Abstract

The phenomena of school leadership and emotional intelligence have been object of increased interest and debate to scientific community, meaning a strong need to understand how they can affect school’s performance. Regarding school leaders’ emotional intelligence characteristics, this investigation attempts to establish further understandings on the degree of association concerning school leaders’ emotional intelligence and school leaders’ effectiveness, according to the Portuguese ministerial education inspection guidelines. In order to attain that goal two different types of data collection methods were used, questionnaires and document analysis. On one hand, applying self-report questionnaires allowed us to describe the emotional intelligence of the studied sample. On the other hand, the document analysis enabled us to establish further understandings on the degree of association between emotional intelligence dimensions and leadership effectiveness. The results point to the existence of a relationship between the emotional intelligence dimensions, the relationship quality and the effectiveness of the sample school leadership.
