Abstract: The work outcomes dimensions are job performance and deviant work behaviour. The study investigates the nexus between emotional intelligence and work outcomes among senior staff in Osun State University. The study adopted a correlational design. The objective of the study is to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence and work outcomes (job performance and deviant work behaviour). Primary data were used and data were collected using structured questionnaire having three scales including personal data. 148 responses were obtained through Taro Yamane formula. Senior staff of Osun State University was randomly selected across Okuku and Osogbo campuses were used for the study. Two hypotheses were tested and revealed that there was a significant and positive relationship between emotional intelligence and job performance at p The study recommended that the institution should include some programs in order to enhance emotional intelligence based on their job satisfaction, job performance, and employee work outcome. The implication of the findings of the study was that the emotional intelligences and work outcomes are important variables that governments, employers, institutional management need to give more attention especially among University workers and other related workforce for high job performance and low deviant work behaviour.
