Abstract:
Human beings are highly directed by feelings and emotions that why emotional intelligence is essential to influence the behaviour of an individual. People with high emotional intelligence level know what they're feeling, what their emotions mean, and how these emotions can affect other people. An emotionally intelligent teacher understands the emotions of students and other people at workplace along with his/her own emotions. The present study was framed out to observe the impact of socio-personal variables on emotional intelligence level of teachers. A sample of 160 school teachers was using random sampling technique using a self-constructed socio-economic interview schedule and Emotional intelligence test developed by Duhan ((2005). Findings revealed that majority of the teachers had medium level of emotional intelligence. The results depicted that age, education, area of living, experience in their profession, annual income and type of school were affecting emotional intelligence level of teachers whereas emotional intelligence level of teachers was independent of sex and family structure.
