| description | Academics exert themselves tremendously to advance in higher education institutions, and their leaders emotional intelligence and idealised influence are fundamental to responsiveness regarding performance. The effects of transformational leadership on job performance have been established, but a single component, idealised influence, has been neglected. Hence, this study aims to investigate the potential mediating effects of academic leaders idealised influence between academic leaders emotional intelligence and subordinates job performance. Approximately 386 questionnaires from five Malaysian public research universities were obtained. The partial least squares structural equation model was utilised in dichotomising the measurements. Drawing from attribution theory and social exchange theory, it was predicted that academic leaders idealised influence will mediate the relationship between academic leaders emotional intelligence and their subordinates job performance. However, the study reveals that the relationship between academic leaders emotional intelligence and their subordinates job performance was not mediated by academic leaders idealised influence. This study is useful for government and higher institutions in planning, developing, and implementing programs or policies in producing highly talented academic leaders in Malaysian research universities. |
