Further, moderating role of work life balance on psychological well-being and organisational commitment was also explored.

Statistical techniques like confirmatory factor analyses, structure equation model (SEM) and hierarchical regression were employed to analyze the data. Further, reliability and validity tests were also performed. The study finds that emotional intelligence leads to organisational commitment through the partial mediation of psychological well-being.
