Cross-Constructs Relationship of Resilience and Emotional Intelligence in School Heads

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Resilience among school heads, focusing on their interconnection and impact on leadership effectiveness. Using a quantitative approach, Emotional Intelligence was measured through the Schutte Self-Reported Emotional Intelligence Test (SSREIT), while Resilience was assessed using a tool based on the Four C Model. Data were collected from school heads in Rawalpindi Tehsil, Pakistan through questionnaire. The correlations among the constructs vary, ranging from 0.133 (weak positive correlation) to 0.365 (moderate positive correlation). All the constructs show a significant positive relationship but vary in strength towards the majority of them leaning toward the moderate correlations.
