Emotional Intelligence (EI) has emerged as a pivotal construct bridging multiple academic disciplines, from its psychological foundations to applications in education, organizational management, and beyond. This paper examines EI through a multidisciplinary lens, exploring its theoretical underpinnings, applications across humanities, commerce and management, and pure and applied sciences. The analysis reveals that while EI originated in psychology, its influence now extends to diverse fields including education, neuroscience, organizational behaviour, and even digital technology. Drawing on recent scholarship from 2024-2026, this paper synthesizes current research trends, identifies cross-disciplinary connections, and proposes future research directions that leverage EI's integrative potential.
