Abstract: A 'star performer', needs to possess both technical and emotional capabilities. Therefore, this present study focused on finding the effect of emotional intelligence (EI) on team cohesion (TC) amongst engineering students in India. It further examined whether demographic factors moderate the effect of EI on TC. Using purposive sampling method, the study used a sample of 110 first year industrial engineering management (IEM) students to test the proposed hypotheses. Based on a simple linear regression analysis, the study revealed a significant relationship between EI and TC. However, when the demographic factors moderated the effect of EI on TC, the results was positive but statistically insignificant. These findings offer insights into how to deal with individual differences and how team mates could easily get along. The study concluded that EI adds and supports the theory of the effect of EI on TC amongst engineering students.
