Dr. V. Ponni

Abstract

It is a well accepted fact that the quality of the nation depends upon the quality of the education imparted to its citizens which in turn depends upon the quality of its teachers. The term quality of teachers includes all the personality dimensions of a teacher i.e. span of knowledge, teaching skills and teacher behavior comprising his/her emotional intelligence.  An emotionally competent teacher is the heart and soul of any educational program and venture. Learning becomes a pleasure, student dropout decreases and children work from setbacks through hope to success only in the presence and able guidance of the emotionally intelligent teachers. The study aims to find out the emotional intelligence of the selected secondary school teachers in Chennai city and their organizational climate. This paper intends to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence and organizational climate of secondary school teachers. The sample consists of 705 secondary school teachers of which 110 are male and 595  are female. Data was collected using approximate tools and analysed by ‘t’ test and Karl Pearson product moment correlation.  The result indicates that there is no significant relationship between emotional intelligence and organizational climate of the secondary school teachers. However, it was found that there is significant difference in the emotional intelligence of the secondary school teacher age wise and types of school wise. But there is no significant difference in the organizational climate of the secondary school teachers based on age, gender and types of school.
