Abstract
The aim of the current study was to examine predictive
relationship pattern between emotional intelligence (EI), and career
decision making. Sample of the study comprised of (N = 203)
university undergraduates. EI, its facets and career decision
making were operationalized through Wong and Law Emotional
Intelligence Scale (Wong & Law, 2002) and Career Decision
Profile (Jones & Lohmann, 1998) respectively. Correlational
analysis revealed that emotional intelligence was positively
correlated with career decision making. More specifically, the
constructs of EI most related to career decision making were
examined. Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that among
EI factors self-emotional appraisal, and utilization of emotions
were found significantly correlated with career decision making.
Finally linear regression yielded overall EI as significant positive
predictor of career decision making. Limitations and suggestions
of the current study have been discussed for future research
endeavors.
