Assessing the Level of Emotional Intelligence among Future Vocational Workforce in Jordan

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the level of
emotional intelligence among future vocational workforce in
Jordan. A total of 150 vocational students participated in the
study by completing the Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS).
The results indicated that vocational students have an
acceptable moderate level of emotional intelligence on the five
dimensions. Moreover, there were no significant differences
between dimensions of emotional intelligence and the
proposed demographic variables (gender and area of
specialization). Finally, several recommendations were
suggested for improving emotional intelligence among
vocational students that can contribute to better job
performance.
