espanolIntroduccion. La adolescencia es un periodo de transicion entre la infancia y la edad adulta durante el cual se toma la decision de emprender una carrera. Ademas, la inteligencia emo- cional esta vinculada a la autoeficacia en la toma de decisiones profesionales, y algunos ado- lescentes poseen un rasgo de personalidad proactiva que aparentemente fortalece la relacion entre los dos conceptos. Metodo. Este estudio evaluo las relaciones entre la inteligencia emocional y la autoeficacia en la toma de decisiones profesionales y considero si dichas relaciones son moderadas (forta- lecidas o debilitadas) por la personalidad proactiva. Se encuesto una muestra grupal (N = 840) de escuelas secundarias estatales superiores en Indonesia. Resultados. La autoeficacia en la toma de decisiones profesionales se correlaciono con la inteligencia emocional. Ademas, la personalidad proactiva tuvo un efecto moderador en la relacion entre la inteligencia emocional y la autoeficacia en la toma de decisiones profesiona- les. Discusion y Conclusion: Existe una relacion positiva significativa entre los dos factores, y se acepta la hipotesis. El papel de la personalidad proactiva sugiere que las intervenciones pro- fesionales deberian enfatizar los aspectos de la personalidad proactiva para aumentar la auto- eficacia de los adolescentes en la toma de decisiones profesionales. EnglishIntroduction. Adolescence is a transition period between childhood and adulthood during which a decision to embark on a career is made. Furthermore, emotional intelligence is linked to self-efficacy in career decision-making, and some adolescents possess a proactive person- ality trait that seemingly strengthens the relation between the two concepts. Method. This study evaluated relations between emotional intelligence and career decision- making self-efficacy and considered whether such relations are moderated (strengthened or weakened) by proactive personality. A group sample (N = 840) from state senior high schools in Indonesia was surveyed. Results. Career decision-making self-efficacy correlated with emotional intelligence. Addi- tionally, proactive personality had a moderating effect on the relation between emotional in- telligence and career decision-making self-efficacy. Discussion and Conclusion. There is a significant positive relation exists between the two factors, and the hypothesis is accepted. The role of proactive personality suggests that career interventions should emphasize proactive personality aspects to increase the career decision- making self-efficacy of adolescents
