Abstract

I want to draw attention to emotional intelligence (EI) and how it interacts with team dynamics, especially team-member exchange (TMX), which is a crucial but little-studied factor in determining the quality of education in Pakistan. The socio-emotional skills of teachers and the caliber of their professional interactions are still mainly disregarded, despite the fact that national educational reforms have concentrated on curriculum innovation, teacher certification, and digital transformation. It is becoming more widely acknowledged that emotional intelligence is the capacity to detect, control, and manage emotions in both oneself and others and it is also a predictor of professional performance (Law et al., 2004). High-EI teachers typically create more inclusive learning environments, better handle classroom stress, and increase student involvement. Emotional intelligence (EI) is a vital psychological resource in Pakistan's educational system, which is frequently marked by heavy workloads, subpar student-teacher ratios, and little administrative assistance (Pervaiz et al., 2019).
