Scope of thesis: 65 pages, 2 pictures, 28 charts, 89 references. The main objective of the research is to evaluate the impact of a leader's emotional intelligence on psychological well-being at work, mediated by trust in the leader and moderated by employee age. The work consists of three parts: literature review, research methodology and results analysis. The literature review section explores the concept and models of emotional intelligence, aspects of evaluating another person’s emotional intelligence, the concept of trust in a manager and its role in organizations, as well as the concept and importance of psychological well-being. Additionally, the work analyzes scientific studies already conducted on these factors. The methodological section presents the conceptual research model and the three constructs it is based on. The study involved 242 respondents, of which 235 responses passed the reliability check and were used in the results analysis. Cronbach's alpha coefficients were calculated for the constructs, demonstrating their reliability. Skewness and Kurtosis values indicated data distribution close to normal. Regression analysis was performed using A. Hayes' SPSS 4.2 plugin with Model 8. The conclusions at the end of the work summarize the empirical research results and provide recommendations. Based on the research results six hypotheses were confirmed, four were rejected. A statistically significant relationship was identified between a leader's emotional intelligence, trust in the leader, and psychological well-being at work. It was proven that among the four emotional intelligence components, the use of emotions has a significant positive effect on psychological well-being. The effects of other components—self and others' emotional evaluation and emotion management—were rejected. The moderating effect of age on the relationship between a leader's emotional intelligence and trust in the leader, as well as the moderating effect of age on the relationship between a leader's emotional intelligence and psychological well-being at work, were identified. The mediating effect of trust in the leader on the relationship between a leader's emotional intelligence and psychological well-being at work was confirmed. |
