The work in progress we present consists of a series of studies about some psychological aspects of the teaching profession in times of high school system reform. The main purpose of this research project is to expand the body of findings on teacher emotional intelligence, an emerging topic in educational psychology, as it is demonstrated by a flourishing literature. The relationships between emotional intelligence, self-efficacy beliefs, job satisfaction and burnout will also be explored. A sample of about 250 Italian high school teachers are being recruited and asked to complete anonymously a battery of self-report questionnaires. Our work intends to be a significant contribution to the debate about emotional intelligence as a plausible protective factor against teachers’ vulnerability in times of increased performativity demand.

Abstract
The work in progress we present consists of a series of studies about some psychological aspects of the teaching profession in times of high school system reform. The main purpose of this research project is to expand the body of findings on teacher emotional intelligence, an emerging topic in educational psychology, as it is demonstrated by a flourishing literature. The relationships between emotional intelligence, self-efficacy beliefs, job satisfaction and burnout will also be explored. A sample of about 250 Italian high school teachers are being recruited and asked to complete anonymously a battery of self-report questionnaires. Our work intends to be a significant contribution to the debate about emotional intelligence as a plausible protective factor against teachers’ vulnerability in times of increased performativity demand.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
