RT Conference Proceedings T1 Education review on educational leadership and emotional intelligence A1 Gómez-Leal, Raquel A1 Fernández-Berrocal, Pablo A1 Patti, Janet K1 Inteligencia K1 Aptitudes de aprendizaje AB The purpose of this systematic review is to explore the literature on emotional intelligence related to school leadership using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. The authors searched the electronic databases of Eric education, PsycINFO, Scopus and Psychology Database to find relevant articles. They used search criteria to identify a total of 110 references. Using rigorous selection methods, 35 articles were systematically reviewed. The results revealed that emotional intelligence is key for effective leadership and that the most used skills/competences are self-awareness, self-management, and empathy. Additionally, the literature makes it clear that the extent to which the leader builds trusting relationships contributes greatly to the development of teacher satisfaction and performance. These findings can help to inform the design of successful pre-service programmes for aspiring leaders and in-service programmes for school principals. Limitations and future lines of research are discussed. YR 2022 FD 2022 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10630/24912 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10630/24912 LA eng NO Universidad de Málaga.
