Abstract
The objective of this research is to investigate the correlation between some aspects in decision-making process, namely: (1) the correlation between emotional intelligence (henceforth referred to as EQ) and teachers’ engagement; (2) the correlation between work motivation and teachers’ engagement, and; (3) the correlation between EQ and work motivation (simultaneous) with teachers’ engagement in decision-making. Conducted in all elementary schools in Kota Selatan Sub-district, this correlational study relied on observation, interview, documentation, and quantitative data analysis. Key findings of the study reveal that (1) there is a positive and significant correlation between EQ and teachers’ engagement; (2) there is a positive and significant correlation between work motivation and teachers’ engagement, and (3) there is a positive, significant, and simultaneous correlation of EQ and work motivation with teachers’ engagement.
