Abstract The present study was an attempt to study the influence of parental occupation on the emotional intelligence and moral values of secondary school students. A survey method was used to collect data. The sample consisted of 560 higher secondary school students. The emotional intelligence scale developed and standardized by Mangal and Mangal and Moral Values Inventory developed by Sen Gupta and Singh were used for data collection. Statistical techniques like Mean, standard deviation, and t-value were used to analyse the data. The results showed significant differences in emotional intelligence based on their parent’s occupations. The mother’s working status also affects the moral values of secondary school students but the father’s occupation does not affect their moral values.

Excessive use and dependence on technology and the use of social media have created a rift between people and the problem of isolation and loneliness is on the rise. People want to remain all alone and self-dependent without the intrusion of others. These developing trends have played havoc with people’s morality and tend to be sliding down the moral value meter. The use of emotional intelligence is being emphasized these days to tackle the day-today challenges occurring with these growing concerns. Moral values take shape during an individual’s childhood in which parents and school life plays the most important role. It helps determine the students’ character as good or bad. These moral values are a prerequisite for a good campaign for peace and harmony because when everyone behaves well, there is no cause or occurrence of violence or any other happening that is not good. High moral values always have a positive effect on the individual in the long run as he becomes a respected person in the family as well as in society.
