The Predictive Ability of Academic Leaders’ Moral Intelligence in Universities Faculty Members’ Job Performance

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the predictive ability of ethical intelligence of academic leaders on the job performance of faculty members in universities from their perspective. The study sample consisted of (529) faculty members who were conveniently selected and two questionnaires were used after confirming their psychometric properties. The results of the study showed that the mean of the moral intelligence of academic leaders was moderate, and the job performance of faculty members was also moderate. The results of simple regression analysis showed a statistically significant positive relationship between the moral intelligence of academic leaders and the job performance of faculty members. Additionally, the results of variance analysis, interpreting regression coefficients, and standard coefficients indicated that moral intelligence of academic leaders is a good predictor of job performance of faculty members from their perspective.
