Emotional Intelligence (EI) is one of the important factors that contributes to the success of individuals who assume various tasks and roles in a profession. It is also important in determining how individuals cope with the stress that can potentially limit their emotional relationships and their occupational efficiency. The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship between EI and perceived stress among the scientists in agricultural research service. The data was collected from 238 respondents by administering EI Test (EIT) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10). The results indicated that there were no gender differences with regard to EI. However, females scored higher in 'managing emotions' and 'empathy', whereas males obtained higher scores in 'motivating oneself'. Perceived stress was found to be higher in females. EI was positively correlated with age and negatively correlated with perceived stress. Since EI can be learned, it is suggested that capacity building programs for agricultural research scientists need to incorporate the competencies associated with EI into their training programs so as to deal with stress more effectively.
