employee your well-being at work is directly dovetailed with the

happiness in your life. Most of the people who are satisfied with their jobs report a balanced
life and positive behavior towards their relationships same is true vice versa. A happy
employee not only contributes to the growth of an organization but also leads his own
betterment in life (Shooshtarian et al., 2013). Consequently, a great deal of stress has been
given to the factors leading to job satisfaction of an individual. Employees who have higher
level of EI are best adapted to working life dynamics as they are able to mould there
behaviors accordingly (Cooper & Sawaf, 1997). Similarly employees with relatively less
awareness about their emotional state of affairs are not able to adapt and respond in a
positive manner to the ups and downs in professional life.
This skill is further accentuated when individuals are working in teams. A single individual
with a high sense of appraisal for his emotional well-being not only increases his own level
of satisfaction but also helps its peers improve theirs as well therefore a positive group
synergy is created (Shimazu, Shimazu, & Odahara, 2004).
In the light of the discussion that we have done, Job satisfaction can be defined as a
multi-faceted multidimensional construct (Hulin & Judge, 2003; cited in Judge & Klinger,
2007; Aziri, 2011) which can be correlated to how a particular employee perceive or
evaluates his job (Sempane et al., 2002). It is understandable that when employees have
superior satisfaction with their jobs, they have a tendency to see their jobs in a positive light
(Wang & Feng, 2003; Sarwar & Aburge, 2013). Therefore, it won’t be wrong to conclude that
job satisfaction is an important variable in the study of behaviours within an organization
and surely does play a significant role in many theories of individual behavior in
organizational sciences (Judge & Klinger, 2007). Over the years research has shown that
Job satisfaction can have a very significant impact on the anatomy of an organizational
which further leads to productivity and effectiveness (Aziri, 2011).
2.2 Work Engagement
Work engagement is directly correlated to the overall performance of an organization. In the
most simplest of terms an employee’s engagement at work can be described as a favourable
and satisfying condition of mind (Schaufeli & Bakker, 2004). Speaking in the context of
workplace it can be further described as favorable feeling towards work and job (Macey &
Schneider, 2008). When we talk about engagement at work and narrow down on the factors
that contribute usually the people who conduct the research highlight the positive aspects
and tend to ignore the negative ones which include lethargy towards work or burnout due to
pressing circumstances or pressure. By focusing on engagement, researchers are able to
attend to the positive aspects of work as opposed to the negative aspects as in burnout or

dissatisfaction towards job. Over the course of last few years two studies have been
conducted which develop a relationship between EI to engagement at workplace. One study
dealt with the availability of job resources reduced the effects of job demands (Bakker,
Hakanen, Demerouti, & Xanthopoulou, 2007) while the other focused on burnout
(Demerouti, Bakker, Nachreiner, 2001). Both studies concluded a positive relationship
between EI of an individual to the amount of work engagement he had. This construct is the
most important in the study since it is directly related to the productivity of organizations
since work engagement leads to positive outcome.
2.3 Job Performance
If you were to ask one of the key elements to an organizations success, it will have to be
employee job performance. The entre equilibrium of an organization is balanced on the
shoulders of its employees. High performing employees catapult their organization to glory
while low performing employees lead to deterioration in overall organization productivity
(Korkaew & Suthinee, 2012). Job performance can be described as the set of factors which
amalgamate and result in the overall contribution and achievement of an employee on job
(Rotundo & Rotman, 2002). For some authors like (Baytos and Kleiner 1995), work quality,
punctuality, performance, and productivity can be used to accurately measure the
performance of employees on job. Some of the other factors can be the role of training to
produce quality HR and productivity associated with a particular job role (Gatewood & Field,
1998).
The research has also revealed that job performance dovetailed with how a particular
employee makes use of his emotional quotient to improve or influence his job performance
(e.g., George & Brief, 1996). It has pros and cons since employees can put to affect either
a positive or a negative emotion to their advantage to improve performance. In the most
starkly simple and easy terms this can be described in that sense when an employees or an
individual has favourable emotions like being dedicated, enthusiastic and passionate it could
surely persuade him to provide enhanced level of customer support, he will be able to
complete his work efficiently and on time and have a positive contribution towards the
organization. Vice versa negative or repelling emotions which include burnout, stress at
work could lead to negative attitude at work. Emotional intelligence of an employee is
dovetailed with how he adapts and regulates his behavior at work and more so it has a great
effect on group dynamics. A positive EI affects the environment and ecosystem around an
individual which usually leads more positive organizational behavior that has a direct role in
the overall performance (Mossholder, Bedian, & Armenakis, 1981; Wong & Law, 2002).

