Finding Out How Job Satisfaction Affects Teacher Performance Through Emotional Intelligence and Competence
Keywords:
Teacher Performance, Emotional Intelligence, Competence, Job Satisfaction.Abstract
This study aims to examine the direct and indirect effects of emotional intelligence and competence on teacher performance, with job satisfaction as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach was conducted through a survey of 200 high school teachers in Indonesia, and the data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS. The results indicate that emotional intelligence and competence have a positive and significant effect on both teacher performance and job satisfaction; however, job satisfaction does not mediate the relationship between emotional intelligence or competence and teacher performance. These findings emphasize the importance of enhancing emotional intelligence and professional competence through structured training and development programs as effective strategies to improve teacher performance, while job satisfaction, although important for teacher well-being, does not play a mediating role in this context.
