The COVID-19 pandemic has changed social interactions in Bali, which is famous for its Ngayah tradition, a form of mutual cooperation in social and religious activities. Social restrictions have affected the emotional intelligence and interpersonal relationships of the Balinese people. This study aims to analyze the influence of the Ngayah tradition and emotional intelligence on the interpersonal relationships of the Balinese people during and after the pandemic. The method used is a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative questionnaires and qualitative interviews. The research sample consisted of 123 respondents who were actively involved in the Ngayah tradition, selected using purposive sampling. The results of the quantitative analysis show that emotional intelligence has a greater influence on interpersonal relationships than the Ngayah tradition, with a regression coefficient of 0.527 for emotional intelligence and 0.231 for Ngayah. These findings indicate that emotional intelligence enables individuals to manage their emotions and interact more effectively, while Ngayah continues to play an important role, especially for those actively involved in social activities. In conclusion, emotional intelligence is a major factor in maintaining the quality of social relationships, while the Ngayah tradition remains relevant in strengthening social solidarity in Bali. This study emphasizes the importance of emotional intelligence and the preservation of local traditions in facing future social challenges.
