From the author: This study investigated the empirical relationships among managerial linear and nonlinear thinking styles and the four branches of Mayer and Salovey's (1997) emotional intelligence model. Also tested was the moderating effect of emotional labor on the relationship between balanced linear/nonlinear thinking style and affective organizational commitment. Data from 93 managers demonstrated that: (1) linear thinking is associated with regulating emotions; (2) nonlinear thinking is related to utilizing emotions to facilitate thinking; and (3) balanced linear/nonlinear thinking is associated with overall emotional intelligence. Furthermore, emotional labor interacted with balanced linear/nonlinear thinking to explain unique variance in affective organizational commitment. Implications for theory, practice, and future research are discussed.
