Abstract:
The present study aims to review the existing literature relating to Emotional Intelligence
(EI), Work-Life Balance (WLB), and work-related well-being in order to build a model
depicting relationships between these variables. For this, various theoretical and empirical
studies, which specifically addressed these variables, were examined to build arguments and
propositions. These arguments lead us to propose that EI is a vital construct that impacts WLB
and various dimensions of work-related well-being, which are, job satisfaction, work
engagement and job stress. Further, it suggests that WLB mediates the relationship between
EI and work-related well-being. Thus, the paper presents a mediation model depicting
linkages between these three variables. It builds an integrative model which will help theorists
and researchers to extend literature on work-related well-being and will assist organisations
in designing their human resource policies and practices
