Work-life balance (WLB) refers to an individual's capacity to meet job and family responsibilities, as well as other duties and hobbies. Maintaining a healthy WLB is important not just for relationships and wellness, but also for enhancing productivity and performance in organizations. Along with relationships, leadership, harmony, and communication, emotional intelligence appears to be an important component of mental abilities connected to WLB and achievement in life. Emotional intelligence (EI) is all about understanding and managing emotions effectively to alleviate stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome obstacles, and settle conflicts. Both the WLB and EI play a vital role among individuals in controlling their emotions, navigating relationships, and creating supportive jobs. Organizations can benefit from increasing the employee's talents by educating them and promoting a positive thinking culture. In this context, the study aims to understand the relationship between WLB and EI among the employees who are working in IT Sectors. The study is conducted as quantitative research by choosing 100 respondents working in IT sectors between the age of 21 to 50 years by using a convenience sampling method to collect the data from the respondents. The study follows the theoretical framework applying the ‘Boundary Theory’ proposed by Nippert Eng (1996) on managing between the work and personal lives. The findings of the study revealed that there is a positive correlation between WLB and EI among the employees working in the IT sector. Additionally, the study found that 62% of employees reported a medium level of work-life balance, and 76% of employees had a medium level of emotional intelligence.
