EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND PERSONALITY TRAITS OF FILIPINOSEFARERS AND THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARDS WORK ENVIRONMENT

Aamodth and Raynes (2001) described that factors like heredity, external environment, and person-situation interaction influence the personality of a person. The relationship between personality and attitude has been a subject of many researches and discussions in the various sectors of the society.

From this perspective, it can be said that the attitude of a person may have bearing on his emotional intelligence and personality. Pertirdes, Pita, Kokkinaki (2007) described this connection whenthey pointed out that self-report emotional intelligence measures and personality measures converge because they both intend to measure personality traits.
