Resumen

A inteligência emocional é considerada uma competência importante. No entanto, em Portugal, são poucos os instrumentos que avaliam este constructo em professores. Considerando que a Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS) é uma escala com boas propriedades psicométricas que avalia a perceção da inteligência emocional, o presente estudo teve por objetivo analisar as propriedades psicométricas da WLEIS em professores portugueses. Participaram no estudo 835 professores, dos ensinos básico e secundário, de escolas públicas. A análise fatorial realizada mostra que a estrutura de quatro fatores, obtida através do exploratory structural equation modeling, apresenta evidências favoráveis, assim como adequada fiabilidade do constructo e fiabilidade das pontuações adequadas. Portanto, a estrutura proposta pelos autores da WLEIS pode ser aplicada em professores portugueses.
