Employability and emotional intelligence of the individual within the school-to-work transition phase

Youth employability in South Africa has become an important focus for career counsellors. This
study investigated the relationship between the employability (as measured by the Southern
African Employability Inventory) and emotional intelligence (as measured by the Assessing
Emotions Scale) of individuals within the school-to-work transition phase. A random sample of
590 Grade 9 and Grade 12 further education and post-school (recently exited) students from a
total population of 1349 participated in the study. The research findings indicated that
participants’ level of employability is significantly related to their emotional intelligence.
Recommendations are postulated for the career counselling of individuals in the school-to-work
career transition phase. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.Com. (Industrial and Organisational Psychology)
