Abstract
Healthcare employees encounter work intimidation that influences their professional life. Emotional intelligence plays a significant role in employees’ success and performance. The organizational culture reflects the employees’ view of the company environment and relationships with others that are critical for attaining job performance. This study aims to investigate the impact of emotional intelligence on job performance in private hospitals and to test whether the organizational culture will moderate this relationship. To achieve this aim, the quantitative research approach is used. The sample consists of the big eight private hospitals in Amman. Using convenience sampling techniques, a structured questionnaire was used to collect data from hospital employees (nurses, physicians, and administrative workers). 700 questionnaires were distributed, and 554 were returned. 37 were incomplete, and 517 were used for further analysis. Descriptive data show that nurses enjoy higher emotional intelligence than physicians and administrative staff. The results of the main hypothesis (β = 0.805, t = 0.22.3, p < 0.00) indicate that emotional intelligence has a statistically significant effect on job performance. The testing of the four dimensions of emotional intelligence revealed a significant effect on job performance. The findings for self-emotional appraisal were β = 0.157, t = 0.14.41, p < 0.00; for others’ emotional appraisal – β = 0.238, t = 0.15.76, p < 0.00; regulation of emotions – β = 0.233, t = 0.16.19, p < 0.00; and for the use of emotions – β = 0.305, t = 0.17.30, p < 0.00.
