| Abstract: | To demonstrate the utility of the emotional intelligence (EI) construct in organizational studies, this study focuses on the
effect of EI on job performance among research and development scientists in China. We argue that EI is a significant predictor
of job performance beyond the effect of the General Mental Ability (GMA) battery on performance. This predictor effect is
supported by results on a study of research and development scientists working for a large computer company in China. Our
results also show that a self-reported EI scale developed for Chinese respondents, the WLEIS, is a better predictor of job
performance than the scale developed in the U.S., the MSCEIT. Implications of the findings are discussed.
