Grounded in prior research linking stress to reduced program quality and poorer youth social-emotional development, the study tests whether supervisors with higher emotional intelligence experience lower stress. Results show a negative correlation, suggesting emotional intelligence supports effective program management.

Toledo  \nAfterschool supervisors are responsible for managing their teams, building curricula, maintaining relationships with parents and community partners, solving crises, and implementing the latest trends in 21st century learning, all of which can create a high-stress work environment (Kremer et al., 2015) .  \nHigh levels of stress among supervisors can diminish afterschool program quality and negatively affect the learning and development of children and youth (Geisinger, 2016) . Highly stressed afterschool supervisors may not be able to effectively enhance underserved children’s social and emotional development (Frazier et al. , 2019) . One solution may be training in emotional intelligence. In other fields, high emotional intelligence among leaders was  \nfound to mitigate workplace stress and to increase job productivity, job satisfaction, and attainment of positive results (e.g. , Lumpkin & Achen, 2018) .  \nMy study helps address the lack of scientific research on the role of emotional intelligence in afterschool supervisors’ ability to manage stress at work. In this quantitative correlational study, I investigated the relationship between the emotional intelligence of afterschool supervisors serving low-income communities in New York City and their perceived workplace stress. I found a negative correlation—that is, supervisors with higher emotional intelligence tended to have lower workplace stress. The results can  \nSONIA M.

Dignity of Children serves afterschool programs nationally, providing exceptional child and youth development trainings.  \nhelp afterschool supervisors and organization leaders understand the importance of emotional intelligence for effective program management. Equipped with that understanding, they can identify resources supervisors need to manage their workplace stress, facilitate 21st century learning, and mitigate the effects on youth of adverse environments.  \nmany afterschool programs struggle to provide youth  \nwith tools to help them thrive (Frazier et al. , 2019) .  \nAn important element in the quality of afterschool programs is the capacity of afterschool practitioners to handle stress and deliver results in a fast-paced environment (Farrell et al. , 2019; Larson, 2018) .
