Modeling the mediating roles of self-directed learning and knowledge management processes between emotional intelligence and learning outcomes in higher education.

<h4>Objective</h4>Drawing on the knowledge-based view and ability-based theories of emotional intelligence (EI), in this study, we investigate the effects of EI on learning outcomes related to academics and administrators in Chinese research universities and we also test the direct assoc...
