Abstract :
[en] Research has documented a positive association between Emotional Intelligence
(EI) and well-being, performance and self-efficacy. The purpose of the current
study was to examine potential associations between EI and self-efficacy among
physical education teachers. The Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire
(TEIQue) and the Teacher Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES) were administered to
a sample of 119 physical education teachers. The main results show a positive
association between EI and self-efficacy, and more particularly that the sociability
factor of EI predicted the TSES total score. Moreover, neither age nor teaching
time experience was related to EI or self-efficacy scores. These results both confirm
and extend previous findings on the association between EI and self-efficacy.
Suggestions are provided for specific EI training for physical education teachers.
