The Effects of Soft Skills and Training Methodology on the Students’ Learning Performance and Graduate Employability in Jordan

Graduates with “soft skills” like teamwork and the ability to motivate others to achieve a common goal are in high demand from employers. Quantitative studies have not been undertaken in several nations; Hashemite kingdom of Jordan included. Investing in soft skills training is essential for creating a high-performance work culture. One approach that helps businesses attain a high-quality work culture is training. To be successful in today’s business world, you need a blend of hard and soft skills. The term “soft talents” is often used to refer to a wide range of qualities, such as self-awareness, the ability to take criticism without personal attack, and the capacity to get along well with others. The goals of this research are probed using quantitative methods. The research is cross-sectional in nature, with data obtained from 85 participants via the use of both descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Based on the results of the correlation and regression analysis, it was shown that the training technique has a 52% effect on graduates’ employability, while soft skills have a 58% effect on graduates’ employability on their own. The influence of soft skills on learning performance has been quantified at 64%, with the impact of training methods at 59%.

The Effect of Soft Skills on Academic Outcomes

Abstract This paper uses administrative data and a soft skill index integrating seven personality traits to examine the relationship between soft skills and academic outcomes. I exploit the timing of soft skill assessment and study the interaction between soft and cognitive skills in education production. The results show that soft skills are positively associated with academic outcomes. Soft and cognitive skills are both substitutes and complements in education production. The complementarity between both skills is asymmetric. Soft skills and returns to cognitive skills exhibit a U-shaped relationship, while returns to soft skills fail to show such a relationship with cognitive skills. Time-use data suggest that soft skills may have a causal effect on academic achievements, and increased study time is a mechanism through which soft skills affect these outcomes. Soft skills can reduce inequality in academic outcomes due to differences in cognitive ability. Investment in non-cognitive skills can be quite rewarding.

The Effect of Soft Skills on Organizational Performance: The Mediating Role of Resilient Leadership

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the resilient leadership’s ability to mediate the effect of workability, discipline, and communication or soft skills on organizational performance. Design/methodology/approach: This leadership performance assessment study used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) applied to Organizational Behavior with case studies of State companies. Data were collected using in-depth interviews with regional leaders and online questionnaires distributed to participants from State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) engaged in food logistics in the East Java Province, Indonesia. Findings: This study found a positive and significant effect of workability, discipline, and communication on leadership resilience and organizational performance mediated by leadership improvement. This showed that strong leader- ship increases the influence of soft skills on the company's organizational performance. Research limitations/implications: This study only assessed the organizational leaders’ performance within the scope of the BULOG East Java Regional Office, meaning the research results cannot be generalized. It also tested the differences between samples by comparing the organizational performance of several companies’ sectors. Originality/value: This study linked soft skills comprising workability, discipline, communication, and personality, with organizational performance mediated by tough leadership.

Effects of Engineering Students’ Soft Skills and Empathy on Their Attitudes toward Curricula Integration

Recently, various integrated education curricula for STEM curricula have been provided. This research sought to investigate the effects of engineering students’ soft skills and empathy on their attitudes toward curricula integration (hereafter, attitudes toward integration). First, students’ attitudinal differences respecting integration, soft skills and empathy were examined. Second, the relationships among attitudes toward integration, soft skills and empathy were identified in terms of various sub-factors of those three variables. Third, the effects of soft skills and empathy on attitudes toward integration, as perceived by men and women engineering students, were explored. A total of 302 engineering students from three universities in Korea responded to a survey based on a three-variable scale. Analysis of the data found that: firstly, men scored higher in most of the sub-factors of two variables, namely attitudes toward integration and soft skills; women scored higher in most of the sub-factors of one variable, empathy; and that these gender differences were statistically significant. Secondly, a positive correlation among attitudes toward integration, soft skills and empathy was identified. Thirdly, it was determined that attitudes toward integration were affected significantly by soft skills and empathy. The practical implications of these findings for engineering education are discussed herein, with particular attention devoted to the issue of the cultivation of engineering students’ soft skills, empathy, and attitudes toward integration.

The Effect of Soft Skills on the Successful Employment of Future Engineers: Self-Evaluation Results

The research focuses on “integrating” technological universities’ graduates in the current labor market. In pedagogical practice, it is widely known that university graduates with welldeveloped “soft” skills feel more confident about their future, and they can more easily cope with job search. In order to identify the effect of “soft” skills on the readiness of future engineers to job search, a survey was conducted among 106 students, including programmers, business analysts, IT designers, materials scientists, and nanotechnologists.The authors used the statistical methods to identify the relationship between students’ self-evaluation of “soft” skills and their readiness for job-seeking. We have found that 71.7% of all respondents who determined a high level of proficiency in “soft” skills, only 29.6% are confident that job search should not cause difficulties, 28.8% can see a clear connection between their studies and future profession, and 37% believe that they have motivation for professional fulfillment.The results of the survey based on self-evaluation showed that in spite of having a high score in evaluating their “soft” skills, the respondents express extreme uncertainty that they will be competitive enough outside the university and that will be prepared to apply the skills which are crucial for successful employment.

An Exploratory Study of the Influence of Soft and Hard Skills on Entry Level Marketing Position Interviews

This exploratory study looks at the relative impact of student soft and hard skills on entry-level marketing job interview success. Marketing professionals with hiring experience conducted pre-course and post-course structured interviews with students in a Principles of Marketing course using behaviorally anchored rating scales to tap soft and hard skills. Results indicate a significant hierarchical effect of soft skills beyond hard skills on a candidate’s likelihood of being invited back for a second interview.
