Different research papers into various occupational groups demonstrate the importance of for the wellbeing of both employees and organizational results. However, the study of this phenomenon and that of other positive factors in professional staff caring for persons with intellectual disabilities is scarce. For this reason, the objective of this work was to test a theoretical model concerning the relationship between a positive factor, and self-efficacy in carers of persons with an intellectual disability, using emotional intelligence as a mediating variable. Three hundred and eleven carers participated in the study. Self-report measures with adequate psychometric properties were provided to evaluate engagement, self-efficacy, and emotional intelligence. The structural equation models (SEM) showed a significant relation between self-efficacy and . In addition, one of the dimensions of emotional intelligence, namely the use of emotions (UOE), was a full mediator in this relationship. The other dimensions showed no relation to . Thus, the UOE was a fundamental factor for self-efficacy to imply . For this reason, intervention programs in wellbeing and health in the workplace should include specific training in this skill among their objectives.Implications for rehabilitationCarers are very important persons in the lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities.There was a significant relationship between self-efficacy and engagement and use of emotions was a full mediator in this relationship.The intervention programs should include training the emotional intelligence among their objectives in order to optimize engagement.
不同的研究论文针对不同的职业群体，证明了对员工和组织成果的幸福感的重要性。然而，对于这种现象的研究以及对其他积极因素的研究，如照顾智障人士的专业人员，却很少。出于这个原因，这项工作的目的是测试一个关于积极因素与智障人士照顾者的自我效能感之间关系的理论模型，使用情绪智力作为中介变量。311 名照顾者参与了这项研究。提供了具有足够心理测量特性的自我报告措施，以评估敬业度、自我效能感和情绪智力。结构方程模型（SEM）显示，自我效能感与敬业度之间存在显著关系。此外，情绪智力的一个维度，即情绪的使用（UOE），是这种关系的完全中介。其他维度与敬业度无关。因此，UOE 是自我效能感暗示敬业度的基本因素。出于这个原因，工作场所的幸福感和健康干预计划应该将这项技能的特定培训作为其目标之一。
康复意义
照顾者是智障人士生活中非常重要的人。
自我效能感与敬业度之间存在显著关系，情绪的使用是这种关系的完全中介。
干预计划应将情绪智力培训纳入其目标，以优化敬业度。
