| Abstract: This study examined the composite emotional intelligence and locus of control as predictors of counsellors' efficacy among school counsellors in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study investigated the relative effects of the independent variable on the criterion variable. A total number of three hundred and ninety six male and female school practicing counsellors were randomly selected with the use of simple random sampling technique from the six educational districts of Lagos state. The counsellor self-efficacy scale, Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale and Rotter's Locus of Control Scale were the three instruments used to collect data for the study. Data were analysed using Pearson Moment correlation Coefficient statistical method. The result shows that emotional intelligence and locus of control have significant relationship to school counsellor efficacy in terms of making decisions, solving problems, planning and organizing programmes that are consistent with behaviours of professional counselors. It also reveals that emotional intelligence and locus of control are essential in enhancing counselors' preparedness and discharge of duties while dealing with clients. |
