Book excerpt: This qualitative study investigated educators' perceptions of principals' emotional intelligence and the influence it had on school culture. In particular, the study investigated educators' perceptions regarding the influence of a principal's emotional intelligence on school culture; educators' perceptions regarding the manifestations of a principal's emotional intelligence on school culture; and educators' perceptions of the importance of school culture on a learning environment. Educators from a school district classified as rural and encompassing 105 square miles in central Pennsylvania, with an enrollment of approximately 2,600 students, completed the researcher-developed online Likert-scale survey and open-ended responses. Individual personal interviews via Zoom with 10 participants provided additional insight into their perceptions. The survey and interview questions were designed to examine the perspectives of educators' views on their principal's emotional intelligence and the influence it had on school culture. The findings of this research affirmed that educators viewed their principal's emotional intelligence as highly influencing the culture of a school. Findings indicated that principals who exhibited transformational leadership style characteristics also positively influenced a school's culture. Response data supported that the school's culture further influenced the learning environment of students, suggesting that when the learning environment was positive in nature, students' achievement and success were higher. These findings can guide future research for school administrators and leaders who want to improve their school's culture and increase overall student achievement and success.
