Emotional intelligence and the dark triad: a latent profile analysis to investigate the Jekyll and Hyde of the emotionally intelligent manager.

Managers sometimes have a bad reputation as they are often perceived as more manipulative than other employees. This study focuses on the Dark Triad (DT)-comprising psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and narcissism-and its connection with managers' "Ability" Emotional Intelligence (AEI). The link between DT (measured through the Dirty Dozen) and managers' AEI (measured through QEPro, an AEI performance test) was examined through a Latent Profile Analysis (LPA).

QEPro: An ability measure of emotional intelligence for managers in a French cultural environment.

Managers' interest in the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has grown steadily due to an accumulation of published articles and books touting EI's benefits. For over thirty years, many researchers have used or designed tools for measuring EI, most of which raise important psychometric, cultural and contextual issues. The aim of this article is to address some of the main limitations observed in previous studies of EI.

[Factorial validation of the French scale for perceived stress in the workplace].

This article aims to validate the factorial structure of the perceived stress scale (PSS10) within the French working population. The analyses conducted confirmed the presence of two distinct factors, interpreted in terms of perceived work overload and perceived personal efficacy. Both factors presented good internal consistency and adequate validity of construct.
