Abstract

In the era of globalization, multinational companies have become an important part of the economic landscape. bringing with them diversity and challenges specific to the business environment in cities such as Bucharest and provincial cities. In this psychological study, we explore the impact of loneliness at work and emotions as a state and trait on employees in multinational companies, comparing the experiences in Bucharest with those in smaller Romanian cities, such as Constanta.The sample used consisted of 60 subjects, namely 30 male and 30 female, 30 from each city (Bucharest and Constanta).The samples with which we conducted the investigation are the loneliness at work scale and the state-trait emotion measurement questionnaire. The research hypotheses were:H1. It is presumed that loneliness at work is more pronounced among multinational employees in Bucharest than in Constanta; H2. Emotion as a state/trait is presumed to be more pronounced in employees of multinationals in Bucharest than in those in Constanta; H3. Emotion as a state/trait is presumed to be related to loneliness at work.The aim was to identify these aspects, providing useful information for improving the mental and relational well-being of employees in this work environment.
