Cote and Miners, Administrative Science Quarterly 51(1), 2006, 1-28. Employees completed intelligence tests and supervisors rated task performance and citizenship behaviour; a compensatory model was supported in which the link between emotional intelligence and performance becomes more positive as cognitive intelligence decreases, for task performance and organisation-directed citizenship behaviour but not individual-directed citizenship behaviour.
