The Extent related of Emotional Intelligence Levels with Achievement Motivation in University Students

Abstract

     The present study aimed to reveal the relationship between levels of emotional intelligence and achievement motivation in university students. Emotional intelligence Degree were divided into three levels (low, average, high). The members of the sample were selected from the students of Akli Mohand Oulhadj University in Bouira (Algeria) and the sample contained 99 students (male and female). The tools in this study are: The Emotional Intelligence Scale (prepared by Abdel Moneim Al-Dardir, 2002), and the Achievement Motivation Test for Adults (prepared by H.J.M. Hermans, 1970). As for the approach adopted, we chose the descriptive approach, and the results led to the following:

• There is a weak, negative and not statistically significant correlation between the low emotional intelligence and achievement motivation among university students.


• There is a weak, positive and statistically significant correlation between average level of emotional intelligence and achievement motivation among university students.


• There is a strong, positive, and statistically significant correlation between the high emotional intelligence and achievement motivation among university students.
