Role of Emotional Intelligence in Strengthening links of Teacher ManagementSkills with their Performance in HEIs of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan

Teacher’s management skills (TMS) determine his/her performance in the workplace however, there are many factors which affect relationships between TMS and teacher-performance (TP). One of the most highlighted factors is the emotional intelligence (EI) of teacher. In the current study, both personal EI (PEI) and social EI (SEI) have significantly played their role however, social EI has emerged as Full mediator confirming the assumption that for social interactions, SEI is more relevant than PEI. Positivism has been used as the research philosophy which emphasizes to accept facts and figures as knowledge if verified through observational ‘scientific-method’ for both data collection and analysis. Survey approach was applied on literature and field surveys with scientific treatment of data supplemented by statistical procedures. Correlations and mediations are significant with huge statistics thereby confirming the assumed interactions of variables. The study has implications for the stakeholder to consider EI as the major contributor towards positive relations between TMS and TP.
