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.
