A. This study verified that team members’ emotional intelligence significantly
affected team members’ intention and dedication to share knowledge for better team
performance.
This result was similar to those conclusions of Nancy’s (2000) and Cummings’
(2002) research projects, which all revealed that team members’ recognition and
intentions were the dominant factor of promptly delivering immediate information
and sharing expertise to team partners for achievement enhancement. As Rosete and
Ciarrochi (2005) concluded, sociable team members with a high quality of emotional
intelligence usually developed a pleasant team atmosphere, which favorably
encouraged members to share their work experience and on-going information, and
to achieve comparatively high performance.
