| Abstract: | In India’s fast- paced and performance driven information technology (IT) industry, professionals are frequently subjected to chronic stress resulting from demanding workloads, strict deadlines, long working hours, and limited work- balance. This persistent stress has been associated with a range of negative outcomes, including reduced job satisfaction, lower productivity, increased absenteeism, and high employee turnover (Padmanabhan,2021; Cohen et al.,2023). As workplace mental health becomes an increasingly urgent concern, emotional intelligence (EI) has emerged as a valuable psychological resource. Defined by Goleman and Boyatzis (2017), EI encompasses a set of competencies such as self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills, which enable individuals to recognize, manage, and utilize emotions effectively in both personal and professional settings. Recent studies indicate that individuals with elevated emotional intelligence are more adept at managing stress and fostering meaningful interpersonal relationships. The study aims to examine whether higher emotional intelligence is linked to lower stress and better mental health among employees in this demanding work sector. A descriptive approach was used. A google-form based online survey was used to systematically gather primary data for sample of 400 IT professionals throughout India. The research findings substantiated that higher emotional intelligence is significantly associated with reduced levels of perceived stress and concurrently linked to improved mental health outcomes. Both correlation and regression analysis provided compelling evidence that emotional intelligence substantially influences stress levels. Specifically, individuals, exhibiting elevated EI reported lower levels of perceived stress and consequently superior mental health outcomes. This corroborates the hypothesis that high emotional intelligence acts as a protective buffer against workplace stressors and is conducive to positive psychological health. Conversely there was a consistent correlation between a higher perceived stress level and worse mental health. As a key factor in determining psychological resilience and well-being in high-pressure work environments, this study emphasizes the critical significance of developing emotional intelligence. |
