Paper Received On: 21 APRIL 2023 Peer Reviewed On: 30 APRIL 2023 Published On: 01 MAY 2023 Abstract Emotional intelligence works upon the philosophy that knowledge and skill may help someone get into the position, but it takes an emotional understanding of oneself and those around to emerge triumphant. Emotional intelligence influences the overall ability to cope with the environmental demands and uncertainties. When one understands the circuit of feelings, thoughts and reactions they can blossom into mature individuals. This helps in handling irrational fears, stressful situations, understanding strengths and overcoming weaknesses to cope up with challenges. Then the individuals can transcend self imposed limitations and actualize their potentials. They become adaptable, constructive, creative, productive and effective in their tasks. One cannot define emotional intelligence completely until one knows from where this concept originated and how it developed. The present study was conducted on 300 secondary school teachers from Medchal Malkajgiri district of Telangana State. The result reveals that there was a significant difference in emotional intelligence aspects with respect to gender among secondary school teacher’s. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Key Words: Secondary Schools, Gender, Emotional Intelligence.
