Abstract :
<p><p>&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;This explanatory study tested a model within individual context the relationship among emotional intelligence,&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;div&amp;gt;transformational leadership behaviour as well as the impact towards job performance. A total of 306 respondents i.e&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &amp;lt;div&amp;gt;132=Male; 174=Female from the educator leader in High School Performance (SBT) was participated in this study. Using&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &amp;lt;div&amp;gt;a structured questionnaire consist of three sets of questionnaire in order to measure emotional intelligence (Emotional Competence Inventory)&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &amp;lt;div&amp;gt;(ECI),transformational leadership behaviour (Multi&amp;amp;ndash;factor leadership questionnaire) (MLQ) and job performance were administered. The model&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &amp;lt;div&amp;gt;was tested using Structural Equation Modelling; an acceptable level of model fit was found. It shows that the model fit indices demonstrates&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &amp;lt;div&amp;gt;TLI (Tucker&amp;amp;ndash;Lewis Index), NFI (Normed Fit Index), RFI (Relative Fit Index), IFI (Incremental Fit Index) and CFI (Comparative Fit Index) are more&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &amp;lt;div&amp;gt;than .90 (from .941 until .979), RMSEA (Root Mean Square Error of Approximation) also shows 0.070 (RMSEA &amp;amp;lt;. 08) (Byrne, 2001). These values&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &amp;lt;div&amp;gt;indicate an adequate fit and it&amp;amp;rsquo;s obviously met the basic requirement of model fit. The values of the Chi&amp;amp;ndash;Squared Roots Goodness of Fit also&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &amp;lt;div&amp;gt;show 2.509, below 3. Therefore, the model is significantly fit and supportsthe data. SEM analysis shows that emotional intelligence is positively&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &amp;lt;div&amp;gt;related to transformational leadership behaviour, and transformational leadership behaviour has a significant and positive relationship with&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &amp;lt;div&amp;gt;job performance. On a practical note, the assessment of psychological constructs in school setting eg; EQ and leadership behavior could possibly&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &amp;lt;div&amp;gt;assist in enhancing the work performances in delivering huge benefits to the society especially in the educational contexts&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;</p></p>
