Inteligencja emocjonalna a gotowość do podejmowania nieetycznych zachowań proorganizacyjnych (NZPO).
Emotional intelligence and readiness to undertake unethical pro-organizational behaviors (NZPO).

Summary/Abstract: Objective: The aim of the study was to establish the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) considered as a trait and readiness to engage in unethical pro-organizational behavior (NZPO). This study was to fill the gap in the existing research on the relationship between emotional intelligence and NZPO. Method: The study covered 103 people working in companies throughout Poland. Emotional intelligence (EI) was examined using a questionnaire for diagnosing the level of EI developed by Borkowska et al. (2006). Readiness to engage in NZPO was measured using the Polish version of the scale of unethical pro-organizational behavior (Grabowski et al., 2019). Results: The study showed that there is a negative relationship between EI and NZPO. Mood regulation, perception of emotions and empathy, and emotional knowledge and insight are negatively related to readiness to engage in NZPO. Mood regulation and emotion perceptionand empathy also appear as predictors of reduced readiness to undertakeNZPO, which explain approximately 20% of NZPO.Conclusions: The research provided significant knowledge on the relationship between EI and NZPOin the group of Polish employees. It can be assumed that emotional intelligence (EI),and especially mood regulation and emotion perception and empathy, are factors reducing readiness to undertake NZPO.
