Abstract

This study is to validate the emotional intelligence construct measurement model on technical teachers from vocational colleges under the Ministry of Education, Malaysia. 493 samples from 25 vocational colleges comprising technical teachers specialising in electrical and electronic engineering, civil engineering as well as mechanical engineering acted as the respondents in this study. Data were analysed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) AMOS 20 software. An exploratory factor analysis was done on the Goleman's (1998) emotional intelligence 72 item inventory and only 51 items remained for further analysis. To validate the construct measurement model, three aspects were examined; (i) unidimensionality (loading factor value ? 0.6), (ii) validity (convergent validity AVE ? 0.5, and construct validity referring to fitness indexes), and (iii) Reliability (composite reliability, CR ? 0.6 and Average Variance Extracted ? 0.5). After 3 more items were dropped, the remaining items were reanalyzed. The findings revealed that all the 48 items recorded loading factor value > 0.6, AVE ? 0.5, fitness indexesfor Absolute Fit (RMESA=0.053), Incremental Fit (CFI = 0.908, TLI = 0.903), Parsimonious Fit (Chisq/df = 2.380) and CR ? 0.6. It can be concluded that with the 3 items dropped (loading factor < 0.6), the modified measurement model was fit to be used for structural model analysis.
