A sample of 1403 teachers (939 male and 464 female), (1089 govt. and 314), (297 Urban and1106 Rural) were chosen from secondary schools of Doda, Kishtwar and Ramban district of union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Organizational climate scale for teachers developed by Venita Singh and emotional intelligence scale developed by Nahid and Jamal Sajjid. The data were analysed using descriptive analyses (mean, standard deviation, t-test, and coefficient of correlation ‘r’). Result of the study exhibit that there is significant interaction between emotional intelligence and organizational climate of secondary school teachers. Thus, the null hypothesis, “ that there is no significant correlation between organizational climate and emotional intelligence ” is rejected. Further, the effect size (commonness) between organizational climate and emotional intelligence is 19%. It means two variables share 19% variance between them. The implication of this paper is to provide an insight and efficient information related to organizational climate and emotional intelligence which is prerequisite in improving teacher’s performance in schools. This study has suggested a feasible research strategy that would be helpful to gain a good organizational climate as well as maximize the emotional intelligence of teachers.
