Abstract


(The Effects of Relationship Management, Self-Management and Social Awareness Sub-Scales on Transformational Leadership Behavior Among Educational Leaders)

The study aims to examine the effect of the emotional intelligence sub-scales; namely relationship management, self management, self awareness and social awareness on transformational leadership behavior among educator leaders in primary school. In this study, two sets of questionnaires were used i.e. the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ5x) by Bass & Avolio (2000) to assess leadership behavior, while Emotional Competence Inventory (ECI) by Boyatzis (2001 )was used to assess emotional intelligence. The findings showed that a majority of respondents experienced high levels of overall emotional intelligence 78.8%. The results also indicated that overall sub-scales of emotional intelligence factors explain 54.9 % of the variance (R Square) in transformational leadership which is significant (Beta = .174, t = 2.268, k < 0.05). As for each sub-scale of emotional intelligence (relationship management, self management and social awareness), results of multiple-regression analysis showed that three predictor variables for each criterion were found: revealing how relationship management contributes a significant predictor in explaining 51.6% of the variance (R Square); (Beta = .388, t = 4.738, k < 0.05); self management explains 54.1% of the variance (Beta = .225, t = 3.285, k < 0.05), and social awareness explains 54.9% (Beta = .174, t = 2.268, k < 0.05) in producing transformational leadership behavior. This article concludes therefore that the assessment of psychological constructs in school settings, such as training programs and EI Modules, could possibly assist in enhancing leadership behavior and providing benefits to society, especially in educational contexts.

ABSTRAK

Tujuan kajian adalah untuk mengkaji pengaruh faktor kecerdasan emosi (skala pengurusan perhubungan, pengurusan diri, kesedaran diri dan kesedaran sosial) ke atas tingkah laku kepimpinan transformasi dalam kalangan pemimpin pendidik sekolah menengah di Malaysia. Kaedah kajian ini menggunakan dua alat instrumen iaitu Emotional Competence Inventory (ECI) untuk mengukur kecekapan kecerdasan emosi manakala Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ5x) pula digunakan bagi mengukur kepimpinan transformasi. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan kecerdasan emosi pemimpin pendidik secara keseluruhannya adalah berada pada tahap tinggi iaitu 78.8%. Hasil kajian juga menunjukkan kecerdasan emosi bagi sub-skala pengurusan perhubungan menjelaskan sebanyak 51.6% varians; (Beta = .388, t = 4.738, k < 0.05) manakala pengurusan diri pula menerangkan sebanyak 54.1% varians; (Beta = .225, t = 3.285, k < 0.05) dan akhir sekali, kombinasi ketiga-tiga pemboleh ubah peramal merangkumi kesedaran sosial menyumbang sebanyak 54.9% (Beta = .174, t = 2.268, k < 0.05) varians secara positif terhadap kepimpinan transformasi. Dapatan ini memperlihatkan ketiga-tiga sub-skala pembolehubah ini adalah peramal yang signifikan ke atas kepimpinan transformasi. Implikasi kajian menunjukkan bahawa penyediaan latihan dan modul penghayatan kemahiran EI perlu diperkasa dan diperkukuhan seterusnya melestarikan pemilikan kecekapan tersebut secara holistik di semua peringkat khususnya dalam kalangan pemimpin.
