Abstract-In this study, the researchers examined the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and teaching effectiveness among lecturers at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Puncak Alam, Selangor. The participants consisted of 155 lecturers working at UiTM, Puncak Alam, Selangor. The respondents were randomly selected and the data were gathered through the distribution of questionnaires. Descriptive statistics showed that there were more female than male faculty members and majority of them were from the Faculty of Office Management and Technology. The study found that there was a positive and significant relationship between overall EI skills and overall teaching effectiveness. Lecturers with high EI were found to have high self-confidence and were more committed towards their job. In conclusion, the lecturers needed to learn, master and practice EI skills in identifying their strengths, and weaknesses in order to maximize teacher-student interaction.

Abstract-The study attempts to examine the psychometric properties of the job performance constructs by integrating the two subscales; task performance and contextual performance. Results from preliminary psychometric conclude that the nursing performance scale has good internal consistency and good criterion validity. A measure developed by Greenslade and Jimmieson was used as a reliable and valid tool in assessing nurses' job performance. The results of exploratory factor analysis confirmed that the measurement scale used in this study satisfactorily met the standards of validity and reliability analyses. Exploratory factor analysis confirmed five dimensions of task performance namely: technical care, non-job specific behavior, provision of information, provision of support and coordination of care. Meanwhile, three dimensions of Contextual Performance namely: job-task support, interpersonal support and organizational support; as the dimensions that measure Job Performance constructs.
