Abstract

The purpose of the study was to highlight the significance of emotional intelligence in educational leadership, and to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and effective leadership from faculty members' perspectives in the Saudi higher education system. A survey of 36 items comprising 5 dimensions of self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, social skills, and leadership effectiveness was administered to a population sample of 110 leaders and faculty members from different colleges in the University of Hafr Al Batin in Saudi Arabia. Findings revealed that there is a positive relationship between the level of emotional intelligence and the level of leader's effectiveness; as the correlation coefficient value is 0.507 (p < 0.001). Analysis also revealed that the level of emotional intelligence and leadership effectiveness among the leaders and faculty members is significantly high. The results indicated that the impact of emotional intelligence (self-awareness, self-discipline, motivation, and social skills) on leader's effectiveness is medium (25.6%). The study revealed that self-awareness, self-discipline, and motivation does not have a significant effect on leader's effectiveness. The results are discussed, and recommendations are made based upon the data analysis and conclusion.
