Objectives: The purpose of the present research was to evaluate the effects of working life on emotional self-awareness by making a comparison between working women and non-working in terms of their emotional self-awareness levels. Methods: This research consists of two studys. In the first stage, Emotional Self-Awareness subscale of the Emotional Quotient Map was translated into Turkish and psychometric characteristics of the scale were investigated comprehensively (n=1551). Out of these participants, 98 people took place in the retest study, which was scheduled to be administered 15 days after the first application, and 102 people participated in the discriminant and criterion validity study. In order to examine the factor structure, explanatory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed. Additionally, correlation coefficient was calculated for the test-retest reliability and for discriminant and criterion validities. Results: Results of these analyses suggest the scale has met the basic psychometric requirements and has a valid structure. The second part of the study was conducted with 146 women working in various revenue-generating jobs and 163 non-working women, a total of 309 participants between 19-73 ages. Two-way analyses of variance were carried out to compare emotional self-awareness scores in association with socio-demographic variables. Originality: A comparison of the two groups’ scores reveals that women working in revenue-generating jobs tend to be more emotionally self-aware then women who do not work. The findings were discussed in line with the related
