The techniques of collecting data used instruments emotional intelligence scale, school climate scale, and counselor burnout inventory. The technique of analyzing the data used Structural Equal Model assisted by Software Warp-PLS 6.0. The results of analysis showed that the evaluation model fit. The evaluation model fit index showed Average Path Coefficient 0.452, P<0.001, Average R – squared 0.606, P<0.001, Average Adjusted R – sqared of Fit 0.603, P<0.001, Average VIF 1.242, Average Full Collinearity VIF 2.036. Tenenhaus Goodness of Fit =0.632, Sympson’s Paradox Ratio 1.000, R – squared Contribution Ratio 1.000, Statistical Suppression Ratio 1.000, and Nonlinear Bivariate Causality Direction Ratio 1.000. The result showed the significant relationship between the emotional intelligence and school counselor burnout. And the significant relationship between the positively school climate and school counselor burnout.
