Over time, emotional intelligence (EMI) has been linked with different aspects of life, such as professional, social, and personal relationships, and it has been studied well in education. However, most studies have shown their interest in school life, learning, academic grades, and social behavior of teachers and students, but these voluntarily ignored the crucial aspects of socio-economic and technological factors under the EMI theme.
The Common Correlated Effect Mean Group (CCE-MG) and Augmented Mean Group (AMG) are being used to investigate the study's objectives. The present study tries to introduce the core EMI determinants for 26 OECD economies, covering a period of 2005–2022. This study considers income, urbanization, digital transformation, number of teachers, and secondary school education. The obtained results describe a positive role of income and digital transformation in EMI. However, urbanization describes a negative association with EMI. Conversely, secondary-level education and teachers perform well in managing EMI issues. Based on the results, this study suggests some core implications for strengthening EMI.
