    El objetivo de esta investigación es examinar el impacto de la inteligencia emocional en la felicidad en el trabajo. Además, se explora el papel mediador de la resiliencia en la relación entre la inteligencia emocional y la felicidad en el trabajo. Las hipótesis se comprobarán a través de modelos de ecuaciones estructurales basados en covarianzas, en una muestra de 218 profesores de la etapa de Educación Secundaria y Formación Profesional. Los resultados revelan dos importantes contribuciones. En primer lugar, la inteligencia emocional promueve la felicidad en el trabajo cuando es capaz de desarrollar la resiliencia. En segundo lugar, esta investigación ofrece una escala de medida adaptada a la población profesores. Además, direc-tivos y cargos públicos disponen ahora de una nueva herramienta para fomentar la felicidad en el trabajo.

    The aim of this research is to examine the impact of emotional intelligence on happiness at work. In addition, the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between emotional intel-ligence and happiness at work is explored. Structural equation modelling based on covariance was used to check the proposed hypotheses. A sample of 218 teachers working in Secondary Education in Spain was examined. The results revealed two main important contributions. First, emotional intelligence only fosters happiness at work when it develops resilience. Second, this study offers an emotional intelligence measurement scale tailored to teachers. The managerial and policy makers decisions have a new tool to foster happiness at work
