Research Framework on Assessing The Impact of Emotional Management on Employee Performance Mediated by Job Satisfaction, Amongst Lecturers in Jiangxi Province, China

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of emotional management on employee performance, mediated by job satisfaction, among lecturers in Jiangxi Province, China. As higher education undergoes rapid transformation, lecturers face heightened pressures that challenge their emotional resilience and professional efficacy. Using a quantitative approach, data from 450 lecturers across Jiangxi's universities will be analyzed through structural equation modeling (SEM). The research examines how emotional regulation, interpersonal skills, conflict resolution, and stress management influence performance, with job satisfaction as a mediator. Findings aim to inform tailored interventions for enhancing lecturer well-being, improving institutional support, and fostering academic excellence in the region. This study contributes to the literature on emotional intelligence in education, offering culturally sensitive strategies for policymakers and educators.
