| This study aims to explore the association between emotional intelligence and job performance amongst academic administrators in Malaysia. The data was collected by using questionnaires and descriptive statistic was employed to investigate the strength of the linear relationship between emotional intelligence and performance. Results obtained from surveying a sample of 196 academic administrators showed that emotional intelligence positively correlated with job performance. It is argued that the higher level of emotional intelligence predicts the learning establishments. The results indicate that to boost emotional intelligence among academic administrators, several contributing social factors are affected, such as developing a new cohort of highly-competent emotionally skilled administrators who can manage changeable situations at higher intelligence in the higher education. The article implies that predisposition of emotional intelligent support educational administrators regarding their selection and recruitment across higher learning institutions. |
