Resumen
Diversos estudios han demostrado la relación entre la inteligencia emocional y el rendimiento académico, del mismo modo que otros muchos han encontrado una relación positiva entre el empoderamiento y el rendimiento de los estudiantes. Sin embargo, pocos estudios han examinado la influencia recíproca entre ambas variables de empoderamiento e inteligencia emocional, aspecto que puede resultar de interés al tratarse de constructos estrechamente relacionados que determinan en gran medida la eficacia de los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Por ello, el propósito de este estudio es determinar si existe influencia entre el empoderamiento y la inteligencia emocional en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios y analizar si esta influencia actúa a través de alguno de los factores que componen esta segunda variable. Los resultados muestran que el empoderamiento no sólo influye directamente en el
nivel de inteligencia emocional, sino también indirectamente a través de factores emocionales. Estos hallazgos contribuyen a mejorar
el diseño de programas de intervención socioeducativa dirigidos al desarrollo de ambas competencias.