3. Conceptual Framework
The following section contains the discussions on the development of the conceptual
framework presented in figure 1.
Figure 1: Conceptual Framework
3.1 Methodology and Development of Hypothesis
This is one of the key sections of the research since it entails the nuts and bolts which were
used to carry out the research. It is also critical for the fact since it further materializes the
conceptual framework around which forms the foundation of the whole research. Moreover,
it also sheds light on how the constructs were developed as well as focuses on the scales and
measures to make sense out of the data. The data summary has been carefully analyzed
based on the hypothesis and in the later section has been tabulated in the form of research.
The target audience for this research was the employees working in the telecommunication
sector in Pakistan. The audience was a mix of both genders and belonged from the lower to
the higher strata of the income group. The scope and aim of this study was to find out
whether any correlation exists between employees emotional intelligence and job
performance, job satisfaction and work engagement. The valid sample size of the research
was 150 respondents. This sample is worthwhile since it is based on structural equation
modeling (Jackson, 2003).

significance on employee job satisfaction
H2: Emotional Intelligence of an employee does have a positive influence and holds

The above hypothesis was tested using various statistical tools. The software used to do the
statistical analysis was SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). The data was
collected using by using questionnaire which was later developed on Google form to make it
easier for the respondents to respond to all the questions.
4. Results and Data Analysis
4.1 Descriptive Analysis
In order to make sense of the data and check the consistency and normality it was
imperative to carry out the descriptive analysis of the data. The results have been tabulated
in table no.2 below:
Table 2: Descriptive Analysis

Skewness Kurtosis
Emotional Intelligence 0.72 3.45 0.41 0.33 -1.89
Job Satisfaction 0.85 3.37 0.48 0.38 -1.94
Job Performance 0.76 3.49 0.45 0.29 0.77
Work Engagement 0.77 3.60 0.42 0.42 0.66
Table 2 shows that the Cronbach alpha (reliability) of job satisfaction was the highest (α=
0.85, Mean = 3.37, Std. Dev = 0.48) and emotional intelligence the lowest (i.e. α = 0.72,
Mean = 3.45, Std. Dev = 0.41). The reliability of all the constructs are greater than 0.7
indicating acceptable internal consistency (Bryman & Bell, 2015).
The variable job performance has the lowest Skewness (SK=-0.29) while job satisfaction
has highest skewness (SK=0.38). However, the Kurtosis value is the highest for job
performance (KR=0.77) and it is the lowest for job satisfaction (KR=-1.94).
As the Skewness and Kurtosis values for all the variables lie between the range of +- 3.5 it
can be assumed that the constructs have univariate normality (Bryman and Bell, 2015).
4.2 Convergent Validity
In order to see whether the constructs are different from each other convergent validity was
checked. The results have been tabulate in table no. 3 below

Work Engagement 3.60 0.42 0.65 72%
Table 3 shows that the reliability and variance explained for all the constructs are greater
than 0.70 and 0.60 respectively. This suggests that all the adopted constructs are different.
A. Discriminant Validity
In order to see whether the variables are different and unique discriminant validity was
checked. The results have been tabulate in table no. 4 below.

Job Satisfaction 0.88 0.70
Job Performance 0.61 0.75 0.81
Work Engagement 0.55 0.56 0.77 0.84
The results of the table suggest that the square root of variance explained is greater than
the square of each correlation value. This suggests that the constructs used in the study are
distinctive and unique (Bryman & Bell, 2015).
B. Emotional Intelligence and Job Satisfaction
The hypothesis which displays that Emotional intelligence has a positive influence on
employee job satisfaction was examined through simple regression.
The results are tabulated in table 5.

