This current study aims at exploring the causal relationships among emotional intelligence, job stress and job satisfaction of municipal junior-high school teachers. Based upon the prior literature, a large-scale survey was developed and conducted in this study. A total of 252 questionnaires was issued with 231 valid questionnaires received from the teachers who work for municipal junior-high schools in Pingtung county. The collected empirical data were then analyzed by a component-based structural equation modeling technique, partial least squares regression analysis, to test the proposed hypotheses and validate the nomological validity of the research model in this study. The research findings signify that the significant influencing levels were found among the causal relationships of emotional intelligence, job stress and job satisfaction of the municipal junior-high school teachers in Pingtung county. The empirical results authenticated the proposed research framework of this study. Specifically, a negative influence for job stress on job satisfaction, a positive associated relationship from emotional intelligence to job satisfaction and a negative association from job stress to emotional intelligence were firmly confirmed by the PLS analytical results. The implications and recommendations of this study are expected to serve as instrumental guidelines to help educational administrative institutes, teacher education centers and junior-high school staffs understand the pros and cons among emotional management, job stress, and job satisfaction as perceived by modern junior-high teachers. |
