Abstract

One of the important processes in research is to ensure that the questionnaire is reliable and valid. Based on previous research, the psychometric properties of the measurement for emotional intelligence and cohesion of workgroup are not widely tested by using the sample in the context of sports. Hence, the main objective of this study is to test the reliability and validity measurement for emotional intelligence and cohesion of workgroup among football players. The research method is quantitative where questionnaire form is used to conduct the study. The questionnaire is consisting of Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale (SEIS) and Group Cohesiveness Scale. The sample of this study is 252 football players that plays for Premier League and Super League. The data was analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software version 26. As result, the score of Cronbach Alpha for SEIS is 0.816 while for Group Cohesiveness Scale, the score of Cronbach Alpha is 0.778. Hence, in terms of reliability, the findings show that all items are in high reliability. Meanwhile, in terms of validity, the results show that all items are very beneficial which are strongly valid. As conclusion, the result of this study will be one of the sources of reference for future researchers that interested to use the measurement of emotional intelligence and cohesion of workgroup especially in the context of sports.
