    La investigación sobre emociones en el ámbito laboral se ha convertido en un ámbito de estudio muy importante. El análisis de la contribución de la Inteligencia Emocional (IE) en este ámbito es fundamental. Sin embargo, la IE se ha estudiado sobre todo desde una perspectiva individual, por lo que es necesario incorporar análisis grupales, así como comparaciones entre culturas. Por ello, es necesario que se desarrollen y adapten medidas de tipo grupal en distintos idiomas. En este trabajo, analizamos la fiabilidad y validez de la versión en español de la Escala de Inteligencia Emocional en Grupos de Trabajo-Versión reducida (Work Group Emotional Intelligence Profile-Short version (WEIP-S) en una muestra de 332 trabajadores pertenecientes a 53 grupos de trabajo. En resumen, nuestra versión del WEIP-S replica la estructura factorial de la escala original y cuenta con una fiabilidad adecuada. Además, su relación con otras variables criterio son similares a las de la versión inglesa australiana. Esta versión española del WEIP-S nos ofrece un buen instrumento para analizar la IE en grupos y para poder realizar comparaciones entre culturas

    Research on emotions in the workplace has recently developed into a major field. The study and contribution of Emotional Intelligence (EI) to this area has been fundamental. However, EI has been predominantly studied from an individual perspective, and group level studies as well as comparisons among cultures are necessary. Thus, the development and adaptation of group measures to other languages is needed. In this study, we examine the reliability and validity of the Spanish version of the Work Group Emotional Intelligence Profile-Short version (WEIP-S) in a sample of 332 employees from 53 work groups. In summary, our Spanish version of the WEIP-S replicates the factor structure and has an adequate reliability rating, and the relations with other criterion variables were similar to those of the Australian English version. This Spanish version of the WEIP-S provides us with a good instrument to further analyze EI in groups and to promote the comparison of these variables among cultures.
