The effect of emotional intelligence on nurses’ job performance: the mediating role of moral intelligence and occupational stress
Moral and emotional intelligence should be key criteria for selecting nursing staff and managers to create a safe, low-stress environment that boosts nurses' job performance. Healthcare managers should promote nurses' emotional intelligence by offering practical courses for enhancing nurses' self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management skills. It is essential to support moral intelligence by organizing educational classes that improve their integrity, responsibility, compassion, and forgiveness.
