The Relationship between Emotional intelligence and quality of life

Abstract Research has consistently shown a strong link between emotional intelligence (EI) and quality of life (QoL). Emotional intelligence contributes significantly to various aspects of an individual's well-being, influencing both psychological and social dimensions of quality of life. 80 respondents were examined, 40 women (50%) and 40 men (50%), aged 18 to 65 years. All live in Skopje (100%). In terms of ethnicity, all respondents are Macedonian (100%). In terms of employment and education, all respondents are employed and have faculty degree (100%). Emotional Competence Questionnaire (UEK-45) is used for assessing emotional inteligence. Quality of life is assessed with WHOQOL-BREF. The positive correlation between emotional intelligence and quality of life is found in the actual research. High emotional intelligence facilitates better psychological well-being, physical health, social relationships, and success in personal and professional domains. These factors collectively contribute to a higher quality of life.
