Emotional Intelligence and Work Self- Efficacy in Technical Vocational Institutions

This study investigates the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and work self-efficacy in Technical Vocational Institutions (TVIs). Grounded in the Bar-On model of emotional intelligence, the research aims to understand the nature and level of emotional intelligence in modern TVIs, assess how productivity, work self-efficacy, and employee retention are described in these institutions, and examine potential variations in the relationship between EI and key outcomes based on demographic factors. The study employs a correlational descriptive design, utilizing a questionnaire and established instruments to measure emotional intelligence, productivity, work self-efficacy, and employee retention. The population comprises trainers in TVIs in La Trinidad and Baguio City, with a random sampling method ensuring representation. Findings are expected to contribute to the understanding of emotional intelligence dynamics within the unique context of TVIs, providing valuable insights for educators, administrators, and policy makers aiming to enhance workplace effectiveness and employee well-being in technical vocational education settings.
