In the contemporary world, Emotional Intelligence (EI) scores of employees are also widely acknowledged in organizations for its exceptional business outcomes. As not many researchers have done explicitly on women employees, the aim of this study was to analyze and measure the factors influencing EI through the sample data collected randomly from 320 women employees of IT companies. The EI scores of the respondents were measured by means of Daniel Goleman's four-factor taxonomy. The four factor competencies consist of: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management. The assessment provides the demographic profile of the respondents and identifies the factors influencing EI. The following demographics characteristics are considered namely, age, marital status, number of children, employment status of spouse, and type of family, educational qualification, income, experience and designation.
