Abstract

A drastic national education transformation requires leaders that can shape high-quality teachers. Professional Learning Community (PLC) is a strategy introduced by the Teacher Education Division or Bahagian Pendidikan Guru (BPG) to improve the quality of teachers. In ensuring the successful implementation of this strategy, an effective principal leadership style should be practiced in every organization. Besides, emotional intelligence plays a role in assisting leaders to improve the effectiveness of their leadership. This study aims to examine the effect of emotional intelligence as a mediator of the relationship between principals’ transformational leadership and teachers’ professional learning community practice in High-Performance Schools (HPS) in the state of Selangor. A total of 364 teachers were selected from 34 high-performance secondary schools in Selangor.
