Abstract

The present research study examines emotional maturity and its relationship with employer satisfaction in recruiting fresh engineering Information Technology graduates. Four hundred sixty-five employers of multinational and national information technology companies in India were considered as respondents. These employers conduct the campus placement drives in the public and private technical universities of India for the recruitment of fresh engineering graduates with specialization in information technology. The collected data was analyzed using structural equation modelling (SEM). Results revealed that all the four dimensions of emotional maturity are defined by emotional stability, emotional progression, social adjustment, and personality integration. Emotional maturity had a significant positive relationship with employer satisfaction. The study is useful for employers investing in India to recognize employability skills in young graduates. The findings of the study will also give insight to academicians to recognize the need for soft skills in their course curriculum.
