Job search self-efficacy as a mediator between emotional intelligence and the active job search process / Autoeficacia de búsqueda como mediadora de la inteligencia emocional y la búsqueda activa de empleo

This study analyses the role of job search self-efficacy as a possible mediating variable in the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and the active job search process in a sample of 196 unemployed people in Andalusia, 107 men and 89 women aged 18 to 59 (M = 30.90; SD = 8.07). They were all provided an EI scale, a job search self-efficacy measure and an active job search measure, and provided their social and demographic information. As expected, EI was positively associated with higher levels of job search self-efficacy, as well as higher levels of job search intensity. In addition, mediation analyses indicated that EI had a significant indirect effect (through self-efficacy) on the active job search process. The results are discussed for application in future career guidance programmes.

Utilizing the method of De Bono Six Thinking Hats for making educational decisions

The presented teaching scenario utilizes the technique of Edward De Bono “Six Thinking Hats”, which by using an experiential and interdisciplinary way of learning, namely, visual plastic constructions, painting, theater, poetry, and songs, guides the students of secondary education in making vocational education decisions. This scenario has been experimentally implemented in the experiential activities of career guidance programmes in the Greek secondary education. Briefly, the students of a class are divided into six teams. In the first phase after an introductory exercise in each team, they make the colored hats. The teacher walks between the teams, reciting poems that correspond to the color of each hat. Then a practical problem is given and an activity follows, related to resolving this problem. In the next phase, each team fills a dashboard with paintings, drawings, words and poems related to the color of their hat, which is presented to the entire class. Finally, the students are invited to reflect on the process of the Six Thinking Hats for solving practical problems that are associated with their studies and career choices.
