H.However,injobsthatinvolvedfeweremotionaldemands,theresultsreversed.Themoreemotionallyintelligentemployeeswere,thelowertheirjobperformance.Formechanics,scientists,andaccountants,emotionalintelligencewasadisadvantageratherthananasset.Althoughmoreresearchisneededtounpacktheseresults,onepromisingexplanationisthattheseemployeeswerepayingattentiontoemotionswhentheyshouldhavebeenfocusingontheirtasks.Ifyourjobistoanalyzedataorrepaircars,itcanbequitedistractingtoreadthefacialexpressions,vocaltones,andbodylanguagesofthepeoplearoundyou.Insuggestingthatemotionalintelligenceiscriticalintheworkplace,perhapswe'veputthecartbeforethehorse(本末倒置).
