Stress and emotional intelligence are crucial attributes that significantly influence an individual's performance. The objective of this study is to enhance comprehension of the correlations among the stress levels, emotional state, and performance of faculty members. Faculty members can enhance their effectiveness and achieve more success by comprehending the factors that influence work performance. The sample was collected from 355 faculty members of the Doaba Region of Punjab. Emotional intelligence is a crucial component that significantly impacts the research productivity and teaching effectiveness of faculty members. The study employed a descriptive research design and utilized the questionnaire method for data collection. Regression analysis is employed to determine the factors that can predict work performance. Although stress does not appear to have a substantial impact on teacher effectiveness, controlling one's emotional intelligence seems to play a more important part in a teacher's ability to carry out their duties efficiently. By comprehending these dynamics, institutions can devise tactics to bolster faculty members in their jobs and consequently, elevate the general caliber of higher education.
