Gender Differences in Emotional Intelligence and Happiness among Corporate Professionals

Abstract

Emotional Intelligence (EI) and happiness are two crucial elements that profoundly affect the well-being and performance of corporate professionals in the contemporary, fast-paced work environment. This study used a quantitative research methodology to investigate the correlation between emotional intelligence and happiness among professionals in the Indian business sector. An easy selection method was used to pick 140 participants (70 men and 70 females), with data gathered using an online Google Form. In the present investigation, two instruments were employed: the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ) and the Schutte Self Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT). The study's results indicate a positive correlation between Emotional Intelligence and Happiness, with no statistically significant gender differences seen in either variable.
