Background: Cultural intelligence refers to the skill to relate and work effectively in culturally diverse situations. It's the capability to cross boundaries and prosper in multiple cultures. Sedentary activity refers to the act of sitting for extended periods with minimal muscle movement. Emotional regulation, refers to the processes by which individuals influence which emotions they have, when they have them, and how they experience and express these emotions. Quality of work life is a generic phrase that covers a person's feelings about every dimension of work including economic reward and benefits, security, working conditions, organizational and interpersonal relationship, and its intrinsic meaning in a person's life. Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine the role of cultural intelligence, sedentary behaviour on emotional regulation, quality of work life of corporate employees, and to find out is there any difference in emotional regulation and quality of work life among public and private corporate employees. Methods: A descriptive survey research design was used with convenient sampling; total 148 corporate employees were selected in this study. Data were collected using four psychological tools namely, Cultural Intelligence Scale, Sedentary Behaviour Questionnaire, Emotional Regulation Scale, Work-related Quality of Life Scale, in Purulia, Bankura, Howrah district of West Bengal. Descriptive statistics, regression and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. Result & Conclusion: Through this study it is concluded that cultural Intelligence and sedentary behaviour have significantly predicted quality of work life of corporate employees. However, no significant association has been found between Cultural Intelligence and Emotional Regulation. This indicates that while cultural Intelligence may contribute to a better overall work experience, it does not necessarily enhance an individual's ability to manage emotions. Sedentary behaviour negatively influence emotional regulation and it's positively influenced quality of work life. In the present study no significant difference among private and public sector have been found in terms of emotional regulations and quality of work life of employees. Hence more geographical area with large number sample is suggested for future research.
