Abstract

The study aimed to identify the level of intellectual efficiency of primary school principals in the North within the Green Line and its relationship to emotional intelligence from the teachers' point of view, and proposals to develop the level of intellectual efficiency and emotional intelligence they have. The sample of the study consisted of (461) primary school teachers selected using random sampling method. They answered the scales of intellectual efficiency and emotional intelligence, and a personal interview conducted with a sample of (20) teachers who were selected purposefully. The results of the study indicated that the level of intellectual efficiency was high among primary school principals, while the level of emotional intelligence was moderate among them. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences in the level of intellectual efficiency and emotional intelligence among primary school principals due to qualification, in favor of the bachelor’s degree, while there were no statistically significant differences in the level of intellectual efficiency and emotional intelligence among primary school principals due to gender and years of experience. In light of the results, the study recommends that the workers in the Ministry of Education must give great attention to the process of leading primary school principals to training programs in order to increase their level of emotional intelligence.

Key words: Intellectual Efficiency, Emotional Intelligence, School Principals, Primary Schools, Green Line.
