A Study on Emotional Intelligence, Gaslighting, And Happiness on Male and Female Employees in the Workplace

Abstract

Ensuring the happiness of employees is just as important as attracting and retaining top talent in an organization. Leaders today need to understand the factors that contribute to employee happiness in the workplace. This study aims to examine the role of emotional intelligence, gaslighting, and happiness on job effectiveness, performance, and self-worth. To achieve this, a quantitative approach is adopted to evaluate the responses of male and female employees. The study uses the General Emotional Intelligence Scale developed by Daniel Goleman, the Gaslighting at Work Scale developed by Stern in 2007, and the Happiness Scale developed by Lyubomirsky and Lepper in 1999 for data collection. Statistical analysis will be conducted to establish correlations between emotional intelligence, gaslighting, happiness, and their impact on job effectiveness, performance, and self-worth. The research aims to explore how emotional intelligence and gaslighting experiences affect employee happiness in the workplace. The study also seeks to examine any gender differences in emotional intelligence, gaslighting, and happiness. The results of this research will help organizations develop targeted interventions to enhance employee happiness and mitigate the impact of gaslighting. Overall, this study can contribute to the field of organizational psychology by identifying the factors that impact employee happiness and well-being in the workplace. It can provide insights into how emotional intelligence can be used to mitigate the negative effects of gaslighting behaviors, ultimately leading to a more productive and positive work environment. It was concluded that there was a significant relationship found between Emotional intelligence and Gaslighting. It was concluded that there exists a moderate positive relationship between happiness and gaslighting. Similarly, a weak or no relationship between gaslighting among male & female employees.
