Abstract This study explores the relationship between loneliness and aggression among vicenarians and tricenarians working in multinational corporation. Grounded in psychological theories such as attachment theory and social learning theory, the research examines different types of loneliness emotional, social, situational, existential, and chronic and their impact on various forms of aggression, including physical, verbal, hostile, and anger aggression. Using a quantitative research design, data was collected from 266 employees through standardized measures like the Emotional/Social Loneliness Inventory (ESLI) and Aggression Questionnaire (AQ). Results indicate a statistically significant positive correlation (r = 0.175, p = 0.004) between loneliness and aggression, suggesting that while loneliness may contribute to aggression, other workplace factors such as job stress and leadership styles likely play a greater role. Additionally, independent t-tests revealed no significant differences in loneliness or aggression between the two age groups, indicating that generational differences alone do not account for these workplace behaviours. The findings highlight the need for workplace interventions, such as mentorship programs and social support initiatives, to mitigate loneliness and reduce aggression among employees. While the study contributes to industrial-organizational psychology by identifying the psychological impact of loneliness in MNCs, future research should expand on causal relationships, explore cultural influences, and assess the long-term effects of workplace loneliness on employee well-being.
