This edited book provides new insights for traditional paradigms, approaches, and methods, as well as more recent developments in research methodology on emotional intelligence, job satisfaction and firm performance. Particularly, the book investigates how emotional intelligence influences entrepreneurial motivation on networking competencies in different sectors. Examples from the tourism and hospitality management industry feature heavily, in addition to examples from the luxury car and oil industries. However, the insights gained from these examples can be applied to emotional intelligence research in other contexts as well.

Team cohesion, consumer satisfaction, emotional intelligence and personality, and multicultural leadership are among the topics covered in this book, which is intended to be used primarily by researchers in the field of organizational behavior.
