Modern Approaches to the Study of Emotional Regulation in the Context of Work Psychology: Analysis and Perspectives.

The article is devoted to the study of emotional regulation (ER) within the framework of work psychology, a key factor affecting productivity, professional burnout, and interpersonal relationships in the professional environment. The analysis showed that cognitive reappraisal is more effective than expressive suppression, reducing stress and increasing job satisfaction. Organizational support and emotional intelligence training reduces burnout levels by 15-20%. A comparative study of life satisfaction and anxiety levels was conducted among unemployed and employed individuals using survey methods, testing techniques, and data analysis (Pearson and Student coefficients). Surveys were conducted using a socio-psychological questionnaire, and testing was carried out using the "Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS)" by E. Diener and the "State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)" by C. Spielberger and Y.L. Khanin. The testing revealed significant differences between the groups. Unemployed individuals reported lower life satisfaction and higher anxiety, which diminishes their emotional regulation and hinders their employment opportunities. To authors used approaches to ER study in work psychology: a literature review published after 2020 was conducted, along with a comparative study among unemployed and employed individuals aimed at determining the subjective level of life satisfaction and the levels of personal and situational anxiety. This research emphasizes the central role of emotional regulation (ER) in ensuring psychological well-being and professional effectiveness. Remote work creates additional challenges, and temporary unemployment, along with age-related features of later professionalization, intensifies the need for adaptive ER strategies to combat isolation and stress. Neuropsychological data confirm the role of the prefrontal cortex in successful ER, opening avenues for training that harness neuroplasticity. To optimize ER, a comprehensive approach is necessary, merging individual training, organizational support, and culturally sensitive programs. Future research prospects include studying the long-term effects of ER, developing personalized approaches, and integrating technologies such as virtual reality for simulating stressful situations. An analysis of the impact of digitalization on ER (new data calculation programs, blueprints, video instructions, remote meetings, and training) could enhance employees' resilience and productivity in modern conditions. The study's results can be used in developing ER enhancement programs within organizations.
