Emotional leadership plays a pivotal role in modern organizational structures to enhance job satisfaction, organizational performance, and sustainable growth. As emotional leadership has been identified as a problem- solving factor in complex business environments, it facilitates emotional needs and trust building among employees and promotes voluntary and active participation in organizational roles. This study aimed to investigate the impact of perceived supervisor's emotional leadership on job crafting activities within an organizational framework and provide a deeper understanding of emotional leadership through the mediation of supervisor trust. In this study, a sample of 250 employees from various industries working in organizations with 100+ employees was surveyed using emotional leadership, supervisor trust, and job crafting scales. Statistical analysis was conducted using Pearson correlation, reliability assessment, and mediation analysis with structural equation modeling using jomovi version 2.3.28. The results showed that emotional leadership significantly improved trust in supervisors, which in turn positively influenced job crafting. Emotional leadership itself also had a direct impact on job crafting, although not as strongly as through the mediating role of trust. Emotional leadership proved to be crucial in creating an environment that supports job crafting by strengthening trust between supervisors and employees in an organization. This study highlights the importance of emotional leadership in organizational settings and suggests that leadership development programs that focus on emotional intelligence are essential to foster effective employee roles and improve overall organizational performance.
