Abstract: Resilience is examined as a mediator between emotional intelligence and burnout. The study also investigates the implications of emotional intelligence on burnout. An empirical investigation was conducted among 257 academicians employing purposive sampling. Primary data were obtained using a 5-point likert scale, incorporating validated tools, including the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), Nicholson McBride Resilience Questionnaire (NMRQ), Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), Self-Regulation Inventory (SRQ), Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI), and Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI). The analysis was performed using Hayes (2018) SPSS Process Macro Model 4. Burnout was found as positively correlated with resilience and emotional intelligence, while emotional intelligence also showed a positive association with resilience. Moreover, resilience partially mediates the relationship between emotional intelligence and burnout. This research is among the earlier attempts to fill the lacuna in the amalgamated domain of emotional intelligence, burnout, and resilience with specific attention on academicians, where resilience acts as a mediating variable.
