The study of emotional intelligence (EI) in work environments is a trending topic. However, few studies have examined the relationship between EI and salary. Therefore, the presented research aims to analyze the influence of EI on salary using a multioccupational sample. The participants were 785 subjects aged between 18 and 58 years (M = 39.41; SD = 10.95). EI ability was measured using the Mobile Emotional Intelligence Test (MEIT), while the salary was collected together with other sociodemographic variables in a questionnaire created ad hoc. After controlling for the age, gender, social class, educational level, and work experience variables, the results of correlation and regression analysis showed that participants with higher EI and emotional-repair capacity generally have higher salary. These findings provide preliminary evidence that EI is a relevant variable in achieving career success. The ability to channel and manage emotions could help employees develop stronger interpersonal relationships, leading to higher positions and greater financial compensation.
工作环境中的情绪智力（EI）研究是一个热门话题。然而，很少有研究探讨 EI 与薪酬之间的关系。因此，本研究旨在使用多职业样本分析 EI 对薪酬的影响。参与者为 785 名年龄在 18 至 58 岁之间的受试者（M = 39.41；SD = 10.95）。EI 能力使用移动情绪智力测试（MEIT）进行测量，而薪酬则与其他社会人口统计学变量一起在专门创建的问卷中收集。在控制年龄、性别、社会阶层、教育水平和工作经验变量后，相关和回归分析的结果表明，EI 较高和情绪修复能力较强的参与者通常薪酬更高。这些发现提供了初步证据，表明 EI 是实现职业成功的一个相关变量。调节和管理情绪的能力可以帮助员工建立更强的人际关系，从而获得更高的职位和更高的经济补偿。
