Emotional intelligence as a topic or concept is widespread, and numerous empirical, conceptual, and exploratory studies have been conducted in human resources, organizational behavior, business, and management. Nevertheless, no scientific mapping or attempt to map the literature scientifically in the domain has been done. Hence, the paper intends to showcase the trends in emotional intelligence research through the symbiosis of knowledge structures. An analysis using bibliometric tools in emotional intelligence was conducted. A sample of 12129 documents was extracted from the Scopus database. This was based on a search strategy determined by the author/researcher. The R-language was used for the study, which has a web-based application. It is included in the bibliometric package. This software enabled the analysis of the dataset, and various themes, patterns, and trends were identified based on the authors, countries, and citations. Results show that the field/domain of emotional intelligence needs direction. There is also a pressing need for interdisciplinary research in this area. The article provides some crucial insights on areas that need further inquiry. The conceptual and social network structure depicts a downward trend in terms of this area of research. The current paper only had the Scopus Database as its backdrop. Future researchers could use multiple databases, such as the Web of Science, and conduct a comparative study. A systematic literature review would widen the scope and also help identify some of the niche unchartered territories of emotional intelligence.
