This article aims to highlight the relevance of the direct and indirect impact of various psychological variables on the performance of the school teachers. The present study, therefore, attempts to explore the mediating effect of perseverance on the relationship between emotional intelligence and purpose in life of school teachers. A sample of 200 school teachers from sub-urban cities of Haryana (India) participated in the present study. The collected data was pertinent to Pearson’s correlation and mediation analysis by Preacher and Hayes (2004). The results deduced a significant positive correlation among the key study variables. The article illustrated partial mediation between the key study variables (emotional intelligence, persevernce and purpose in life), hence justifying the study hypothesis. The authors discussed the necessary implications and prospects of the study.
