Engagement of nursing professionals is related to their psychological wellbeing, and therefore, emotional intelligence acts as a predictor. The purpose of this study was to analyze the explanatory value of the dimensions of emotional intelligence in engagement in both sexes, as well as the conditional effect of interaction of sex as a moderating variable. The sample was comprised of 2126 nurses with a mean age of 31.66 years. The Utrecht Work Engagement Scale and the Brief Inventory of Emotional Intelligence for Senior Citizens (EQ-i-20M) were used for their evaluation. The results revealed the existence of significant differences in engagement depending on the sex of the nursing professionals. Furthermore, this study showed that the interpersonal component of emotional intelligence is the predictor of engagement of female professionals, while mood and the interpersonal dimensions have a higher predictive value of engagement in males. Finally, this study was able to emphasize the sex differences found along with the importance of the role emotional intelligence dimensions have in engagement levels, which must be taken into account when designing intervention programs to improve engagement and promote participation of nursing professionals in their workplace.
护理专业人员的敬业度与他们的心理健康有关，因此，情商起着预测作用。本研究的目的是分析情商维度在男女敬业度方面的解释价值，以及性别作为调节变量的交互作用的条件效应。样本包括2126名护士，平均年龄为31.66岁。使用乌得勒支工作投入量表和老年人情商简表（EQ-i-20M）进行评估。结果显示，护理专业人员的敬业度因性别而异，存在显著差异。此外，本研究表明，情商的人际成分是女性专业人员敬业度的预测指标，而情绪和人际维度对男性敬业度的预测价值更高。最后，本研究能够强调所发现的性别差异以及情商维度在敬业度水平方面的重要作用，在设计干预方案以提高敬业度并促进护理专业人员在工作场所的参与度时，必须考虑到这些因素。
