Abstract

The study was designed to examine the relationship between
teaching competency and emotional intelligence of secondary school
teachers. Participants were 100 secondary school teachers who
completed the General Teaching Competency Scale (GTCS), and
Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS). The findings of the study reveal a
significant positive relationship between teachers' teaching competency
and their emotional intelligence. But insignificant difference is found
between teaching competency as well as between emotional intelligence
of secondary school teachers teaching in government and private
schools. The study also indicated that teaching competency and
emotional intelligence are not influenced by gender.
