Administrative Structures and Educator Welfare: A Comparative Study of Emotional Intelligence and Work-Life Balance in Government and Private Colleges of Haryana
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study examines the emotional intelligence and work-life balance of faculty members in government and private colleges in Haryana. Using a structured questionnaire, data were collected from 300 participants (150 from each sector) through a quantitative, cross-sectional research design. The findings reveal that faculty members in private institutions demonstrate higher levels of emotional intelligence and better work-life balance compared to their counterparts in government colleges. Factors influencing emotional intelligence include personal values, representational systems, perceptual positions, effective communication, anchoring techniques, and cognitive frameworks. These results underscore the importance of fostering emotional intelligence and work-life balance among educators for their personal well-being and professional effectiveness. Future research could explore targeted strategies to enhance these attributes, ultimately contributing to greater job satisfaction and academic success.
