I am a Ph.D student of management and look forward to work on impact of Emotional intelligence on job satisfaction. Kindly help me by recommending standardised questionnaires to carry out my work
You can get questionnaire from previous PhD or Masters theses on your topic and can use after adapting according to the context of your research. Also you can check these,
I am not sure what the issue is behind your question - selecting a measure 9there are several) or actually getting access to it.
http://www.eiconsortium.org/measures/measures.html gives a useful list of measures that have had some degree of validation and crucially gives contact details for publishers or authors. In my past experience authors will often allow non profit researchers use their measure for free. In this case contacting the publisher might not be the best approach - better to get an email address for the main author from a publication if it's not available here and contact them direct. But first choose your preferred measure!

I use the WLEIS for research on EI in the workplace. In my opinion WLEIS is the best tool for evaluating EI in the workplace. Here is a short explanation about the scale and the reasons we chose to use it (Taken from: Meisler & Vigoda-Gadot, 2014):
Emotional Intelligence - We used the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS; Law et al., 2004; Wong and Law, 2002), to measure emotional intelligence. We chose to use this self-report scale for five main reasons. First, the WLEIS is consistent with Mayer and Salovey's definition of EI (Mayer and Salovey, 1997) and is based on the ability model presented by these scholars. Second, recent studies have tested and retested this scale in different cultures (Law et al., 2008; Law et al., 2004; Shi and Wang, 2007) and different ethnic and gender groups (Whitman et al., 2011), and established it as a solid measure with sound validity and reliability. Third, unlike other self-report EI scales that have been criticized for not being conceptually different from measures of personality, the WLEIS has been found to be distinct from the Big Five personality model (Law et al., 2004). Fourth, this parsimonious 16-item scale was specifically developed for use in organizations (Law et al., 2004; Wong and Law, 2002). Last, in a recent study (Law et al., 2008) the WLEIS was found to be a better predictor of objective job performance compared to the performance-based emotional intelligence test, MSCEIT (Mayer et al., 2000).
The scale consists of four dimensions: self emotion appraisal; others' emotion appraisal; regulation of emotion; and use of emotion. Sample items for this measure are: (1) "I have a good sense of why I have certain feelings most of the time"; (2) "I always know my friends' emotions from their behavior"; (3) "I always set goals for myself and then try my best to achieve them"; and (4) "I am able to control my temper so that I can handle difficulties rationally". The reliability of the scale was 0.88.
You can find the scale in the following manuscripts:
