Review of the Literature
E motional Intelligence has a positive influence on work performanceand life (McClelland, 1975; Boyatzis, 1982; Goleman, 1998;Hay/McBer, 1999; Myers & Tucker, 2005; Nelson & Low, 2003)Best professors were described as caring, helpful, knowledgeable
(Basow, 2000; Hativa, 2000).Teacher effectiveness included knowledge, effective communication,well organized material, motivate and inspire students, friendly andopen behavior, and well classroom management (Money, 1992) .E ducational neuroscience demonstrated the vital role of a trusting andsafe holding environment to promote learners learning anddevelopment (Johnson, 2006; Zull, 2002).

Conclusions
The EI Skills Characteristics Of Taiwans Teachers Nine EI skills in strengthen level; Stress Management skill indevelop level; three potential problems in normal levelThe faculty members possessed an average level of nine EI skillsthat can be improved and developed to become personal strengths(Nelson & Low, 2003).The faculty members can learn positive Stress Management skill
by self-knowledge and self-science.The high demands of workload, professional knowledge andability, curriculum plan, and services for students have turned intothe high pressure to college/university faculty members in Taiwan(Chou & Peng, 2005).Aggression, Deference, and Change Orientation should beunderstood and converted to Anger Management, AnxietyManagement, and Positive Personal Change skills (Nelson & Low,2003).

Conclusions
The E ffects Of Age, Gender, And E ducation Factors On EI SkillsThe findings of the study supported H 01 ~ H 012 ..There were no significant differences between senior faculty and
junior faculty, between males and females, and between high andlow level of education in Interpersonal, Leadership, Self
Management, andIntrapersonal skills.E motional intelligence can be continuously developed with age,
training, and experience (Bar-On, 1997; Goleman, 1998; Nelson& Low, 2003).The age group of 61 or above apparently received the highestmean in the four EI skills from descriptive statistics.There were no significant gender differences on the overall EI assessment (Dawda & Hart, 2000).Mental health, physical health, and family and social relationshipscontributed more to success in highly competitive occupations(Vaillant, 1977).

ConclusionsThe Relationship Between E motional I ntelligence And Teaching
E ffectivenessThe findings of the study supported H 013 , H 015 , and H 016 , whilerejected H 014 , H 017.The faculty members who performed superior in overall EI skills
tended to achieve higher teaching effectiveness.The faculty members who had superior competencies, Comfort,E mpathy, Leadership, and Self E steem, tended to perform better inoverall teaching effectiveness.Teachers can apply EI to improve instructional performance(Nelson, Low, & Nelson, 2005), need empathy competency for theteaching profession (Goleman, 1998), understand the special needsof students, and create a supportive and caring learningenvironment (Cozolino, 2002; Knowles, 1998; Stallone, 2003).Other EI skills did not exhibit significant relationships to overallteaching effectiveness. The reason may be that only 6 of 19questions directly related to EI in the teaching evaluation.

Recommendations
E motional Intelligence and Teachers: E motional Learning System for guiding personally intentional change of behaviors and habits(Nelson & Low, 2003).Stress Management and Teachers: Cognitive restructuring and
relaxation skills (Nelson & Low, 2003). The faculty members can benefit from learning Positive Stress Management skill (Nelson &Low, 2003).E motional Intelligence and Institutions: Organizations have anecessity of supporting the social and emotional development of members (Goleman, 1998).The Institute has a need to set up the mechanism for EI lifelonglearning of faculty members and to establish a teaching and learningcenter.

Recommendations
The application of emotional intelligence in teachingeffectiveness:
(1) Realize and honor students interests; (2) unleashthe strengths, talents, and passions of students; (3)
passionately teach students the knowledge, skills, andstrategies; (4) build on students unique strengths; and(5) listen to the hopes of students (Bowman, 2005).
Through the learning of EI skills to achieve individual
transformation and change, both teachers and studentscan develop human potential and become effectiveteachers and students (Nelson, Low, & Nelson, 2005).

Recommendations for Further Research
1. An experimental research of the effects of EI training program on teaching effectiveness.
2. An correlation research of EI and teaching quality (self-
evaluation) extended to a population of all colleges anduniversities of Taiwan.3. An experimental research of the effects of EI training
program on the job satisfaction of faculty members.
