Summary/Abstract: The aim of the research was find relationships between perceived emotional intelligence, personality traits (Big Five) and career decision making strategies. We tested incremental validity of perceived emotional intelligence to predict career decision making strategies after controlling personality traits. Research sample of 153 of students we administrated Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS), NEO-FFI and Career Decision-Making Profile (CDMP). We found that adaptive career decision making strategies global score was predicted by high Conscientiousness, Extraversion and low Neuroticism, while perceived EI hasn´t incremental validity. On the level of individual career decision making strategies has the strongest predictive power Conscientiousness. Perceived EI has incremental predictive power (after Big Five controlling) in career decision making strategies: comprehensive information gathering (IG), analytic information processing (IP), effort invested (EI), aspiration for an ideal occupation (AI), and using intuition (IN).
