AND FLUID INTELLIGENCE AS PREDICTORS OF INTRINSIC CAREER SUCCESS OF GRADUATE STUDENTS: BASIS FOR CAREER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Journal Title: Asian Journal Social Sciences & Humanities - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Researches indicated that eighty percent of success in different phases of life is mainly brought by emotional intelligence (Freedman et al., 1998) as cited by Cherry K. (2016). According to popular science writings, emotional intelligence is a better predictor of life success than IQ or personality traits; nonetheless, this assumption lacks support from empirical research (Jensen, Kohn, Rilea, Hannon, Howells, 2007). In this regard, this study aims to provide a justification that emotional intelligence directly leads to career success; indeed, this study primarily determines the relationship that exists between intrinsic career success and the independent variables: academic achievement, emotional intelligence and fluid intelligence, as well as, the extent to which the said independent variables predict intrinsic career success. This is a descriptive correlational study. Data were collected from 117 graduate students of the University of Santo Tomas using Career Satisfaction Scale, Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory and Purdue Non Language Test to measure intrinsic career success, emotional intelligence and fluid intelligence respectively, while academic achievement was derived from grade point average. Through Pearson Correlation Coefficient, it was revealed that among the independent variables, emotional intelligence has a significant positive relation with intrinsic career success (r=.42; p<00) with significance level of .05. Furthermore, through multiple regression it was discovered that the variables: academic achievement, emotional intelligence and fluid intelligence are possible predictors of intrinsic career success, since the model is fit (r2= .18; p<.01); nonetheless, the regression result shows that only emotional intelligence exert statistically significant predictor (B= .37; p< .00). It is concluded that emotional intelligence is a crucial element of career success. Hence, emotional intelligence reinforcement serves as the core of the proposed career development program.
