Researchers at the Universitat Jaume I in Castelló have conducted a study among Spanish healthcare staff that shows that emotional intelligence has a significant direct effect on individual job development and that professional commitment intervenes as a mediator between emotional intelligence and job performance. In its conclusions, the research team advocates "policies for self-protection and the promotion of health protection among healthcare workers".

According to the results of the more than 1,500 surveys collected, healthcare professionals who exhibit high levels of emotional intelligence have more resourceful tools at their disposal when dealing with complex or demanding issues at work and, at the same time, maximise their work commitment, which promotes a sustained perception of effectiveness over time and improves the job performance indicator. For this reason, the researchers consider it necessary to proactively develop the emotional competencies of healthcare workers, especially in emotionally demanding contexts.

The study entitled "Health professionals in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic: how emotional intelligence can improve job development through the mediating role of work engagement" was recently published in the *[Journal of Clinical Medicine](https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm10184077)* by researchers Martín Sánchez-Gómez, Max Sadovyy and Edgar Bresó from the Department of Developmental, Educational, Social and Methodological Psychology at the UJI.
