Mediating Role of Emotional Quotient in the Relationship between Life Satisfaction and Resilience

Abstract

The study investigates the mediating role of emotional quotient in the relationship between life satisfaction and resilience. Many studies in the literature indicate that a person’s life satisfaction is correlated with resilience level. Also, many authors have reported that emotional quotient is positively associated with life satisfaction and resilience. Structural equation modeling has been designed to reveal the relationship between life satisfaction, resilience and emotional quotient. Study data were obtained from the students receiving education in Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University, Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences. As predicted from the previous studies, it was determined that life satisfaction was positively correlated with resilience in a statistically significant way. Furthermore, it was revealed that emotional quotient mediated the relationship between life satisfaction and resilience. According to the results, the study provides considerably useful implications for the parties concerned.
