Teacher's Emotional Intelligence and Job Performance: The Mediating Roles of Work-family enrichment and Active Behaviors

This study used data collected from a sample of 630 primary and secondary school teachers to explore the relations among emotional intelligence,work-family enrichment,active behaviors and job performance. Results of the latent structure equation modeling showed( 1) significant positive correlations existed between emotional intelligence,work-to-family enrichment,family-to-work enrichment,active behaviors and job performance;( 2) teacher's emotional intelligence could directly predict job performance,as well as family-to-work enrichment and active behaviors mediated the associations between teacher's emotional intelligence and job performance;( 3) EIspecific models found some emotional intelligence differences among teachers. Family-to-work enrichment played a partly intermediary role in low emotional intelligence and job performance,while family-to-work enrichment and active behaviors completely mediated high emotional intelligence and job performance;( 4) work-to-family enrichment didn't reveal a significant prediction on job performance.
