Abstract
The investigation entitled “Study of Occupational Stress in Relation to Emotional Intelligence among University Teachers” aimed to assess the Occupational Stress of university teachers in relation to their Emotional Intelligence. The study was based on a sample of 240 respondents randomly selected from the faculty of Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana and Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Ludhiana, selecting 60 respondents each from four selected categories- Assistant Professors, Associate Professors, Professors and Head of the Departments. The respondents were equally divided across both the genders. For collecting the demographic information of the respondents, a general information sheet was prepared. Emotional Intelligence Scale by Hyde and Pethe was used to assess the emotional intelligence of the respondents. Results revealed that majority of the associate professors had low level of emotional intelligence, while head of the departments had high level of emotional intelligence. For the appraisal of occupational stress, The Occupational Stress Index by Srivastava and Singh was used. The occupational stress level was found to be highest in associate professors and lowest in head of the departments. There was a significant association between occupational stress and type of family of the respondents. A significant association was found between the level of emotional intelligence and the designation of the respondents. Negative correlation was found between age and occupational stress which means that occupational stress decreases with the increase in the age of the respondents. Positive correlation was found between the number of children and the emotional intelligence of the respondents. Positive correlation was observed between designation and emotional intelligence of the respondents indicating that emotional intelligence increases with the designation of the respondents.
