Abstract: In the fast-paced business world of today, fostering workplace productivity and well-being requires an understanding of how employees handle stress. This study examines how organizational culture, stress coping strategies, and emotional intelligence interact with one another among Bangalore's corporate workforce, both male and female. Data were gathered through an online survey using a quantitative methodology, and JAMOVI software was used for analysis. In particular, the study looks at how coping strategies vary by gender, how emotional intelligence affects coping effectiveness, and how it mediates the relationship between stress coping and organizational culture. Important statistical analyses, such as multiple regression, correlation, and mediation analysis, showed that emotional intelligence mediates the impact of organizational culture on coping strategies and significantly predicts stress coping. Organizational culture had a statistically significant indirect impact through emotional intelligence, even though it did not directly predict coping strategies. The results provide important insights for creating organizational interventions that improve employee well-being and highlight the crucial role that emotional intelligence plays in promoting efficient stress management in business settings.
