Competencias socio-emocionales y educación: implicaciones para la inserción laboral de mujeres desempleadas

Abstract

Today, it is widely accepted that emotional and social competencies play a major role in the labour performance, as well as in the incorporation to the labour market. The specific technical competencies have already left the unique factor taken into account in labour insertion, while the interest in emotional and social competences has increased due to their relevance for a proper labour performance. The aim of the present study is to contrast if there is a relation between the emotional and social competencies perceived by unemployed women and both academic and complementary education. The results showed a relation between academic degree and the emotional and social competencies, whereas a relation between these competencies and the complementary education has not been found. These results reveal the need of a specific education in emotional and social competencies as a key for an effective labour insertion.
