Abstract
The study was carried out to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence and employees’ work-life balance in a state college situated in Davao de Oro, Philippines. It employed a descriptive-correlational design. Data were collected from 214 randomly selected employees through a survey using standardized questionnaires. The data were analyzed and interpreted using descriptive and inferential statistical tools. The result indicated that the level of emotional intelligence and work-life balance among study respondents was high. Furthermore, a significant relationship was observed between the two variables and revealed that emotional intelligence statistically influences work-life balance. When regressed individually, it was discovered that among the indicators of emotional intelligence, motivation best predicts work-life balance. Implications of the study provided.
