Emotional Intelligence and Job Performance in Social Work and Non-Social Work Counsellors

This book is an outcome of a pioneering study undertaken with a view to understand the job performance, emotional intelligence, role efficacy, work and social adjustment among the social workers and non-social workers employed as counsellors in the Chennai city. The researcher also aims to analyse the relationship between job performance and its selected correlates and also with social-economic and demographic variables with appropriate statistical tools. The finding of this study would be valuable to social work practice to understand the job performance of the social workers employed as counsellors and give suggestions to improve the performance in an effective way based on the selected three correlates of job performance. Based on the findings, the social workers, as well as non-social workers employed as counsellors, can work towards the various aspects to sharpen their counselling skills. This book would serve as a reference guide for the academicians, researchers, administrators, social workers as well as the NGOs working in the field of counselling prevention.
