Introduction

The development of human resources is the most important component for the success, development, and attainment of goals in any business. Human resources in the education sector are dedicated, trustworthy, diligent, have a positive work environment, and are qualified personnel. The necessary conditions must be created in order to fulfill any institute’s objectives so that employees may do their assigned tasks in a supportive environment with inclination and satisfaction and with the necessary productivity to meet organizational objectives. Job satisfaction is a crucial component of the administrative environment and a crucial element in worker association. When a worker’s work appears to accomplish core occupational objectives and those values are placed in alignment with personal requirements, it creates an upbeat emotional condition (Jorfi, Yaccob, & Shah, 2011). Job satisfaction is a topic of extensive research in both academia and business. It is defined as a pleasant emotional mood resulting from an evaluation of one’s work or experience. A worker’s sentimental response to their work which is an outcome of the anticipated effect from their employment is the source of job happiness (Jorfi & Jorfi, 2011). The degree to which a person is proud of his work is a measure of job satisfaction. Emotional intelligence is seen as a crucial factor that might impact people’s productivity and the quality of their job (Laila and Shehla, 2011). It is suggested that employing emotional intelligence is crucial, especially for “caring” professions like teaching (Brackett et al., 2010). Whether or not a lecturer is successful in their employment can be determined by their understanding, consideration, and ability to express emotions in the right manner (Ciarrochi et al., 2011). A lecturer is the key player in the educational system and is responsible for several significant tasks. They had to be dedicated to their careers and their personal lives if they wanted to pursue a career as teachers. Therefore, in order to increase their job happiness, instructors should be well-versed in emotional intelligence theory and practice. Conversely, if lecturers are content with their work, it may have an impact on their behavior and self-perception and foster positive relationships with the community, students, and other lecturers.
