EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE STRUCTURE OF DETERMINANTS
OF PROFESSIONAL SELF-DETERMINATION OF SENIOR PUPILS
SUMMARY:
The article presents the results of an empirical study of emotional intelligence in the structure of determinants of professional self-determination of senior pupils. This is the stage of person’s self-determination that precedes a specific choice of profession and includes awareness of one's own interests, experience in mastering various professional fields and adequate knowledge about oneself and one's capabilities. Most high school students today have a low level of emotional intelligence, do not understand their emotions very well, do not have a high need for self-knowledge and knowledge of others, are impulsive in their reactions and cannot effectively manage their emotions. And this is directly related to their low interest in professions that involve communication with people. Instead, high school students with a higher level of emotional intelligence show more interest in professions related to people, nature, or artistic images and are more interested in geography, literature and art. Emotional intelligence influences the emotional attitude of high school students to the choice of profession, is associated with numerous determinants of professional self-determination, such as autonomy and independence in choosing a profession, awareness of the world of professions, ability to plan professional life, emotional attitude to the situation of choosing a profession, social, moral, aesthetic and utilitarian motives for choosing a future profession. The professional self-determination of high school students is influenced by five basic factors, among which motivation, making a decision about the direction of professional activity, choosing a professional environment, consideration of social aspects and selfconfidence are important. Emotional intelligence is an important component of this process, as it helps to better understand and manage emotions that influence professional choices.
KEYWORDS:
emotional intelligence, type of profession, professional environment, motive for choosing a profession, professional readiness, personality traits.
