Data were gathered from sixty undergraduate students who enrolled in management program in a selected public university in Bangkok, Thailand through a survey questionnaire. Modified versions of Tromsø Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS) and The Political Skill Inventory were employed for data collection. Results demonstrated no significant correlation between overall social intelligence and overall political skill. However, when considered social intelligence sub-scales, this study found that social information process was positively correlated to political skill at an intermediate level while social awareness had an intermediate negative connection to political skill. Analysis of multiple regressions indicated that three sub-scales of social intelligence: social information process, social skills, and social awareness could explain 57.3% of variance to political skill (R<sup>2</sup> = .573, F (3, 60) = 25.056, p &lt;.01). Nevertheless, only social information process and social awareness were significant predictors. In short, findings revealed that social information process (? = .423) significantly influenced political skill, as did social awareness (? = -.489).</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Dr. Chaiyaset Promsri Copyright (c) 0 http://innovativejournal.in/index.php/assj/article/view/2630 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 00:00:00 +0000
