Abstract

This study among 150 college teachers investigated the relationship between emotional intelligence and perceived stress levels, and the moderating effect of gender in this relationship. Differences in stress levels and emotional intelligence have also been studied based on demographic variables like gender, education, age, and experience. Further the moderating effect of gender on the relationship between emotional intelligence and stress has also been studied. The study has found a negative relationship between emotional intelligence and stress levels. The study has proved that gender does not moderate the relationship between emotional intelligence and stress. The results have been analyzed on the light of training.
