Relationship between emotional intelligence and cultural intelligence, social capital, job satisfaction and organizational commitment: A study in the education sector

The main purpose of the study is to examine the effect of teachers' emotional and cultural intelligence level on job satisfaction and organizational commitment and to determine whether this effect differs through social capital. Emotional and cultural intelligence, independent variables of the model, job satisfaction and organizational commitment are dependent variables. In addition, the mediating role social capital in inter-variable relationships was questioned. The findings of the research were obtained in line with the information obtained from the teachers working in Istanbul in the 2018-2019 academic year. The collected data were tested using the SPSS program and SmartPLS under Structural Equation Modeling. The most striking findins of this study are the absence of any effect of emotional and cultural intelligence on the job satisfaction dependent variable. When organizational commitment, which is the key dependent variable of the study, is examined, it is seen that the dimensions of emotion regulation and motivational cultural intelligence have a significant effect on the dimensions of affective commitment and continuance commitment. Social capital has a direct and significant impact on organizational commitment. When examining the effects of emotional intelligence and cultural intelligence on organizational commitment, it is observed that social capital doesn't have an effect as a mediator.
