Abstract
This study is done during the second year of the global pandemic, COVID-19. Health workers in a private hospital located in Region IVA-Calabarzon, Philippines, specifically, the existing relationship between their emotional intelligence and work values are the focus of the study. Through purposive sampling techniques, 105 respondents were identified. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were utilized to determine the level and relationship between the variables presented. The needed data to measure the variables were gathered through the Know Your EQ: Emotional Quotient Test developed by Dr. Dalip Singh and Dr. NK Chadha and; the Work Values Inventory (WVI) developed by Donald Super. The hypothesis was tested by analyzing the relationship among the variables by utilizing the Pearson Product Moment Correlation (r). Results reveal that respondents' overall emotional intelligence was measured to be extremely high; in terms of its domains, they were likewise assessed as extremely high in emotional competency, and high in their emotional maturity and sensitivity. Healthcare workers scored high among the 15 domains of work values; whereas altruism, achievement, and surroundings scored the highest while management, independence, and variety scored the lowest yet still interpreted as high. The emotional sensitivity as a domain of emotional intelligence has a positive moderate and significant relationship with work values domains of supervisory relations, altruism, and achievement, and way of life. Emotional maturity as a domain of emotional intelligence, has a significant positive moderate to weak relationship with variety and management domains of work values. Emotional competency, as a domain of emotional intelligence, has a positive moderate, and significant relationship with variety, achievement, management, surrounding, creativity, security, prestige, and altruism domains of work values.
