THE IMPACT OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND COPING BEHAVIOR ON THE RESILIENCY OF OUTBOUND FILIPINO HOUSEHOLD SERVICE WORKERS

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

 According

to the Philippine Overseas Employment Agency (POEA), from 2010-2014 an increase from 1.4 million to 1.8 million Filipinos work abroad. An estimated 880,000 workers are in the Middle East. For 2014 alone, 180,000 are household service workers

 In the Pre-Departure Orientation

Seminar (PDOS) mandatory seminar for all household service workers working overseas. Some of the possible problems are

• Culture Shock
• Different Social/Cultural Practices
• Gender Issues and Concerns
• Isolation
• Lack of Political Powers

AIM OF THE STUDY

The study would like to know the psychological temperament in terms of emotional intelligence, coping behavior and resiliency of the workers that we send abroad given this reality

RESEARCH QUESTIONS

• 1. What is the profile of the respondents in the following

variables? 1.1 Emotional Intelligence as measured by Work Profile Questionnaire- Emotional Intelligence 1.2 Coping Behavior as measured by Brief Cope 1.3 Resiliency as measured by Connor Davidson Resilience Scale

• 2. Is there a significant relationship among the

following variables: 2.1 Emotional Intelligence and Resiliency 2.2 Coping Behavior and Resiliency

• 3. What is the impact of Emotional Intelligence and

Coping Behavior on Resiliency of outbound Overseas Filipino Workers

HYPOTHESIS

PRELIMINARY CONCLUSION

 Coping behavior and emotional intelligence

impact resiliency. Thus, a program on enhancing the coping behavior and emotional intelligence to impact resiliency of

• utbound Filipino household service

workers is necessary or warranted.

 The second part of the study will then

venture on program development, implementation and determining the efficacy

• f the program addressing resiliency.
