Abstract
The present research aims to study the relation between emotional intelligence and organizational culture during the Covid-19 pandemic. Emotional intelligence is an individual's ability to understand and manage their own and others' emotions. This ability can be instrumental in driving the culture of universities and colleges. During this crucial time of Covid-19, there is a sudden shift from traditional/ face-to-face teaching to online/hybrid education; it is vital to provide a congenial environment and culture to teachers and students to promote a smooth and amiable teaching/learning experience. The data was collected from a sample of 10 colleges of higher education from NCR. The respondents included academicians of different academic ranks. 232 questionnaires were received, out of which 213 respondent's data was usable. Convenience sampling was used in this research to collect data from the colleges. According to the findings, there is a strong relation between emotional intelligence and organizational culture. The organizational culture and its dimensions are strongly affected by emotional intelligence. The most robust relationship exists between managing emotions and managing change in the organization.
