Disasters can occur in various forms with durations ranging from mere hours to days, weeks, or even months of prolonged damages and losses. Approaches taken to face such situation can build resiliency in a community. Lacking it, important community decisions will be made under the constraints of the crisis or disaster. A community with good disaster preparedness and local leadership engagement will be more capable of responding to, and managing disaster risks, which in turn will reduce damages and losses caused by disasters. This study was conducted to gauge the extent at which community leadership mediates the relationship between community resilience elements (community engagement, community education, and community awareness) and community preparedness. This was done using the results from questionnaires gathered from 318 respondents at Bukit Antarabangsa, Selangor, Malaysia. A structural equation modelling was employed to assess the validity and reliability of the instrument and thus test the research hypotheses. Based on the path model analysis, there are significant correlations to prove that community leadership is a viable partial mediator between community engagement, education and awareness, towards enhancing community preparedness. This also means that the presence of a capable community leader may well be a critical success factor to ensure that the respective community is better prepared and more resilient against disasters.

Tujuan utama kajian ini adalah untuk mengukur hubungan antara kecerdasan emosi dengan tekanan kerja dan kepuasan kerja dalam kalangan anggota Tentera Darat Malaysia (TDM). Kecerdasan emosi, yang mempunyai empat dimensi: memahami emosi, emosi emosi diri, kesedaran sosial, dan kemahiran sosial, merupakan pembolehubah bebas dalam kajian ini. Pada masa yang sama, pembolehubah bersandar ialah tekanan kerja dan kepuasan kerja di kalangan ahli TDM. Tinjauan adalah kuantitatif, dengan 479 responden memberikan respons lengkap. Bagi meneliti analisis faktor dan ujian hipotesis, data dianalisis menggunakan Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) versi 21.0 dan seterusnya Smart Partial Least Square (SmartPLS) versi 3.0. Dapatan kajian mendedahkan bahawa kecerdasan emosi mempunyai hubungan yang signifikan dengan kepuasan kerja tetapi tidak dengan tekanan kerja. The primary purpose of this study was to measure the relationship between emotional intelligence with job stress and job satisfaction among personnel of the Malaysian Army (TDM). Emotional intelligence, which has four dimensions: understanding emotions, selfemotional emotions, social awareness, and social skills, is the independent variable in this study. At the same time, the dependent variables are work stress and job satisfaction among TDM members. The survey was quantitative, with 479 respondents providing complete responses. To examine the factor analysis and hypothesis testing, the data were analysed using Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) version 21.0 and subsequently the Smart Partial Least Square (SmartPLS) version 3.0. The study's findings revealed that emotional intelligence has a significant relationship with job satisfaction but not with work stress.
