Workgroup Emotional Intelligence Profile (WEIP)
(Jordan et al., 2002 ).
Variable
The WEIP is a self-report measure of the EI of work team members. It was constructed to tap emotion-related
intrapersonal and interpersonal abilities that contribute to performance within work teams.
Description
The WEIP conforms to Mayer and Salovey’s (1997) revised ability model, but focuses specifically on people’s
attitudes and behaviors in relation to work team members. There are 30 items with a 7-point response scale,
yielding a total EI score, two broad scale scores (Ability to deal with own emotions and the Ability to deal with
others’ emotions), and seven subscale scores: Awareness of own emotions, Ability to discuss own emotions,
Ability to use own emotions to facilitate thinking, Ability to recognize others’ emotions/detect false displays of
emotion, and Ability to manage others’ emotions.
A short version (WEIP-S) of 16 items was developed measuring four factors (four items each): Awareness of
own emotions, Management of own emotions, Awareness of others’ emotions, and Management of others’ emo-
tions ( Jordan & Lawrence, 2009 ). This four-factor structure was replicated with a Spanish translation of the
WEIP-S ( Lopez-Zafra, Martos, Martos, & Augusto-Landa, 2012 ).
Sample
Descriptive statistics were reported for total EI ( M5115.47, SD513.16) and the broad scales of Dealing with
own emotions ( M576.74, SD59.30, min. 57, max. 5126) and Dealing with others’ emotions ( M538.73,
SD55.88, min 57, max 5126). The shortened version (WEIP-S) development sample comprised 620 employees
of a large public sector organization ( Jordan & Lawrence, 2009 ). The means for the four factors were 4.14
(SD51.15) for Awareness of own emotions, 5.32 ( SD5.79) for Management of own emotions, 4.45 ( SD5.93) for
Awareness of others’ emotions, and 4.71 ( SD5.88) for Management of others’ emotions.
Reliability
Internal Consistency
Jordan and Troth (2004) reported Cronbach alpha coefficients for total EI ( α5.80), the two broad scales
(Dealing with own emotions α5.79, Dealing with others’ emotions α5.80), and the five subscales ( α5.71 to
.80). In the validation sample, Cronbach alphas for the WEIP-S factors were .85 for Awareness of own emotions,
.77 for Management of own emotions, .81 for Awareness of others’ emotions, and .81 for Management of others’
emotions.405 WORKPLACE-ORIENTED MEASURES
