The ongoing transformation of higher education requires not only the enhancement of teachers’ professional competencies but also the development of new approaches to increasing their professional engagement and motivation. The digitalization of educational processes, the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence technologies, and changes in the academic environment have a direct impact on teachers’ emotional resilience, their ability to manage professional stress, and their overall work performance. In this context, the integration of emotional intelligence and digital technologies is considered an important factor in supporting the professional development of higher education teachers.

This article analyzes the pedagogical potential of applying emotional intelligence-based digital technologies to enhance the professional engagement of higher education teachers. The study examines mechanisms for monitoring teachers’ emotional well-being and fostering professional engagement through digital platforms, artificial intelligence tools, online assessment systems, digital coaching, and analytical services. The paper presents the pedagogical opportunities offered by emotional intelligence-based digital technologies in higher education institutions and highlights their role in creating supportive and sustainable professional environments for educators.
