Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and job satisfaction (JS) among university teachers in Uttar Pradesh, focusing on both public and private sector institutions. A sample of 400 university teachers was surveyed using a structured questionnaire, with emotional intelligence and job satisfaction measured through established scales. Data analysis revealed a positive correlation between EI and JS, with Pearson correlation coefficients of 0.164 and p-values of 0.001 for both sectors, indicating statistically significant relationships. These results suggest that higher emotional intelligence is associated with increased job satisfaction among university teachers. The findings have important implications for theory and practice, reinforcing the role of EI in enhancing job satisfaction and suggesting that EI development programs could benefit academic institutions. Future research should further explore the specific dimensions of EI that impact job satisfaction and consider longitudinal and cross-cultural studies to broaden the understanding of these dynamics. No conflicts of interest were reported in the study.
