Abstract Teachers are called to foster critical thinking and the passion for lasting learning going beyond textbooks, research, and the sets of standardized tests, needed to enhance future professionals in their respective fields and pave the way for their success. However, teaching is a stressful job, as they deal with emotions and the need to design a supportive learning environment. This complex correlational research method was adopted by the researcher to describe the mediating role of emotional intelligence between teachers’ work-related stress and engagement in their work environment. The selected 144 respondents were from various allied health courses from different Higher Education Institutions. Three instruments were adopted by the researcher: the “Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS),” the “Work-related version of Burnout Assessment Tool” (BAT), and the “Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES)”. Results showed that work-related stresses and work engagements are inversely significant as work stresses increase work engagement decreases. Values showed that EI mediates with work related stress and work engagement as EI increases the work engagement increases too that makes work related stress decrease. It is recommended that educational administrators should create and execute extensive stress management initiatives, prioritize professional development programs, cultivate a constructive work environment, establish mentoring initiatives, resolve workload issues. Moreover, conducting a longitudinal and comparative research investigation on the changes in teacher’s well-being from time to time in various educational systems.
