Abstract:

The study was carried out to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence and employees’ work-life balance in a state college situated in Davao de Oro, Philippines. It employed a descriptive-correlational design. Data were collected from 214 randomly selected employees through a survey using standardized questionnaires. The data were analyzed and interpreted using descriptive and inferential statistical tools. The result indicated that the level of emotional intelligence and work life balance among study respondents was high. Furthermore, a significant relationship was observed between the two variables and revealed that emotional intelligence statistically influences work-life balance. When regressed individually, it was discovered that among the indicators of emotional intelligence, motivation best predicts work-life balance. Implications of the study provided.
