Abstract

In this current study we are examining individuals who are trained for job and career counseling in terms of their ‘attitudes towards diversity’ ‘empathy skills’ and ‘potential for diversity management performance’. In this respect, the relationship between the ‘attitudes towards diversity’ and ‘empathy skills’ of career counselors, who will be working in the personnel selection and placement process, will be investigated. Furthermore, the impact of ‘attitudes towards diversity’ and ‘empathy skills’ on ‘potential for diversity management performance’ will be studied. The differentiating effect of gender on ‘empathy skills’ of individuals who are trained for job and career counseling will also be covered in the research context.
