Résumé

L'intelligence émotionnelle (IE) désigne l'aptitude émotionnelle humaine qui représente une capacité inhérente d'apprentissage ou de compréhension dans l'interaction humaine et les relations interpersonnelles. La recherche suggère que les compétences sociales et émotionnelles, telles que représentées par l'IE, sont des prédicteurs significatifs de la réussite des individus dans leur vie et leur carrière. À cette fin, cet article aborde le rôle de l'IE dans le contexte de la psychologie de la vocation et de la carrière. Guidé et informé par les principales théories de la carrière, il proposera des interventions de conseil susceptibles d'aider les personnes ayant une faible IE à améliorer leur capacité à faire face à leur vie professionnelle de manière plus efficace
