Emotions play significant parts in a person’s life, and to live successfully, one needs to have higher emotional intelligence. At schools, colleges, and universities, research has shown a connection between emotional intelligence (EI) and role efficacy (Penrose, Perry, & Ball, 2007). This study looked into the relationship between role efficacy and emotional intelligence among Haryana police officers. As police officers go about their daily lives, we need to better understand their emotional experiences. The purpose of the current study was to examine the connection between role efficacy and emotional intelligence. The sample comprises of 115 police officers (constables & head constables) from different Haryana districts. With the use of stepwise regression and product movement correlation, it was also possible to analyse the relationship between emotional intelligence and the effectiveness of these police officers’ roles. The emotional intelligence of the chosen sample was evaluated using the “Emotional intelligence scale” (Bhattacharya, Dutta, & Mandal, 2004) and the present sample’s role efficacy was assessed using the “Role efficacy scale” (UdaiPareek, 2002). The findings demonstrated a significant positive association between role efficacy and emotional intelligence. Two subscales of the assisting connections and creativity scales, two of the six Role Efficacy components, were found to be effective predictors of Emotional intelligence by stepwise regression analysis.
