Description
Summary:Emotional intelligence is indispensable in all types of professions today, especially for careers that practice expressive social relationships such as teachers. Emotional intelligence is also considered as the key to performance excellence in the teaching profession while ensuring positive student development. Thus, rigorous research is expected in this field. In line with that, this study intended to validate the measurement model for emotional intelligence research. The mixed-method study began with a qualitative approach and ended with a quantitative analysis. Emotional intelligence in the element of Ibadah constructs are mujahadah, the practice of Dua, Istiqomah, trust and surrender. In the qualitative phase, content analysis was conducted to generate items for the respective constructs. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) validated the measurement model of mujahadah, practice of Dua, Istiqomah, trust and surrender for unidimensionality, validity and reliability. Therefore, these measurement models can be assessed for future research improvements.
