“Enhancing Academic Success: The Role of Emotional Intelligence in University Studentsâ€

This study investigates the role of Emotional Intelligence (EI) in enhancing academic success among university students. The problem addressed is the growing concern over academic performance and the need for effective strategies to improve it. The aim of the study is to explore how different components of EI—self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills—affect academic success, as measured by GPA, retention rates, and academic engagement. Utilizing a cross-sectional research design, the study surveyed university students using validated questionnaires to assess their EI levels and academic performance. Data were analyzed using statistical methods to identify relationships between EI components and academic success, while considering the moderating effects of academic environment and student demographics, and the mediating roles of stress management and academic engagement.
