The study aims to evaluate the association of Emotional Intelligence (EI) with Organizational Role Stress (ORS) among post-graduate students of public health and healthcare management at various institutes in India. Evidence indicates a depletion and exhaustion of mental and physical energies due to the numerous demands on both post-graduate students personal and professional fronts. Long-term exposure to such demands has been shown to have dysfunctional consequences on students, which can cause stress in their roles. Individuals with higher emotional Intelligence have been perceived to use stress-coping mechanisms effectively.A total of 157 students in post-graduate degree programs in public health and healthcare management were surveyed for data. The 50-item Organizational Role Stress scale and 33-item emotional intelligence scale were used to collect the required data. The findings demonstrate an insignificant correlation between organizational stress and emotional Intelligence. However, among the ten role stressors, inter-role distance and role erosion exhibit a significant positive correlation with emotional Intelligence.
