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.
