The lack of happiness is the key factor for rising cases of mental disorders all over the world. It is well recognized fact that human development is not possible without happiness.

Therefore, he had to provide a permanent development of his activity, socially, technically, and economically to achieve the desired level of well-being. In the context of society, the well-being of the individual is influenced by the economic choices of public authorities. Economic policy is a set of objectives and tools through which the state acts on economic variables, in order to maintain, restore or change the economic and social climate. Economic growth is a priority objective of any economic policy, because it influences the rate of employment and inflation, the level of income and welfare of the population and therefore the level of happiness of individuals. The aim of this paper is to highlight the relationship between the idea of happiness of the individual, and the economic development of the society to which he belongs. The analysis is based on the concept of economic growth, which accompanies the economic development of any society, regardless of the degree of development.

It is necessary to adapt effectively in order to have an increased productivity. Terms such as leadership, mindset, long-term goals, critical or analytical mind are the key factors that are deciding the fate of a certain company. In our country, it is mainly young people who are aware of the positive consequences of practicing emotional intelligence. But how easy is it to practice these qualities in a country like Albania? Recently, various trainings are being held for the development of individual performance, but does the Albanian society really know what it means to have an individual performance? One of the basic principles of Adlerian psychology is closely related to the principles of EQ: Thinking of the common good. How can this happen when everyone is supposed to think for themselves? The paper is based on the interpretation of the main tests of Emotional Intelligence by comparing them with the data from a questionnaire that is addressed to 100 employees or people who have at least worked 1 time with contractual agreement. Main tests used are those based on Daniel Goleman’s EQ Framework, specifically “360 degree” instrument.

The aim is to study the subjective well-being during the beginning of the pandemic and introduction of the quarantine measures and their connection to social media activity. The methods employed in the present study include various types of questionnaires, namely the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) (Watson, Clark & Tellegen, 1988), the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) (Diener, Emmnos, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985), the General Self-Efficacy Scale (Schwarzer & Jerusalem, 1995), and an original questionnaire developed to study the impact of the pandemic and the respondents’ understanding and perceptions of it. The findings of the quantitative analysis show that the subjective well-being during the pandemic is connected to the use of social media, life satisfaction, health risks assessments and economic consequences, leisure time and the level of self-efficacy. A qualitative analysis indicates that at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ukraine the negative predictions of the consequences of both the pandemic and the implemented quarantine measures prevail among the subjects. A longitudinal study during one month has found a reduction in health concerns, and respondents began to assess the threat to their health and economic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic as less serious than at the beginning. Thus, it can be concluded that from a short-term perspective the negative affect, especially the levels of fear and anxiety, decreased, whereas the level of the positive affect did not change.

In less developed countries where poverty and mass unemployment are the dominant facts of economic life, entrepreneurship is considered as a solution to face unemployment. Entrepreneurs are the engines of the economy, who use their knowledge and inspiration accompanied with a great risk to provide new, challenging products and services. The aim of this study is to understand the graduates’ attempts towards entrepreneurial activities, some of the factors that motivated them to become entrepreneurs and barriers that they faced. The quantitative data is used to present the findings of an exploratory research which was applied on alumni of Epoka University via a structured questionnaire. A sample of 115 graduates is collected from their answers. Through descriptive analysis is determined the impact of knowledge, skills, work experience, and inspirational model on the entrepreneurial intent of Epoka University graduates, to promote entrepreneurship, reduce unemployment, develop innovation and strengthen the economy. Besides entrepreneurs, this study investigates the entrepreneurial intent of employed and unemployed alumni and concluded they had a positive attitude towards it. This study tends to contribute to the university as well as the Government in increasing efforts to encourage more students to entrepreneurship activities as their career path upon graduation.
