Summary

Introduction

School is a social institution for the development of human resources, which is needed for nation-building For this reason, the process of education in schools must continue to be improved along with the greater global challenges in the era of globalization in the 21st century (Syafaruddin, 2008). The teachers are required to have intellectual abilities so that the material is understood by students through an effective learning process (Hendriani and Lestari, 2013). The ability to transfer knowledge is part of the intellectual property of the teachers. It was stated again by Hendriani and Lestari (2013) that intellectual ability is not enough to indicate the level of one's intelligence. This research wants to answer whether it is true that emotional intelligence has an impact on teacher performance
