S. Saranyadevi

Abstract :

An attempt has been made to find out the influence of emotional intelligence on professional commitment of high school teachers. As many as 300 samples were collected from the high school teachers working in government, aided and matriculation schools of three districts in southern tamilnadu. Tools constructed and standardized by the investigator were used for the data collection. The findings showed that high school teachers are exposed to different source of emotional intelligence but the fear of their performance in the teaching is the greatest source of emotional intelligence. The findings also revealed that while teachers were somehow emotional and spiritual support along with getting more involved in physical/ school activities are the main strategies used to deal with emotional intelligence. Research findings reveal that teachers indicated a positive and somewhat strong relationship between the emotional intelligence and professional commitment of high school teachers
