The quest for professionals committed to work and able to establish healthy and productive personal relationships is the greatest modern challenge to People Management, spurring increasing investments in human development and quality professional interactions. In this scenario, professional social skills is a subject of analysis that has gained prominence. This research evaluated the repertoire of professional social skills in 43 managers in the administrative sectors of a public higher education institution, as well as indicators of depression and anxiety and possible associations between these constructs. For that, the following instruments were used: Management Professional Social Skills Inventory (MPSSI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The results show that managers reached the lowest means in accomplishment of professional aims and objectives, people management, and resolution of conflicts at work. The mean score at the BAI indicates moderate anxiety and, and BDI suggests the absence of depression indicators. Negative correlations between MPSSI categories and both BAI and BDI were found. Thus, this study hypothesis is that skilled managers have lower depression and anxiety indicators.
