“…This shows that gender cannot act as moderate variable in the relationship between EI and job satisfaction. This result is consistent with the findings of the studies conducted by Brog, Riding, and Falzon (1991), Brody and Hall (1993), Bar-On (1997), Schutte et al (1998), Sutarso (1999) and Syed et al (2012) as they have also found no interaction between gender and the variables studied. Similarly a study by Goleman (1998b) found more similarities than differences in the EI of men and women, was also in the line of present study.…”

“…This means that higher the level of EI, the higher the job satisfaction and vice versa. This findings support the results of previous studies conducted by Bar-On (1997), Guleryuz et al (2008), Kafetsios and Zampetakis (2008), Khouly et al (2011), Platsidou (2010), and Syed et al (2012). EI is said to be able to influence one's ability to succeed in coping with environmental demand and pressure, clearly an important set of behaviors to harness under stressful work condition ( Bar-On, 1997).…”

The objective of the study was to find out the effect of EI and gender on job satisfaction of primary school teachers. A total of 300 (150 male and 150 female) primary school teachers were selected randomly for the study. Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS) and Teachers' Job Satisfaction Scale (TJSS) were used to collect the data. The study found a significant positive relationship between emotional intelligence and job satisfaction. Regression analysis showed that emotional management and emotional maturity significantly predicted the job satisfaction. The results of the two-way ANOVA showed that the interaction effect of gender and EI was not significant. Results also showed that level of EI significantly affected the job satisfaction of primary school teachers. However, there is no significant difference between male and female teachers regarding the level of job satisfaction. There are other factors which affect job satisfaction but the role of EI cannot be neglected. So the level of EI must be taken into consideration in order to select the best teachers.

“…For instance, Anari (2012) established a positive significant relationship between EI and job satisfaction among English teachers in some selected high schools in Iran. Similar positive relationship between EI and job satisfaction were reported in countries like Turkey (Cekmecelioglu et al, 2012), and Malaysia (Salim et al, 2012). Further, similar findings were reported by Carvalho et al (2016) when they established a positive relationship between the four dimensions of EI and two dimensions of WE.…”

“…There is a plethora of evidence in the literature that established a positive relationship between job satisfaction and EI in different contexts (e.g., Cekmecelioglu et al, 2012;Emdady & Bagheri, 2013;Salim et al, 2012;Tagoe & Quarshie, 2016). For instance, Tagoe and Quarshie (2016) established a significant positive relationship existed between EI and job satisfaction among nurses in Ghana.…”

The purpose of the study was to examine the causal relationship between teachers' emotional intelligence, job satisfaction, professional identity, and work engagement. And to achieve this purpose, a questionnaire consisting of four scales was administered to 260 teachers selected from the Adentan Municipal in the Greater Accra Region. Exploratory factor analysis, structural equation modeling, and univariate statistical analyses were employed to analyze the data. Results of the analyses established that job satisfaction mediated the relationship between teachers' emotional intelligence and work engagement. The findings also revealed that emotional intelligence positively affected professional identity directly and indirectly through job satisfaction. It was further revealed that female teachers exhibited more professional identity and were more satisfied than their male counterparts. The study concluded with the recommendation that for Ghanaian teachers to be actively engaged with their job, they should be provided with the opportunity to develop and improve their emotional intelligence. It was also recommended that a module on emotional intelligence be included in the curriculum for training pre-service teachers.
