DATA ANALYSIS
Structural equation modelling (SEM) has become the most popular
statistical method to analyse multivariate data. The research intention
was to determine the affiliation between construct of emotional
intelligence (EI) and job performance (JP), mediated by idealised
influence (II) and the emotional intelligence as a construct is formative
in nature. Using PLS-SEM is appropriate in this research, as emotional
intelligence is a reflective-formative higher-order construct, in which
all four dimensions of emotional intelligence are conceptually
necessary to form emotional intelligence (Agnihotri et al., 2014).
Meanwhile, idealised influence and job performance are reflective
constructs, as the items are not dependent on each other. As such,
the measurement model testing for reflective indicators was initiated
because the research model has reflective and formative indicators.
The measurement items related to the constructs were tested by
examining the convergent and discriminant validity. In addition, the
construct validity was also tested. Secondly, the measurement model
for formative indicators was tested using multicollinearity and R2
statistics. Finally, the structural model was established by analysing
all path linkages.

Table 2 indicates a VIF value of 4.02 for OEA and 4.01 for ROE. SEL
and UOE recorded values of 3.28 and 4.23, respectively. Finally, the
inner VIF value for second order of emotional intelligence is 3.75.
Therefore, the VIF values for first and second orders indicate no
collinearity problems in this research. To measure the reliability of the
results, Cronbach Alpha, Rho_A and Composite Reliability measures
are used.

The results of reliability test have shown that all variables are greater
than 0.7. Ghozali (2014) recommended that the reliability tests have
values of more than 0.7 to meet reliability requirements. The results
meet the requirement and considered as reliable. Discriminant validity
was performed to establish that all the constructs are distinct to each
other. Discriminant validity is a problem when the HTMT value is
greater than 0.85 (Kline, 2011) or 0.90 (Gold et al., 2001).
Table 3 clearly shows that all construct values were less than 0.85.
Hence, this research indicates discriminant validity between all the
constructs and most of the items are distinct.
