Background And Purpose:
Assessing factors related to nurses' job satisfaction may help to address nursing shortages and high turnover rates. Job satisfaction is complicated and may be related to several issues, including trait emotional intelligence. This study examined the reliability and validity of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (TEIQue-SF) in a sample of nurses working in the United Arab Emirates, and tested its ability to predict job satisfaction.
Methods:
The TEIQue-SF was tested against its original long form and as a predictor of the Nurse Satisfaction Scale.
Results:
The TEIQue-SF showed acceptable reliability at factor and global levels and a medium positive correlation with job satisfaction.
Conclusion:
The TEIQue-SF showed acceptable validity and reliability.
