Ashkanasy and Daus (2002) suggest that emotional intelligence is distinct but positively related to other types of intelligence like IQ. ABA centers on using tactics like positive reinforcement to encourage positive behaviors, like communication, hygiene, and motor skills, and discourage negative behaviors. The most widely adopted model of personality is the so-called Big Five (Costa & McCrae, 1992): extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness.

This is because emotions are caused by a specific event that might only last a few seconds, while moods are general and can last for hours or even days.

Specific topics covered include cognition, decision-making, learning,.

More contemporary theories of motivation, with more acceptable research validity, include self-determination theory, which holds that people prefer to have control over their actions. Organizational climate has been found to facilitate and/or inhibit displays of certain behaviors in one study (Smith-Crowe, Burke, & Landis, 2003), and overall, organizational climate is often viewed as a surface-level indicator of the functioning of the employee/organizational environment relationship (Ryan, Horvath, Ployhart, Schmitt, & Slade, 2000).
