The present research analyzed the relationship between EI, teamwork communication, and job satisfaction among Spanish military cadets. We tested the potential unique contribution of EI to job satisfaction over and above demographics (i.e., gender and age), proactive personality, and resilience. Moreover, we also examined whether EI was indirectly linked to job satisfaction via its relationship with teamwork communication. A sample of 363 cadet officers of the Spanish General Military Academy completed questionnaires assessing EI, teamwork communication, proactive personality, resilience, and job satisfaction. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that EI exhibited incremental variance (ΔR2 = 5.2%) in predicting job satisfaction (B = 0.539, 95% CI [0.306,0.771]) even after accounting for demographics, proactive personality, and resilience. Additionally, mediation analysis showed that the association of EI with job satisfaction was partially driven by enhanced teamwork communication. This research provides empirical evidence suggesting a pathway (i.e., effective teamwork communication) through which EI could help military cadets to experience higher job satisfaction. Implications for future academic programs including EI and teamwork communication to promote positive job attitudes among military personnel are discussed. 000133313 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000133313 590__ $$a2.99$$b2020 000133313 591__ $$aPSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY$$b42 / 138 = 0.304$$c2020$$dQ2$$eT1 000133313 592__ $$a0.946$$b2020 000133313 593__ $$aPsychology (miscellaneous)$$c2020$$dQ2 000133313 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000133313 700__ $$aNavarro-Carrillo, Ginés 000133313 700__ $$aExtremera, Natalio 000133313 700__ $$aLozano, Luis Miguel 000133313 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-4143-6973$$aGarcía-Guiu, Carlos 000133313 700__ $$aRoldán-Bravo, María Isabel 000133313 700__ $$aRuiz-Moreno, Antonia 000133313 773__ $$g11 (2020), 875 [9 pp.]$$pFront. psychol.$$tFrontiers in Psychology$$x1664-1078 000133313 8564_ $$s210872$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/133313/files/texto_completo.pdf$$yVersión publicada 000133313 8564_ $$s2406810$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/133313/files/texto_completo.jpg?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yVersión publicada 000133313 909CO $$ooai:zaguan.unizar.es:133313$$particulos$$pdriver 000133313 951__ $$a2024-04-10-08:39:20 000133313 980__ $$aARTICLE
