Abstract
The working environment is increasing under tremendous strain because of the emergence of new technology, specialised services, the innovation revolution, the explosion of creativity, and a wide choice of possibilities, especially in the wake of globalisation. Achieving a healthy work-life balance has grown an importance in the fast-paced, highly competitive workplace of today. It is common knowledge that workers' attitudes regarding work-life balance possess a significant impact on their general well-being, level of job satisfaction, and productivity. The purpose of this study is to determine the degree to which emotional intelligence impacts employee views of green work-life balance. The rising prioritisation of sustainability activities by organisations underscores the necessity to comprehend employee perceptions and strategies around green work-life balance. Considering its importance in decision-making and interpersonal interactions, emotional intelligence could be among the key elements in forming these opinions. This study aims to reveal the impact of emotional intelligence on workers' perceptions and interactions with green work-life balance policies. The outcomes of this study can provide important perspectives to companies seeking to cultivate environmentally conscious workplaces that give equal weight to worker health and environmental sustainability. 
The notion of emotional intelligence, which includes the ability to identify, comprehend, and regulate both one's own and other people's feelings, has attracted an abundance of interest because of its potential impact on several organisational outcomes. But little is known about how it influences how people view a work-life balance that is ecologically responsible. This study aims to add theoretical support for the connection among emotional intelligence and views of green work-life balance, thereby assisting with the growing body of knowledge on sustainable organisational practices. The study's conclusions may influence HR practices, educational initiatives, and management approaches that try to develop a workforce that is more emotionally and environmentally aware, which would help the organisation achieve its sustainability objectives along with environmental ones.
