The purpose of this study has been to examine perspectives on the nature of emotional intelligence in public school administration. The perspectives of a school administrator and four stakeholders are reported through the interview process. In addition, this study reports findings from a test of emotional ability (the MSCEIT) taken by each of the participants. Observations by the researcher are also incorporated into the inquiry. In preparation for the study an interview was conducted with Dr. Peter Salovey, Dean at Yale University, who in 1990 along with J. D. Mayer, first coined the term, emotional intelligence , and introduced it to academia. Findings of the study indicate that age and gender do not necessarily dictate one's level of emotional intelligence as measured by the MSCEIT; administrators with competent levels of emotional intelligence impact the school environment in a positive way; and the nature of emotional intelligence in public school administration can best be characterized by the practices the administrator employs. This study will contribute to the literature currently available on the topic of emotional intelligence. In addition, educational mentoring and training programs may gain insight from this study because of its underlying focus on effective school leadership.
