Measuring emotional intelligence in a Malaysian sample: an exploratory factor analysis

Schutte et al. (1998) membangunkan 33 item skala kecerdasan emosi yang didakwa bersifat unidimensional. Petrides dan Furnham (2006) telah menjalankan analisis faktor untuk skala yang berkenaan sama dan mendapati empat faktor yang mendasari skala. Kajian tentang kecerdasan emosi telah dijalankan d...

Kajian ini meneliti struktur faktor versi dwibahasa (terjemahan Melayu oleh Abd Hamid dan Kimin, 2004) yang menggunakan utama paksi pemfaktoran dengan putaran ortogon varimax, dengan sampel Malaysia. Skala ini telah diberikan kepada 187 pekerja Malaysia di sebuah agensi kerajaan dan komuniti kolej. Analisis ini mendedahkan empat faktor yang mendasari skala yang padan dengan penemuan Petrides dan Furnham. Kebolehpercayaan didapati baik untuk tiga faktor dan tidak boleh diterima untuk satu faktor. Isu-isu berkaitan struktur faktor juga dibincangkan. Schutte et al. (1998) developed a 33-item emotional intelligence scale which they claimed to be unidimensional. Petrides and Furnham (2006) conducted factor analysis on the same scale and found 4 factors underlying the scale. Studies on emotional intelligence had been conducted in Malaysia with scales that are adopted, adapted, and developed. The dimensionality of the scales needed to be clearly demonstrated to better put the findings within the local context. This study examined the factor structure of the bilingual version of the scale (Malay translation by Abd Hamid and Kimin, 2004) using principal axis factoring with a varimax orthogonal rotation, in a Malaysian sample. The scale was administered to 187 Malaysian employees in a government agency and a college community. The analysis revealed four factors underlying the scale that matched Petrides and Furnham’s findings. Reliability was found to be good for three factors and unacceptable for one. The issues in the factor structure were discussed. 2015 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/43401/1/Measuring_emotional_intelligence_in_a_Malaysian_Sample.pdf Abd Razak, Mohamad Nahar and Abd Hamid, Harris Shah (2015) Measuring emotional intelligence in a Malaysian sample: an exploratory factor analysis.
