This study uses an explanatory model of the dimensions of leadership and emotional intelligence according to the methods used in particular teaching environments (universities and other educational institutions). The effect of different kinds of leadership on emotional intelligence dimensions is also established using an explanatory model. A total of 954 teachers participated in this cross-sectional study, teaching in 137 different schools/universities. The instruments used for the data collection were the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ-5) and the Trait Meta Mood Scale (TMMS-24). Data analysis was performed with the software IBM AMOS 23.0. (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, USA) using multi-group analysis and structural equations. Results showed that the structural equation model had a good fit. Transformational leadership depends mainly on intellectual stimulation in university teachers, whereas intrinsic motivation is more relevant at the lower educational levels. In relation to transactional leadership, contingency reward has a greater regression weight in non-university education, whereas passive leadership is governed more by passive exception in university teachers. There was a positive and direct relationship between levels of emotional intelligence and transformational leadership in non-university teachers, which reveals the need for effective understanding and management of both one’s own and students’ emotions in order to act effectively as a leader. Transactional leadership was negatively related to some emotional intelligence dimensions, given the relevance of obtaining power in this dimension.

We examined the impacts of emotional intelligence and self-leadership on coping with stress, and assessing the mediating roles that positive affect and self-efficacy play in this process. Participants were 575 students at 2 Chinese universities, who completed measures of coping with stress, self-leadership, emotional intelligence, self-efficacy, and positive affect. The structural equation model analysis results indicated that self-efficacy fully mediated the relationship between emotional intelligence and active coping, as we had predicted. Further, self-leadership had a direct effect on active coping. However, positive affect and self-efficacy did not mediate the relationship between self-leadership and coping with stress. Implications are discussed in terms of theoretical contributions and interventions for coping with stress.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of organizational learning, market orientation, and transformational leadership on the organizational innovation and firm’s performance amongst the firms performing in Turkey. Using LISREL, structural equation-model, the data gathered from 330 employees were used to identify the variables that significantly affect the firm’s performance. The results indicated that 32% of firm’s performance is explained by the organizational innovation and market orientation, and organizational innovation has the strongest effect. However, organizational learning has no substantial effect on firm’s performance, and transformational leadership is also found to have an insignificant impact on the organizational innovation.

The study relies on the assumption that one of the main effects of phycological empowerment composed by attributes like self-esteem, locus of control, and assertiveness, is increased autonomy. The theoretical arguments are tested based on a structural equation model that allows estimating hypothetical relationships simultaneously. Additionally, differences in means between women and men are estimated for each phycological variable and the hypothetical model is tested separately to both sexes. 1,569 people (56% women) from five Mexican States compose the sample. The average age is 29 years and 59% of the sample has college degrees. The results suggest that psychological empowerment is strongly related to autonomy.   How to cite this article: Muñoz-Márquez, C. E., Morales Barrera, R., & Domínguez Espinosa, A. del C. (2021).

This research conducted to confirm the effect of Task-Technology Fit (TTF), transformational leadership, and job satisfaction on employee performance. The study was conducted on 15 KPPN as an agency of the Directorate General of Treasury, Ministry of Finance in East Java, Indonesia with the method of saturated samples (census) to 412 employees with a Likert scale of five points. Structural Equation Model (SEM) approach used and finally 216 questionnaires processed with AMOS ver. 26. The findings confirm if Task-Technology Fit (TTF), transformational leadership, and job satisfaction have a significant effect on employee performance and job satisfaction as partial mediation in the model.

La relevancia de las emociones en la enseñanza es ahora un aspecto ampliamente estudiado, aunque se está deliberando sobre la forma en que los docentes pueden identificar, regular y controlar sus emociones, el estudio propone cómo se puede incorporar la inteligencia emocional en la enseñanza mediante las competencias para lograr un mejor desempeño docente. Se utilizó la técnica de la encuesta recopilando datos de 244 docentes universitarios a través de un cuestionario mediante el muestreo aleatorio simple. Los datos se han analizado mediante el modelado de ruta utilizando el enfoque de mínimos cuadrados parciales (PLS) del modelo de ecuaciones estructurales SEM con el software SmartPLS 3.3.0, los hallazgos revelaron que el modelo tiene un impacto significativo en el desempeño docente, los coeficientes de determinación fueron; habilidades del docente (r2=0.703) actitud del docente (r2=0.661), conocimientos del docente (r2=0.648) y para el desempeño del docente (r2=0.733). con un error cuadrático medio de aproximación (SRMR) de 0.056 que hace relevante el modelo confirmatorio. Por lo tanto, se demostró estadísticamente que la inteligencia emocional tiene un fuerte impacto en las competencias de los docentes, lo que a su vez contribuye en el desempeño del docente universitario. The relevance of emotions in teaching is now a widely studied aspect, although the way in which teachers can carry out, regulate and control their emotions is being discussed, the study proposes how emotional intelligence can be incorporated into teaching through the competences to achieve better teaching performance. The survey technique was used, collecting data from 244 university teachers through a questionnaire using simple random sampling. The data has been analyzed using partial least squares path modeling (PLS), approach of the SEM structural equation model with the SmartPLS 3.3.0 software, the findings revealed that the model has a significant impact on teaching performance, the determination coefficients were; teacher skills (r2 = 0.703) teacher attitude (r2 = 0.661), teacher knowledge (r2 = 0.648) and for teacher performance (r2 = 0.733). with a root mean square error of approximation (SRMR) of 0.056 that makes the confirmatory model relevant. Therefore, it was statistically demonstrated that emotional intelligence has a strong impact on teachers' competences, which in turn contributes to the professor performance.
