Women who choose to be educators, especially lecturers, have the opportunity to actualise themselves though their knowledge. Therefore, as a lecturer, they should have not only intelligence but also emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is the spirit of hard work, and being able to contribute as human resources to their environment. The purpose of this study is to discover the emotional intelligence that affects the performance of lecturers, especially female lectures, at several private colleges in Balikpapan. It is hoped that this research will bring in useful information especially for educational decision makers in Balikpapan, and to anyone interested. This research is a descriptive quantitative research study conducted in all of the private collages in Balikpapan. The subjects of this research are all female lecturers, both permanent lecturers and non-permanent lecturers, totalling 62 respondents. Several data analyses were used, including validity tests, reliability and multiple regression analysis tests. The data analysis techniques obtained the regression coefficient for each independent variable (X) and dependent variable (Y), as well as partial correlation for each independent variable. Also included are the F test results, and the T test and probability level of each variable. The results showed that all of the variables together (simultaneously) have no effect on the performance of female lecturers. This can be seen in the value of the F arithmetic of 0,559 while the magnitude of the F table with level of confidence (a) 5% is equal to 2,29. This condition shows that F arithmetic 0,05). Similarly, self-motivation (optimism) as a part of emotional intelligence does not have the most dominant influence on the performance of female lecturers at several private collages in Balikpapan.
