Summary/Abstract: The role of emotional intelligence in career decision-making has been actively researched in the past few years. For the most part, empirical results support the idea that better abilities to perceive, use, understand and manage emotions in oneself and other people lead to higher self-efficacy for career decisions, less hesitation in choosing and using more rational decision-making strategies in life in general. The aim of the study is to verify at an empirical level to what extent EI or emotionally self-perceived characteristics influence the personal mechanism for regulating career choice. More specifically, research efforts are aimed at uncovering the particularities, variations, and interrelationships between motivations and factors influencing career choice and emotional intelligence in a university setting. The results of the study indicated a direct positive effect of emotional intelligence in general on the interrelationship with motives for choosing a profession. The influence of emotional intelligence as an important personality characteristic was established. The study traces the factors that influence the choice of a career path in individuals in early adulthood.
