Abstract Details

2017, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Agricultural and Extension Education.
The purpose of the study was to describe the change in awareness, perception of importance, and intention to practice new skills of team emotional intelligence (EQ) with selected Ohio State University Extension teams by implementing a team assessment and a group feedback session. Two programmatic teams and one County Extension office team participated in this exploratory research study. Participants completed a pre-test, TESI® 2.0 Assessment, feedback session and a post-test. Analysis revealed an overall increase in emotional intelligence awareness. This implies that it is possible to increase the awareness of team EQ by assessment and workshop. Results were more mixed for perception of importance of Team EQ, with only a few areas showing significant change. Teams may have already viewed emotional intelligence as important in the pre-test and therefore due to small group size, there was limited opportunity to reach significance. Teams A and B already ranked the importance of emotional intelligence domains at 5 or above on a 6-point scale and team C ranked means at least a 4 or above. Finally, all team members showed some intention to practice new EQ skills but only 71% (Team A), 86% (Team B) and 45% (Team C) could provide a specific item they planned to change. This implies that a more concentrated coaching workshop will be needed to strengthen results. More research is needed to show the impact of team EQ assessment and feedback workshops.
