The research is an attempt to find out the relationship between teachers' socio-emotional skills and students’ performance at the postgraduate level. The objectives of the study were to identify the socio-emotional skills of teachers and to measure the relationship between the socio-emotional skills of teachers and the construct of students’ performance at the postgraduate level. The study was quantitative and descriptive in nature. The correlational survey design was adopted. Three public sector universities of district Faisalabad, such as UE Faisalabad, GCUF, and GCWUF, were the accessible population of the study. By using a convenient sampling technique, a total sample of 357 BS program students (211 female and 146 male) were selected from different departments of the three public sector universities. A structured and self-developed questionnaire was used to collect the data from the BS program students. The expert opinion and Cronbach’s Alpha value techniques were used to assess the questionnaire’s validity and reliability. All of the questionnaire statements were close-ended, and the respondents’ perceptions were gauged using a five-point Likert scale. The collected data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS version 22). The results showed that self-awareness, social awareness and relationship management were at higher levels in teachers than self-management and responsible decision-making.
