Evaluating the correlation between self-esteem and the values of anxiety and depression respectively in an organizational context

The present work aims to analyze, on the one hand, the link between self-esteem levels and anxiety values among professionally active people, respectively, on the other hand, between self-esteem levels and depression values, among the same population . We consider it important to define the concept of self-esteem in relation to anxiety and depression. In order to determine whether the working hypotheses are valid, a questionnaire was drawn up consisting of the items of the Anxiety, Satisfaction and Depression and Enthusiasm at Work Scale (Warr, P. (1990). The measurement of well‐being and other aspects of mental health. Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology, 63(3), 193-210.), respectively of self-esteem related to the organization (Pierce, J. L., Gardner, D. G., Cummings, L. L., & Dunham, R. B. (1989). Organization-based self-esteem: construct definition, measurement, and validation. Academy of Management Journal, 32(3), 622–648.). The group of participants in this study was made up of both male and female people, professionally active, predominantly from the urban environment, with higher education and a varied length of work.
