ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

After almost a year of hard work, commitment, patience, and

frustrations, the researchers can now appreciate the fruit of their

labor. In spite of the fact that each of them had their own

shortcomings to address apart from the need to fulfill the demands

set by making the thesis, they were still able to overcome these

tribulations and therefore, were able to set their minds and hearts

toward a common goal; hence, the fulfillment of the research.

This roller-coaster ride had led the researchers to shaping

and molding themselves as persons. The ups and downs of the

process of making this paper made them strong enough to have a firm

stand for the things they knew were right yet humble enough to

accept criticisms and open enough to be corrected for their mistakes.

Nevertheless, this journey wouldn't be possible without the help

of these great people who unconditionally gave their time and effort to

impart to them their knowledge and expertise in making an ideal

thesis. The following are the people who served as the foundation of

this paper:

To the parents of the researchers, for giving them enough

resources, accommodations, and funds, for the general welfare and

fulfillment of the study. Most of all, the researchers would want to

send their deepest thanks and appreciation for their unconditional

love;

To MJSD, the researchers' nursing level coordinator and

statistician for giving them his personal insights with the study. His

organize and timely manner of doing things relative to their paper

made the process smoother and less difficult;

To RMP, the researchers' former adviser for imparting with

them all of his expertise in making a good paper and for sharing with

them all his experiences in communicating his previous researches.

Truly, his contributions had led the paper to its success;

To CVDR, the researchers' adviser for giving with them all his

technical knowledge and expertise to the construction of the general

paper and the making of the final chapters of the thesis;

To JAAR, the researchers' NURES II professor for giving her

prudent and constructive criticisms in light with her knowledge and

credible experience in making a paper. Truly, her intellectual

appraisal of the researchers' paper played a big part for them to be

focused on the things that matter most;

To ALPO, guidance head officer of Our Lady of Fatima

University for giving us the permission to utilize and disseminate the

BarOn EQi tool;

To MVA, guidance counselor of Our Lady of Fatima University

for patiently explaining the technicalities of the BarOn EQi tool;

To MB, the university's pychometrist and his co-workers, for

accommodating the researchers to their office and teaching them the

whole process of computing for the BarOn EQi data;

To all the other anonymous persons in the academe who helped

the researchers in every way they could in order to accomplish the

paper, our sweetest thanks!

Of course, apart from the academe persons, the researchers

wanted to extend their full and deepest gratitude to their friends,

classmates, and former classmates who gave their scholarly insights

relative to the construction and final touches of the whole paper.

To VC, a friend of the principal author for sharing her

intellectual evaluation of the paper. Her best intentions and

constructive criticisms in terms of the grammatical organization had

lessen the burden of the researchers;

To PD, a friend of the principal author for giving her honest

opinion on the lacking and dull areas of the paper. Her brutal yet

true appraisal motivated the researchers to further the

accomplishment of the paper;

To MF, EJ, and A the principal author's siblings for helping the

researchers in the agonizing process of data tallying;

Yet, none of these things would be fulfilled without the divine

guidance, grace, and love of the Almighty God. All of the happy

moments and accomplishments along with the tribulations and

frustrations that the researchers had experienced were all willed by

Him.

As stated in the book of Ecclesiastes, there is a time for

everything... As true as it is, the time has come for the researchers to

rejoice for the fulfillment of the research.

The time has also come to give all the praises and glory back to

Him who made everything in accordance to His will.

To this very moment, the researchers truly believe that one of

their purposes in life was fulfilled as to the accomplishment of the

study.

Abstract

In light with determination of several variables that can

potentially and actually affect the nurses clinical performance the

researchers arrived at testing the impact of EQ relative to competency

of the nurses' performance in their workplace. Moreover, for practical

and economic reasons, the study was also conducted to determine the

relationship of a person's EQ to their color preference. The study used

a quantitative approach. Results were extracted from the responses of

30 Filipino nurses in the selected tertiary hospital. Thence, the study

quantified two different sets of variables: (1) EQ to color preference

and (2) EQ to clinical performance. The whole endeavor arrived at a

conclusion that EQ is not a favorable tool in determining the

competency of nurses in their workplace. Similarly, results reveal that

no strong evidence links the EQ to color preference. Hence, it is

conclusive that no single factor can be a determinant of the other.

Keywords:Emotional Quotient (EQ), Color Preference, Clinical

Performance
