The collected data were fed into SPSS-21 software and analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA.

Results: Emotional intelligence was reported to be good in 133 (88.7%) faculty members, moderate in 15 (10%) faculty members and very good in 2 (1.3%) faculty members. There was a significantly positive correlation between emotional intelligence and the faculty members’ evaluation score reported by the students (p=0.047, r=0.28). No significant correlation, however, was reported between emotional intelligence and work experience, age, marital status and gender.
