The Influence of AI Competence, Grit, and Prosocial Behavior on Collaboration Skills among Future Business Professionals in a Private University in Cebu, Philippines

This study assessed the relationship between collaboration skills and artificial intelligence (AI) competence, grit, and prosocial behavior among Bachelor of Science in Business Administration students at a private university during the 2024–2025 academic year. It aimed to develop a career intervention plan to enhance students’ AI competence, grit, prosocial behavior, and collaboration skills, thereby preparing them to meet evolving industry demands. A total of 150 third-year Marketing Management and Operations Management students at the University of San Jose-Recoletos completed survey questionnaires. AI competence was measured using the Artificial Intelligence Literacy Scale (AILS; Wang, 2022), grit with the Triarchic Model of Grit Scale (TMGS; Datu, 2017), collaboration skills via the Entry-Level Interprofessional Questionnaire (ELIQ; Pollard, 2004), and prosocial behavior using the Prosociality Scale (Kanacri, 2021). Data were analyzed using frequency count, percentage, weighted mean, and regression analysis. Most respondents were between 18 to 23 years old, lived with both parents, and had 1 to 3 siblings. Regarding birth order, the majority were youngest, while combined family monthly income varied, with the largest group earning above PHP 76,700. Respondents were predominantly female, reflecting a young, diverse, and family-oriented population with varying socio-economic backgrounds. Results indicated good overall collaboration skills, with interprofessional learning rated excellent; AI competence and grit were good, while adaptability and prosocial behavior were excellent. Regression analysis revealed that grit, prosocial behavior, and AI competence significantly predicted collaboration skills, with grit as the strongest predictor. Based on the findings and conclusion, a career intervention plan is proposed for adoption.
