The main goal of this research is to examine the relation between gender and differences in affective attachment, emotional intelligence and self-esteem among students population. The scales for self-assessment of emotional intelligence, affective attachment and self-esteem were used in the current research. The sample consisted of 231 respondents, students of tourism and hospitality management, 71 males and 160 females. Considering that our sample is not representative, because there is a large disproportion in the number of male and female respondents, and that distribution of scores on measured variables deviates from normal, we used nonparametric techniques: Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Walis oneway analysis of variance. The results show that female students have more pronounced emotional intelligence in the domain of perceiving and understanding emotions, as well as a better ability to regulate and manage emotions compared to male respondents, while the measured scores at scale of affective attachment and self-esteem did not show statistically significant differences between gender. On further, female managers in our research see the development of rural tourism as their business opportunity.

Apstrakt:Osnovni cilj ovog rada jeste da se utvrdi povezanost između afektivne vezanosti, emocionalne inteligencije, zadovoljstva životom, stilova humora i osobina ličnosti. U istraživanju je učestvovalo 240 ispitanika, od čega 45% čine muškarci i 55% žene. Oko 50% uzorka čine radnici, dok drugu polovinu čine menadžeri i vlasnici. Za potrebe istraživanja korišćeni su sledeći instrumenti: upitnik emocionalne kompetentnosti,upitnik za procenu osobina ličnosti, upitnik za procenjivanje porodične afektivne vezanosti, upitnika stilova humora, zadovoljstvo životom. Rezultati ukazuju na to da su ispitanici koji su zadovoljniji svojim životom manje neurotični i agresivni, kao i da bolje regulišu i upravljaju emocijama. Takođe, osobe sa visokim stepenom emocionalne inteligencije manje su neurotične i društvenije su, dok će ispitanici kod kojih je izražena anksioznost i introvertnost verovatno imati poteškoće u komunikaciji sa drugim zaposlenima. U ovom radu je prikazan samo deo rezultata jednog šireg istraživanja o emocionalnim kompetencijama lidera, menadžera i zaposlenih u Srbiji. Abstract:The purpose of this paper is to determine the relationship between affective attachment, emotional intelligence, life satisfaction, humour styles and personality traits. The research comprised 240 respondents, i.e., 45% male and 55% female respondents. The employees accounted for approximately 50% of the sample, while the remaining half included managers and owners. For the purpose of this research, the following instruments were used: Emotional Competence Questionnaire, Personality Questionnaire, Questionnaire for measuring the family affective attachment, Humour Styles Questionnaire, Satisfaction with Life Scale. The results show that the respondents who are more satisfied with their life scale are less neurotic and aggressive, and better express and manage their emotions. Also, people with high level of emotional intelligence are less neurotic and more sociable, while the respondents with prominent anxiety or phobic avoidance will probably have difficulties in communicating with other employees. The paper presents only one segment of the larger research on emotional competences of leaders, managers and employees in Serbia.Ključne reči: emocionalna inteligencija, afektivna vezanost, stilovi humora, osobine ličnosti, zadovoljstvo životom, timski rad.
