Abstract | This study investigates the relationship between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Job Satisfaction (JS) among secondary school teachers in the Sundarbans, a geographically and socio-economically challenged region of West Bengal, India. Employing a quantitative, descriptive-correlational research design, the study sampled 400 secondary school teachers from North and South 24 Parganas districts using a random sampling technique. Standardized tools—Teacher Emotional Intelligence Scale (Ashraf & Jamal) and Job Satisfaction Scale (Meera Dixit)—were used for data collection. Due to non-normality of data, non-parametric tests (Mann–Whitney U) and Spearman's correlation were applied. The results revealed significant differences in EI across gender, academic stream, and teaching experience: female, Arts stream, and senior teachers demonstrated higher EI. However, no significant differences in JS were observed based on gender, stream, or teaching type. Notably, the study found a strong and statistically significant positive correlation (r = .802, p < .05) between EI and JS, suggesting that emotionally intelligent teachers tend to experience higher job satisfaction. These findings align with existing literature emphasizing the role of emotional competencies in enhancing workplace satisfaction and resilience, particularly in high-stress educational environments. The study highlights the importance of incorporating EI development in teacher training and professional support programs, especially in underserved and ecologically vulnerable regions like the Sundarbans. By addressing an existing research gap, this study contributes both theoretical insights and practical implications for educational policy and teacher development initiatives in rural India. |
