Sumario:Research indicates that personal resources, such as emotional intelligence, play an important role in a teacher’s job performance. However, the relationship between emotional intelligence and classroom management/discipline efficacy has been much less studied. Thus, the main objective of this study was to analyze how teachers’ emotional intelligence influences their classroom management and discipline efficacy. A total of 772 teachers from Portuguese schools participated, completing measures of emotional intelligence and efficacy for classroom management and discipline. The results indicated, through the statistical technique of structural equation modeling, a positive association between teachers’ emotional intelligence and their efficacy for classroom management y discipline. Concluding on the need to implement a study plan that includes emotional intelligence in the initial and continuing teachers’ training.
