Influence of Maternal Employment on Adolescents Emotional Intelligence

Abstract The fast industrialization and variety of occupations in India have had an impact on women. More and more, mothers are guys. It is challenging to juggle parenthood and employment. The way moms raise their children has a profound effect on their character development. A lot of moms also have jobs outside the home that they do to make ends meet. The attachment between a mother and her infant is unparalleled at any other age. They ought to be raised in a home that encourages the development of moral beliefs, self-confidence, and emotional intelligence. Examining the emotional intelligence of school-aged children whose moms work and those whose mothers do not was the primary goal of this research. This goal was accomplished by using the Emotional Intelligence Inventory developed by Mangal (2004). One hundred teenagers from different schools in Ranchi town were randomly chosen for the sample. Adolescent boys and girls who attend school were divided into two equal groups: those whose moms worked and those whose mothers did not. Adolescents whose moms work and those whose mothers do not show a statistically significant correlation in terms of emotional intelligence. It was observed that adolescents of non-working mothers showed higher emotional intelligence than adolescents of working mothers. Female experienced higher emotional intelligence as compared to male.
