This study examined the relationship between professional learning communities and work engagement among 227 Chinese university teachers, with a focus on emotional intelligence's mediating role. Using structural equation modeling(SEM), the results revealed: 1) Significant positive correlations among professional learning communities, emotional intelligence, and work engagement; 2) Emotional intelligence partially mediated this relationship, as learning communities both directly enhanced work engagement and indirectly improved it by boosting emotional intelligence. The findings suggest universities should implement emotional competence training to strengthen teachers' self-awareness and regulation skills, while simultaneously fostering collaborative professional communities through shared vision-building, peer collaboration, and institutional support. Additionally, adopting flexible promotion systems informed by international best practices could further enhance teaching engagement, professional dedication, and overall work vitality. These evidence-based recommendations provide a comprehensive approach to supporting teacher development through both emotional and organizational interventions.

The performance of a teacher has an important role in the success of education in general. This study aims to determine the factors that affect the decline in teacher performance in one of the junior secondary schools in Indonesia. Based on the literature review, four exogenous variables were identified, namely, training, utilization of information technology, intellectual intelligence, and emotional intelligence. This study uses primary data, collected from a questionnaire distributed to respondents. The questionnaire items are measured using a Likert scale. The sample in this study were all teachers at MTS Darul Falah Sirahan, totaling 32 people. The analysis technique used in testing the hypothesis of this study is multiple regression analysis. Statistical product and service solutions are used as analysis tools. The results of this study indicate that only the variable ‘utilization of information technology’ has a positive and significant effect. However, the variables ‘training,’ ‘intellectual intelligence,’ and ‘emotional intelligence’ did not have a significant effect. This finding contradicts the literature in general. Therefore, this study recommends improving training methods, both those carried out internally by schools and by related agencies, and schools still need to optimize guidance and potential for teacher’s intelligence in improving performance.
