The effect of EI on project success and performance in an organizational environment is still imperfectly confirmed and is awaited for investigation (Mayer 2006; Jena and Pradhan 2015).
However, there currently exist little data on the effect of EI on academic performance in medical education.
The independent effect of EI on academic performance was more prevalent in final-year final examination marks.
In the present study, the supported model of partial mediation, i.e. only a part of the total effect of EI on JS is due to SA, is not surprising as EI is also considered to have a direct effect on JS.
H1a: EI is positively related to JS H1b: Gender may moderate the positive effect of EI on JS During interpersonal transactions, service employees are frequently involved in the process of emotional labor, i.e. amplifying, suppressing or faking emotions to comply with organizationally desired rules and complex role demands [ 25- 28].
With the report of high levels of stress and anxiety among the medical students and the positive effect of EI on academic performance in this and other studies [ 41], future prospective and intervention studies with emotional training programs are needed to confirm these findings [ 45, 46].
According to previous studies, females are more likely to experience job dissatisfaction when engaged in SA [ 39]; on the other hand, the effect of EI on JS may be fully mediated by positive and negative affect for men but partially for women [ 13].

The effects of EI and the disease containment strategy, like the horse industry itself, were varied and wide-ranging; impacting differentially on horse owners and those involved with the horse industry nationally.
In the case of simple mediation, indirect effects equal the product of two unstandardized regression coefficients, one representing the effect of EI (independent variable) on EL (mediator), and the other representing the effect of EL (mediator) on JS (dependent variable) controlling for EL [ 51].
