Emotional intelligence is one of the most important psychological factors studied to understand the mechanisms that affect workers' current and future attitudes, impressions, and behaviors in service institutions, especially in light of globalization and technological advancements. This study aimed to test the impact of emotional intelligence on organizational commitment and job performance for employees working at the University of Technology and Applied Sciences, specifically technical colleges. The study followed the quantitative methodology and employed the questionnaire as the primary tool for data collection, which was distributed electronically to administrative employees in the seven colleges of technology using the convenient sampling method. The researcher obtained 259 valid responses for the analysis. In addition, SPSS was used to answer the study questions and test its hypotheses. The findings of the study showed that there is a strong and significant positive relationship between emotional intelligence and job performance, while the relationship between emotional intelligence and organizational commitment came to a medium degree. In addition, the results showed that "motivation" is the most influential dimension of emotional intelligence in affecting organizational commitment and job performance. The results also found significant differences in the respondents' responses about emotional intelligence due to the age groups. The study concluded with a set of recommendations, most notably the need to understand and activate the role of emotional intelligence in the higher education sector so that individuals can work with this thought in the future in all matters of life. In addition, intensive training courses in emotional intelligence should be organized because of its significant impact on the development of educational institutions.
