A growing body of research demonstrate that emotional intelligence (EI) is a better predictor of “success” than the traditional measure of cognitive intelligence (IQ) (Kamboj, 2014, Rai & Rao, 2014, Palmer, Donaldson, & Stough, 2002). The workplace is an ideal environment for individuals to develop their social and emotional skills, as they are motivated to develop those capabilities in pursuit of success and promotion. This study aims to find the levels of emotional intelligence of the executives working in Indian manufacturing industries and compare with age and experience. 14-item EI scale developed by Chadha and Singh (2006) was adopted for collecting the data. The results of the study revealed that executives working in Indian manufacturing industries have high level of EI. However, there is a significant difference between EI levels based on age and experience in the industry.
