Emotional intelligence is measured by five core skills of self-awareness, self-management, self-motivation, social-awareness and relationship management in the EQ model of Bradberry and Greaves (2005). The required data was collected using a researcher-made questionnaire designed based on the existing research literature which after being verified for content validation, construct, and internal consistency was distributed among 291 respondents chosen from among the target population with a total size of 1,200 women teachers within Khoy City. Data analysis using structural equation modelling (path analysis) in LISREL environment indicated a statistically significant inverse association between women's emotional intelligence and power structure in family of the teachers in Khoy City, confirming the research main hypothesis at 95% confidence interval.
