The study concluded that majority of the respondents are female, aged 18-25 years old, single, college graduates, currently working for more than 6 months less than a year and are waitresses. They have a high level of emotional intelligence as they can greatly direct their emotions to positive performance and have distinct self-awareness that they understand their own feelings and emotions.
