Finally, the authors presented the implications of such a practice and the provided insight on further research in EI training. The topic is very instrumental in this scenario, because it helps to expand on EI especially, whereby a workforce is lacking EI.

This journal mainly focuses on efficiency of EI trainings, it is relevant because it can be utilized to complement the first source that focused on whether EI training is possible.

That is why the authors performed a meta-analysis through going through 24 studies that mainly focused on EI healthy adults. The results established that the efficiency of EI training different on different scales, the EI model affected the efficiency and the dimensions of the four-branch model of EI also affected the efficiency. At the end of the research, one conclusive statement made is that “EI training should be considered effective interventions.” The depth of the article is sufficiently comprehensive, there are no deviations, and the article remains on establishing the efficiency of EI trainings. This research will fit in the literature review because it talks about that one aspect that is important about EI, and it is establishing its efficiency. At the same time, it complements the first source which also focuses on EI training.
