The study of emotional intelligence (EI) in work environments is a trending topic. However,
few studies have examined the relationship between EI and salary. Therefore, the presented research
aims to analyze the influence of EI on salary using a multioccupational sample. The participants
were 785 subjects aged between 18 and 58 years (M = 39.41; SD = 10.95). EI ability was measured
using the Mobile Emotional Intelligence Test (MEIT), while the salary was collected together with
other sociodemographic variables in a questionnaire created ad hoc. After controlling for the age,
gender, social class, educational level, and work experience variables, the results of correlation and
regression analysis showed that participants with higher EI and emotional-repair capacity generally
have higher salary. These findings provide preliminary evidence that EI is a relevant variable in
achieving career success. The ability to channel and manage emotions could help employees develop
stronger interpersonal relationships, leading to higher positions and greater financial compensation. [-]
