Abstract	This paper explores the nexus between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and the application of stress management among male blue-collar workers in education; these include maintenance workers, custodians, and facilities managers. Focusing on a glaring gap left in the existing literature, this paper uses an enormous survey study to deconstruct how workers perceive and manage work-related stressors using dimensions of EI, like self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. Findings in this study also reflect strong negative relationships between EI and perceived occupational stress-showing that a higher level of EI allows persons to cope better with stress, therefore yielding improved health outcomes and better job routine. Organizational commitment and job satisfaction are also positively correlated with EI, meaning that the more emotional intelligence workers possess, the more loyal and motivated they will be. Chief strategies of handling stress identified include prioritizing, communication, time management, and relaxation techniques-all facilitated by higher EI. Not surprisingly, the study found that blue-collar men are indeed practicing active emotional well-being through professional counseling, mindfulness, and other forms of well-being practices. This further destroys popular stereotypes about this group's emotional control. Develop EI through targeted training: Turnover is reduced through increased productivity and a harmonious workplace culture. The research findings reveal how the development of emotional intelligence in male blue-collar workers in education institutions is beneficial to health and effectiveness at work and to institutional strength and resilience. In future studies, organizational support to develop emotional intelligence and comparative analysis between types of industries and gender groups should be considered.
