A growing number of studies have tested the relationship between personal resources (e.g. emotional intelligence) and indicators of occupational well-being, including work engagement. However, few have examined health-related factors moderating or mediating the pathway from emotional intelligence to work engagement. A better knowledge of this area would contribute substantially to the design of effective intervention strategies. The present study's main goal was to test the mediating and moderating role of perceived stress in the association between emotional intelligence and work engagement. The participants comprised 1166 Spanish teaching professionals (744 of whom were female and 537 worked as secondary teachers; M = 44.28 years). The results showed that perceived stress partially mediated the link between emotional intelligence and work engagement. Moreover, the positive relationship between emotional intelligence and work engagement was strengthened among individuals who scored high in perceived stress. The results suggest that multifaceted interventions targeting stress management and emotional intelligence development may facilitate engagement in emotionally demanding occupations such as teaching.
越来越多的研究检验了个人资源（如情商）与职业幸福感指标（包括工作投入）之间的关系。然而，很少有研究考察健康相关因素在情商与工作投入之间的路径中所起的调节或中介作用。对这一领域有更深入的了解将极大地有助于设计有效的干预策略。本研究的主要目的是检验感知压力在情商与工作投入之间的关联中所起的中介和调节作用。参与者包括1166名西班牙教师（其中744名是女性，537名是中学教师；平均年龄M = 44.28岁）。结果表明，感知压力部分中介了情商与工作投入之间的联系。此外，在感知压力得分高的个体中，情商与工作投入之间的正向关系得到了加强。结果表明，针对压力管理和情商发展的多方面干预措施可能有助于从事如教学等情感要求较高职业的人员提高工作投入度。
