This study aimed at investigating the relationship between critical thinking with emotional intelligence and creativity among elementary school principals in Bojnord. The research method was descriptive. Simple random sampling method was used and the sample included 47 public elementary school principals in Bojnoord. Critical thinking skills were measured in five subgroups by California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST), emotional intelligence was measured by Shering's emotional intelligence questionnaire and creativity was measured by using Rand Sip creativity questionnaire. Data was analyzed by SPSS software and descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and t-test. The results indicated that there is a positive significant correlation between critical thinking and emotional intelligence among principals (r=385%, p=0.008%) suggesting that by increasing every dimensions of evaluation, inference, inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning, emotional intelligence increases too. It was also found that among five subscales of critical thinking, only analysis didn't have a significant correlation with emotional intelligence. The findings also indicated that there was a significant positive correlation between critical thinking and creativity among principals (p=%47, r=%294) suggesting that by increasing every dimensions of analysis, evaluation, inference, inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning, creativity increases too.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of emotional intelligence (EI) and achievement motivation (AM) on elementary school principals’ leadership styles. This study investigates the contribution of EI and AM on the two major leadership categories: the task-oriented and relationship-oriented leadership. Design/methodology/approach This paper is a quantitative study with the implementation of correlation and hierarchical regression analysis. The surveys (i.e. EI scale, AM scale, leadership style questionnaire) were sent randomly to 280 elementary school principals in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, and 90 of them completed the survey (mostly male=77.78 percent). Findings Principals’ EI significantly predicted both task-oriented and relationship-oriented leadership. In contrast, the principals’ AM yielded non-significant results in predicting both task-oriented and relationship-oriented leadership style. The results also suggested that the effect of EI on two major leadership styles (i.e. task- and relationship-orientation) outperformed the leader’s AM. Research limitations/implications This study did not consider the principals’ performance in the analysis. Future studies should also address this issue by considering leadership performance as well as different culture and context. On the other hand, the authors developed new measures rather than using preexisting measures. Although the measures have been constructed according to the scale construction principles and reached an acceptable standard, future research should advance the psychometric property of the scales. Originality/value This study discusses the effect of EI and AM on task- and relationship-orientation leadership. In addition, this study has also brought a new insight into understanding leadership styles in collective culture such as Indonesia.
