Abstract: The present work is intended to investigate the effect of emotional intelligence (EI) in diminishing occupational stress (OS) and identify the factors responsible for stress among scientists of CSIR in India. This study is based on a quantitative method and used structured questionnaires (WLEIS and OSI of Srivastava and Singh) for online data collection. The sample consists of 130 respondents. The study's findings showed that EI and OS do not vary according to the participants' demographic parameters such as age, marital status, position, and work experience, except for gender. There was an inverse relationship between EI and the respondents' OS. Moreover, low status, personal accountability, low involvement, and unfavourable peer dynamics were the main causes of OS. However, this study will help the scientists and the government become more aware and sensitive to the risks and difficulties of work stress they may face presently.
