Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of teachers' emotional intelligence (EI) on students' academic performance and to propose a model with job satisfaction (JS) acting as a mediator between EI and academic achievement. Six-hundred twenty-eight secondary school teachers were surveyed to gather data. The data analysis in this study was conducted using structural equation modelling (SEM). The results of the study showed that teacher's emotional abilities were significantly and positively associated with academic achievement of students and showed R² 60.1% variance in academic achievement. The relationship between teacher's EI and academic achievement of students is partially mediated by JS of teachers. By elucidating this link, which is an under-researched topic in the literature, the current study contributes to the growth of knowledge about teachers' EI and its effect on students' academic success.
