School Leader Emotional Intelligence and the Impact on School Climate in K-12 Catholic Schools

<p> This study examined the relationship between school leaders&rsquo; self-reported levels of emotional intelligence and teacher perceptions of school climate in K&ndash;12 Catholic schools in Indiana. This study built upon the findings of a mixed-method study by Juma (2013) that was limited in scope and generalizability, and examined the relationship between a principal&rsquo;s perceived emotional intelligence and teacher perceptions of school climate. The current study used a quantitative methodological approach and a larger sample size to enhance understanding of the relationship between school leaders&rsquo; perceptions of emotional intelligence and teacher perceptions of school climate. The Emotional Intelligence Quotient 2.0 (EQ-i 2.0) and the Organizational Climate Questionnaire (OCQ) were completed by 200 teachers and 30 school leaders in 30 K&ndash;12 Catholic schools in Indiana. This study did not find a significant relationship between a school leader&rsquo;s perceived level of emotional intelligence and teacher&rsquo;s perceived school climate. Prior research on these variables has been inconclusive. This study adds to the body of research examining the possible connection between a school leader&rsquo;s emotional intelligence and school climate.</p><p>
