Excellent teachers will produce quality students who resemble their teachers. Teaching is a very challenging and stressful job that creates emotional stress for teachers and significantly impacts students. Studies of emotional intelligence with student learning outcomes at the junior high school level in physical education subjects still need to be completed. Therefore, a deeper exploration in this study was conducted to uncover it. This study analyzes the relationship between emotional intelligence and students’ physical education learning outcomes in junior high school. The participants in this study were junior high school students in Southeast Maluku Regency. The sampling technique used was random sampling, namely sampling from population members in a simple random manner. The research instrument used emotional intelligence, namely, an assessment rubric developed by Daniel Goleman and a physical education learning outcomes test. The results showed that emotional intelligence significantly affected students’ physical education learning outcomes. The correlation between study habits and students’ physical education learning outcomes obtained in this study shows its meaningfulness. It provides a clue that study habits are one of the main factors contributing to student learning outcomes. From the results, improving study habits will significantly contribute to students’ learning outcomes in physical education. Consequently, this study contributes to the body of knowledge on emotional intelligence by offering implications for teachers at primary to higher education levels.
