The article aimed at evaluating of existing data about emotional intelligence as a factor predicting real-word success. The main arguments for hypothesis about the role of emotional intelligence in human life are presented in the paper along with the review of empirical works concerning its relations with psychological well-being, health, social functioning and adjustment, school achievements, and job performance. Some data suggesting that excessive isolated emotional abilities may have an adverse impact are also mentioned. In the final part of the paper some moderators of emotional intelligence's influence are discussed; here the role of emotional self-efficacy is emphasized. Reviewed data suggest that validity of emotional intelligence as a predictor of real-word functioning and achievements depends on the other personal characteristics of the individual as well as on the situational features.
