Gender, Age Differences and Emotional Intelligences: Implications for Workforce Development
This research project involved an investigation into the relationship between college students’ use of emotional intelligence and age and gender Bermuda and Trinidad. The study included the implementation of the Emotional Quotient Inventory (BarOn, 2002) administered online to 80 Bermudian Community College students and 88 ROYTEC Trinidadian student. A descriptive correlation quantitative analysis determined that a correlation of .28 exists between Bermudian and Trinidadian college students’ use of EI. Significant correlation of .19 exists between EI and gender and a significant correlation of .00 exists between EI and age. Bermudian students and male students scored higher in EI overall. The implications of the findings indicate a need for inculcating EI training into the curriculum so that future leaders and the future workforce will be more equipped to deal with exponential changes.
