İlknur Durdu, Semiha Şahin

This research in which relational screening model is used is made by quantitative research method and the data has been collected by “Bar-On EQ Scale” and “CC Scale”. Data collection tools have been conducted in 224 teachers in public secondary schools in Buca in İzmir. In data analysis, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis were used. According to research's results, there is positive and medium level relationship between EQ's dimensions and CC's dimensions. In addition, EQ is a significant predictor of CC's “relation” and “personal growth/goal orientation” in medium level and “system maintenance and change” in high level.
