The research contrasts the emotional intelligence of working and non-working women in Delhi, N.C.R., highlighting the significance of emotional intelligence in both personal and professional spheres, as it permits self-awareness, analysis, and control of emotions. The Delhi National Capital Region (N.C.R.) is home to a wide variety of social systems and cultures. Therefore, this research set out to compare and contrast the E.I. levels of working-age and non-working-age women living there. Fifty individuals were selected at random from different parts of the N.C.R. to participate as volunteers. Emotional intelligence was measured using the Emotional Intelligence Inventory, which classified it as either intrapersonal awareness or interpersonal awareness, with intrapersonal management being the more specific subtest. Statistical analysis was performed on the findings using S.P.S.S. software. Women of working age scored better on measures of emotional intelligence related to personal wellness, empathy, and family relationships, while women of non-working age scored higher on measures of flexibility, workplace interactions, and stress management. Emotional intelligence is multifaceted; women in the workforce see their jobs as necessary for developing E.I., but women in other occupations place a higher value on family and personal situations. Designing focused ways to promote emotional intelligence in women from all walks of life is influenced by the outcomes. The results may not apply to all women or all E.I. levels. Thus, more study is needed to validate and expand upon these preliminary results.
