Conventionally, some typical emotional states are attached with gender i.e. females are considered to be
emotionally more expressive whereas males to be emotionally cool and stable. The present study seeks if this
difference exists even when they are at their workplace. Therefore, this study is aimed to explore the university
teachers’ emotional intelligence level with regard to their gender. Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory Short
Version (EQ-i:S) (Bar-On, 2002)was administered to conveniently selected university teachers (female= 399,
male= 480)in Punjab, Pakistan to assess their emotional quotient (EQ). It comprises five sub-scales:
interpersonal, intrapersonal, stress management, adaptability, and general mood. Findings of the study revealed
that female teachers’ mean score (M= 39.47, SD= 6.75) was significantly higher than that of male (M= 38.36,
SD=6.38) only on interpersonal skills t (879) = 2.518, p= .012, with small effect size (Cohen's d = 0.017). Both
gender groups were similar as far as remaining sub-factors and overall Emotional Intelligence (EI) are
concerned. The results clearly indicate that both male as well as female teachers are equal on EQi scores and
may handle all the difficulties in a similar way.
