Emotional intelligence (EI) has emerged as a critical factor influencing professional success in today's competitive work environments. This article explores the intricate relationship between emotional intelligence and key aspects of workplace dynamics, including motivation, satisfaction, and engagement. Drawing on contemporary research and theoretical frameworks, we delve into the ways in which EI impacts individual performance and organizational outcomes. Firstly, we examine how emotional intelligence influences motivation in the workplace. By understanding and managing one's emotions effectively, individuals can cultivate a sense of purpose and drive, leading to higher levels of motivation to achieve goals and excel in their roles. Additionally, we explore how EI contributes to job satisfaction by fostering positive interpersonal relationships, facilitating conflict resolution, and promoting resilience in the face of challenges. Furthermore, this article delves into the connection between emotional intelligence and work engagement. Individuals with high levels of EI are better equipped to navigate complex social dynamics, communicate effectively, and collaborate with colleagues, thereby increasing their levels of engagement with their work tasks and organizational objectives. Through an interdisciplinary approach that integrates insights from psychology, organizational behavior, and leadership studies, this article sheds light on the mechanisms through which emotional intelligence influences professional success. By recognizing the importance of EI in fostering motivation, satisfaction, and engagement in the workplace, organizations can implement targeted interventions and training programs to enhance the emotional intelligence competencies of their employees, ultimately driving improved performance and organizational effectiveness.

The metabolic syndrome (MetS) represents a disease with a complex pathogenesis being associated with a constellation of metabolic and cardiovascular disorders, and not only, resulting from the co-occurrence of obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus, according to the American Education Guide "National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment - Panel III". We present the case of a 67-year- old patient, female, pensioner with metabolic syndrome diagnosed by the co-occurrence of stage I hypertension, grade I obesity, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia with hypercholesterolemia. People with MetS have a poorer quality of life, with references towards physical and social functions, regarding both general and mental states of health. With the help of a trained psychologist we interpreted the obtained results of the Freiburg Personality Inventory (FPI) and a Psychological Coping Questionnaire-Personal Needs Evaluation Questionnaire (V33A-GoldInc) and had a perspective upon patient's views regarding her personal illness and the involvement of spirituality, socioeconomic status and ethics in the management of the metabolic syndrome as a complex pathology, and particularly of the cardiovascular component of the disease. Regarding the presented case, it is indicated that the social worker, within the inter multidisciplinary relationship social worker- psychologist-doctor, interferes more with elderly on informing them about different sort of abuses against them, the risks of exposing their personal lives excessively, the matter of trust both within society and medical systems through community projects and information campaigns.
