The aim of this research is to examine the relationship between social intelligence and loneliness of academics in the workplace. This study involves 326 (149 female/177 male) academics employed in various universities in Turkey and North Cyprus. The age average of participants is 39.09 years. In this study, the Loneliness at Work Scale (LAWS) and Tromso Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS) have been utilized. The data were analyzed using multiple regression and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient analysis techniques. The findings showed that social information processing, social skills, and social awareness, which are the sub-dimensions of social intelligence, positively explained 26% of social deprivation. Social skills and social awareness positively explained 13% of social companionship. The findings also showed that the social information processing sub-dimension did not meaningfully explain social companionship.
本研究旨在探讨职场社交智力与孤独感之间的关系。该研究涉及土耳其和北塞浦路斯各大学的 326 名（149 名女性/177 名男性）学者。参与者的平均年龄为 39.09 岁。在这项研究中，使用了工作孤独感量表（LAWS）和特罗姆瑟社交智力量表（TSIS）。数据分析采用多元回归和皮尔逊积矩相关系数分析技术。研究结果表明，社交智力的子维度——社会信息处理、社交技能和社会意识——正向解释了 26%的社交剥夺。社交技能和社会意识正向解释了 13%的社交陪伴。研究结果还表明，社会信息处理子维度并不能显著解释社交陪伴。
