Abstract

The study aims to analyze the impact of Emotional Intelligence (EI) on Teacher Effectiveness (TE). 300 teachers from Management and Engineering Department of Higher Education Institutions participated in this study. The data were analyzed through SMART PLS version 4. Findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Teacher Effectiveness. The research offers new insights and suggestions for higher education institutions regarding the significance of hiring new instructors who possess strong emotional intelligence (EI) abilities and conducting training programs to enhance the EI skills of existing educators. The study has implications for teachers and those involved in policy decisions in higher education.
