Impact of Emotional Intelligence on College Instructors’ Work Management

Abstract

This research aimed to explore the relationship between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Work Management (WM) among Filipino College Instructors at the University of Cebu – Main Campus during the academic year. Employing a descriptive-correlational quantitative design, the study sampled 113 out of 157 College Instructors using Stratified Random Sampling. Standardized questionnaires were administered to gather data on emotional intelligence and work management. The analysis, encompassing Frequency, Percentage, Mean, Standard Deviation, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and Chi-Square, indicated a significant positive relationship between emotional intelligence and work management. The results suggest that higher emotional intelligence correlates with more effective work management for college instructors. Interestingly, no significant relationships were found between demographic profiles and emotional intelligence or work management. The study's insights and recommendations focus on enhancing practices that foster emotional intelligence and work management among college instructors.
