Emotional intelligence to a greater extent is influenced by factors like environment, financial independence, family, and thought process.

This study aimed at understanding the difference between the emotional intelligence of these two groups, if any, and analyzing the source of these differences. Author compared the level of emotional intelligence of working and non-working women in Jaipur, India and explored further how it affects their performance in balancing life.