5. Discussion of Results
5.1 Emotional Intelligence and Job Satisfaction
A hypothesis proven with numbers holds great value in terms of application. We started off
with a hypothesis that emotional intelligence has a significantly positive impact on job
satisfaction. When the results were quantified and analyzed regression table no. 5; the
hypothesis was proved. In simple terms we can deduce form the regression results that
more emotional intelligent employees tend to be satisfied with their jobs and workplace
ecosystem. The correlation is positive which means that employees who have control over
their emotions and adapt positively to workplace dynamics tend to have a positive frame of
mind which in turn leads to greater job satisfaction. As conversed in the literature review as
well that previous studies have also shown a significant and more importantly a positive
relationship between emotional intelligence and job satisfaction. From an application point
of view, we can infer from the results that in order to promote job satisfaction within an
organization, the human resource department along with the management team should
look to keep in check employees level of emotional quotient since this is directly dovetailed
with the satisfaction of their workers which is biggest capital an organization has.
5.2 Emotional Intelligence and Job Performance
One of the main constructs of the research was job performance, while there are umpteenth
factors that impact job performance we wanted to test the impact of emotional intelligence
on an employee’s performance at work. The regression results which have been tabulated in
table no. 6 reveal that emotional intelligence has a significant and more importantly a
positive impact on an employee’s job performance. This is a very important development for
organizations who do not take emotional intelligence as a major contributing factor towards
10. Middle East Journal of Applied Science & Technology (MEJAST)
Vol.3, Iss.2, Pages 35-48, April-June 2020
ISSN: 2582-0974 www.mejast.com 44
overall employee job performance. The results have made this relationship more concrete.
A positive sense of emotional control and the ability to manage emotions during tough times
at job leads to better professional results. Since the correlation is positive it is important to
view EI in the light of dovetailing it with job performance. Since an employee’s performance
directly affects the organizational productivity therefore this construct needs to be focused
on more.
5.3 Emotional Intelligence and Work Engagement
We had three important variables and one of them was work engagement. Over the years
there have been lots of studies conducted on the work engagement and the factors that
actually promote and employee to be strongly engaged at work. We tried to establish a
relationship between emotional intelligence and work engagement by hypothesizing their
correlation. As suggested by regression results in table no. 7 the tabulated numbers suggest
a significantly positive relationship between both the variables. This shows that a high
quotient of emotional intelligence leads to more engagement at work. This is positive news
for a particular organization since they can laser focus on an employee’s EI to generate more
engagement at work. This will lead to increase in the overall productivity of the organization.
6. Conclusion
The study was significant at it helped me touch base with the psychological factor which
actually has a significant impact on how employees conduct themselves at work. Since a
major portion of our lives is spent on work it is indispensable for us to look for factors which
actually leads to greater work productivity. This is also important fir the fact that our
goodwill in life depends on how we perform at work since it leads to improvement in financial
and physical health; this works vice versa as well. The study was also important from the
fact that it helps me develop a correlation between four major variables which are not only
part of our lives but also a part of our personality.
The conclusion suggested a very strong and directly proportional relationship between all
the four variables. The results suggested that emotional intelligence is one of the key
elements in our personality which plays a pivotal role in how we interact with our workplace
ecosystem. Variables like Job satisfaction, Job performance and work engagement are all
positively correlated with emotional intelligence of a particular employee. This result show
holds tremendous significance to organizations that are pursuing excellence and want to be
productive. My research will help the telecommunication sector in Pakistan further enhance
their human resource capital and in turn make their organization and employees more
effective and productive.

7. Limitations and Future Research
While I tried to keep work on as much factors as possible to understand the correlation
between EI and the other 3 variables using quantitative approach. The future research can
further take this topic ahead and work on the mixed method approach which will further
highlight the results and we will be able to see new dimensions to the existing study.
Moreover, my research was limited to the telecom sector; future researchers can expand
this research to various key sectors of the economy.
