Abstract
This research investigates the impact of emotional intelligence (EI) on personality domains and career search self-efficacy (CSE) among PhD Scholars. The objectives of this study are to determine the direct and indirect relationships between EI and the examined psychological constructs and to identify EI's mediating effects in these relationships. The research methodology employed is a quantitative study with a convenience sample of PhD scholars from different Pakistani universities. The study's results showed that EI positively correlated with CSE and neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness. Furthermore, EI was a significant mediator between personality and CSE, and it had a moderating effect on the relationship between personality domains with CSE. These findings demonstrate the importance of EI in academic achievements and successful career decision-making.
