It pays to have an eye for emotions: Emotion recognition ability indirectly predicts annual income
研究通过142组员工-同事-主管数据发现，情绪识别能力通过政治技能和人际促进间接影响年收入，表明情绪能力有助于在组织中获取经济成功。
Summary This study integrates the emotion and social influence literatures to examine how emotion recognition ability (ERA) relates to annual income. In a sample of 142 employee–peer–supervisor triads from a broad range of jobs and organizations, we find that people's level of ERA indirectly relates to how much they earn per year. The relationship between ERA and annual income is mediated sequentially through political skill and interpersonal facilitation. The results imply that emotional abilities allow people not only to process affect‐laden information effectively but also to use this information to successfully navigate the social world of organizations in the pursuit of prosperity.
