“Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world.” (2003)- Nelson Mandela. Teachers are often called craftsmen as they mould the lives of the learners and shape the future of nations according to the needs of society. They work hard to achieve the aims and objectives of education. Sometimes they confront severe conflicts in roles to play while doing their job in school and with various family responsibilities simultaneously. Nowadays, the teachers in West Bengal are engaged with different non-academic works, which increases the workload and burden on them. At this juncture, the researcher took an interest to find out the role conflict of the secondary level teachers in relation to their emotional intelligence. The researcher used Teacher’s Role Conflict Scale (TRCS) (TRCS) developed by Madhu Gupta and Indu Nain and Teacher’s Emotional Intelligence Scale developed by Nahid Ashraf and Sajid Jamal to assess the role conflict and emotional intelligence of the teachers respectively. The findings of the research revealed that emotional intelligence is highly correlated with role conflict for males, females and the total sample of the teachers at the secondary level. Emotional intelligence has a high contribution in predicting the role conflict of the teachers. The researcher suggested in improving the level of emotional intelligence and taking care of the over increasing workloads on the teachers.
