Emotion and Emotional Intelligence

Emotion is a psychological construct, aimed at an object, whose components are:

• Thought : in term of evaluating stimuli and situation:
  
• Action : in terms of a arousal and movement,
  
• Motivation : in term of behavior intentions or behavioral readiness 
  
• Subjective feeling state
  

If you imagine a continuum with two opposite ends, you can display emotions such as pleasant or positive on one end,  and unpleasant or negative on the other.  Example of positive emotions are 'happy, calm, stress, frustration, hostility, fatigue, anger, shame, and alienation'. Do we learn to expensive emotions, or they innate? The debate goes on. However, a more current thinking is that while we cannot ignore the innate nature of basic emotions, we cannot deny  the importance of social and cultural factors in shaping, triggering and display of emotion.
Consider the role of emotions a work. Both, positive as well as negative emotions arise as the person interacts with situations and other at  work. However, the individual is likely to be effective in the organizational or work context if that person can highlight those emotions that help achieve desirable outcomes, and avoid the negative influence of emotions on the work outcomes. if emotions are managed effectively, this can be achieved. The management of emotions requires several skills, but if cannot be measured using the conventional IQ tests as they focus on the cognitive skills.
