“The Impact of Emotional Intelligence on Job Satisfaction: A Quantitative Analysis”

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and job satisfaction among employees working across diverse industries. A sample of 120 participants completed standardized EI and job satisfaction measures. Reliability analysis indicated strong internal consistency for all scales. Pearson correlations revealed a moderate positive relationship between EI and job satisfaction (r = 0.39). Linear regression analysis further demonstrated that EI significantly predicted job satisfaction, accounting for approximately 15.2% of its variance. A one-way ANOVA showed no significant differences in job satisfaction across job positions. Principal component analysis supported a unidimensional structure of the EI construct. These findings suggest that emotional intelligence plays a meaningful role in predicting employee job satisfaction and highlight the potential value of EI-oriented development programs in organizational settings.
