In Malaysia, a country's education quality and students' academic achievements are closely related to teachers' teaching performance. Therefore, teachers' teaching performance plays an important role in Malaysian education. However, teachers' teaching performance is often affected by emotional intelligence and self-efficacy. Teachers with high emotional intelligence and high self-efficacy can manage their emotions better and use their teaching skills to accomplish demanding teaching tasks well, thus improving students' academic performance. This study showed the relationships among emotional intelligence, self-efficacy, and teaching performance of lecturers in a private university in Malaysia. Convenient sampling was adopted in this study to collect responses from 254 lecturers in a private university in Malaysia. The findings revealed that there was a positive relationship between self-efficacy and the teaching performance of lecturers in a private university in Malaysia. On the other hand, emotional intelligence and teaching performance of Malaysian private university lecturers were positively related. In addition, this study also found that the levels of self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and teaching performance of lecturers in private universities in Malaysia were generally high. This study's implications emphasize the importance of emotional intelligence, self-efficacy, and teaching performance in Malaysian higher education. This study also provides a reference value for educational institutions, teachers, future researchers, and all stakeholders.
