| description |
Emotional intelligence has been highlighted as a useful personal resource. However, in Portugal, few instruments assess this construct in teachers. Considering that the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS) is a scale with good psychometric properties that assesses the perception of emotional intelligence, the present study aimed to analyze the psychometric properties of the WLEIS in Portuguese teachers. A total of 835 primary and secondary school teachers from public schools participated in the study. The WLEIS and job satisfaction scales were applied. Statistical analysis using the SPSS/AMOS 25 program indicated adequate internal consistency and a positive and statistically significant association with job satisfaction. The results provide evidence that the WLEIS is a valid scale to assess the perception of emotional intelligence in Portuguese teachers, as well as their respective emotional capacities. |

A inteligência emocional é considerada uma competência importante. No entanto, em Portugal, são poucos os instrumentos que avaliam este constructo em professores. Considerando que a Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS) é uma escala com boas propriedades psicométricas que avalia a perceção da inteligência emocional, o presente estudo teve por objetivo analisar as propriedades psicométricas da WLEIS em professores portugueses. Participaram no estudo 835 professores, dos ensinos básico e secundário, de escolas públicas. A análise fatorial realizada mostra que a estrutura de quatro fatores, obtida através do exploratory structural equation modeling, apresenta evidências favoráveis, assim como adequada fiabilidade do constructo e fiabilidade das pontuações adequadas. Portanto, a estrutura proposta pelos autores da WLEIS pode ser aplicada em professores portugueses. A inteligência emocional é considerada uma competência importante.
