In the framework of the research, 168 of the government, 432 of the private sector, who teach in the province of Gaziantep of Turkey, have been surveyed with a total of 600 educators and the data obtained have been analyzed through the SPSS-23 program. The Emotional Capital Reserve was developed by Newman and Purse (2007) to measure the emotional capital of teachers, and reduced by Newman and his friends (2015) to 30 items. The study found that some of the emotional capital subdimensions differ significantly from demographic variables according to gender, age group, institution and position, but they did not differ significantly in terms of civil status, educational status, professional experience and income status.
