<![CDATA[Emotional intelligence (Emotional Quotient) is an important aspect of students’ development as it is related to their ability to recognize, manage, and regulate emotions when interacting with others. These abilities may influence students’ behavior, including their ability to demonstrate respect and good moral conduct toward teachers. This study aims to determine the level of Emotional Quotient (EQ) among students, identify students’ moral conduct toward teachers, and determine the extent to which Emotional Quotient (EQ) influences the moral conduct of ninth-grade students toward teachers at MTs Ma’arif NU Sukodadi Lamongan. This study employed a quantitative approach using a causal associative research design. The population consisted of all 38 ninth-grade students at MTs Ma’arif NU Sukodadi Lamongan. A saturated sampling technique was employed, whereby all members of the population were included as research samples. Data were collected using questionnaires, while data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression with the assistance of IBM SPSS Statistics version 27. The results showed that the students’ level of Emotional Quotient (EQ) was in the high category, with a mean score of 65.53. The students’ moral conduct toward teachers was also in the high category, with a mean score of 66.50. The results of the simple linear regression analysis indicated that Emotional Quotient (EQ) had a positive and significant effect on students’ moral conduct toward teachers, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. Emotional Quotient (EQ) contributed 57.9% to students’ moral conduct toward teachers, while the remaining 42.1% was influenced by other factors outside the scope of this study.]]>
