Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence, hardiness and the perceived job related stress among registered nurses. The study was conducted based on Salovey and Mayer' (1990) and Goleman's (1995) theories on Emotional Intelligence; Kobasa, Maddi, & Kahn's (1982) theory on Hardiness; and Spielberger & Vagg's (1999) theory on Job Stress. Three instruments were utilized: the Emotional Intelligence Scale, Personal Views Survey III, and Job Stress Survey.

Both convenient and random sampling techniques were utilized to obtain the sample. The participants of this study were 123 registered nurses who responded either through class contact, a random survey of nurses on registry list, or through their employment settings.
