總結:(1) Background: This study examines the mediating roles of work climate and perceived job stress on the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and job satisfaction using a serial mediation model in a sample of employees. Although EI is known to influence several organizational outcomes, its interaction with work climate and job stress is less well understood. (2) Methods: The PROCESS macro (Model 6) v4.2 by Hayes was employed to test the multiple mediating effects of work climate and perceived job stress on the relationship between emotional intelligence and job satisfaction. (3) Results: The results indicate that higher EI is associated with a more positive work climate, higher job satisfaction, and lower perceived job stress. Work climate and job stress mediate the relationship between EI and job satisfaction. Specifically, EI improves job satisfaction both directly and indirectly by increasing positive work climate and decreasing job stress. (4) Conclusions: These findings highlight the critical role of EI in creating a supportive work environment and improving employee well-being.
