Emotional Intelligence and Ethics on Organizations

Emotional intelligence (EI) usually refers to not only the ability to express and control one’s own emotions, but also the ability to understand, interpret, and respond to the emotions of others. It is a concept that becomes popular from 1995 by psychologist and behavioral science journalist Dr. Daniel Goleman in his first book, Emotional Intelligence, and has been studied by experts from different aspects and in different fields. It

Ethics is a branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct. Through some literature research, it has been shown that EI and Ethics are determinant on rationalized and emotional integration of human behavior, and inherently in society and in organizational world and are also important in the attenuation of dramatic and unbalanced wills that tend to persist.

In this paper, the authors aimed to explore the role of Emotional Intelligence on Individual Ethics, Perceptions of Other’s Ethics and Ethics Perception in Facilitating Success. They first did a literature review about ethics and emotional intelligence. Then they used the questionnaires to collect data from a group of 6371 exporting companies and/or with interest in exporting of the Agency for Investment and External Commerce of Portugal (AICEP) database, and 625 answers were obtained, with a total of 404 valid responses for analysis. The questionnaire was divided into eight parts and was analyzed by exploratory factorial analysis. Besides, eight hypotheses were presented and the related results were analyzed.

The findings indicated that Emotional Intelligence predicted perceptions of the role of Ethics in Success. The role of Emotional Intelligence was attested as a predictor in Individual Ethics and the predictor role of these two in Perceptions of Other’s Ethics. Emotional Intelligence was significantly correlated with Self-Esteem, Social Desirability, Individual Ethics and Perceptions of Other’s Ethics.

And it is recommended that the relationship between emotional intelligence and transformational leadership practice can be considered as a subject in future studies.

Incorporation of High-Altitude Balloon Experiment in High School Science Classrooms

High-altitude balloon is a balloon, filled usually with helium or hydrogen that ascends into an area called “near space” or stratosphere. The most common type of high-altitude balloons are weather balloons. Other purposes include use as a platform for experiments in the upper atmosphere. Modern balloons generally contain electronic equipment such as radio transmitters, cameras, or satellite navigation systems, such as GPS receivers. The mission of the High-Altitude Balloon Experiment (HABE) is to acquire supporting data, validate enabling technologies, and resolve critical acquisition, tracking, and pointing (ATP) and fire control issues in support of future space-based precision pointing experiments. The use of high-altitude balloons offers a relatively low-cost, low-vibration test platform, a recoverable and reusable payload, worldwide launch capability, and a 'near- space' emulation of the future space systems operational scenarios. More recently, several university...

Electron Spin and Proton Spin in the Hydrogen and Hydrogen-Like Atomic Systems

Read full paper at: http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=52202#.VIj7tMnQrzE Author(s) Stanisław Olszewski * Affiliation(s) Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland . ABSTRACT The mechanical angular momentum and magnetic moment of the electron and proton spin have been calculated semiclassically with the aid of the uncertainty principle for energy and time. The spin effects of both kinds of the elementary particles can be expressed in terms of similar formulae. The quantization of the spin motion has been done on the basis of the old quantum theory. It gives a quantum number n = 1/2 as the index of the spin state acceptable for both the electron and proton ...

Effects of Karate Training on Basic Motor Abilities of Primary School Children

“You never attack first in karate” might be the best conclusion of karate, which is a martial art practiced typically without weapons. It’s reported that karate has a long history for several hundred years, but the modern karate was spread to the whole Japan from Okinawa in the early part of 20th century. Now it has become one of the most widely practiced martial art forms in the world. Usually, it’s divided into Kihon, Kata and Kumite. As for the beginners, Kihon is more suitable for them because it involves basic techniques. Due to karate consists of dynamic offensive and defensive techniques using all parts of the body to their maximum advantage, the best understanding of true karate practice is the perfection of oneself through the perfection of the art. It not only develops coordination, quickens reflexes, and builds stamina, but also develops composure, a clearer thought process, deeper insight into one’s mental capabilities, and more self-confidence. So many researchers stu...
