• Resumen

  • En el presente trabajo se muestra la importancia relativa de los predictores inteligencia general, factores de personalidad e inteligencia emocional en la determinación del éxito en el inicio de la carrera profesional. Para ello se analizan las relaciones entre la inteligencia emocional percibida, medida mediante el cuestionario Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-24), la inteligencia general, evaluada mediante la prueba de factor «g» de Cattell, escala 2, la personalidad, evaluada mediante la prueba NEO-FFI, e indicadores extrínsecos e intrínsecos de éxito profesional, en una muestra de 130 egresados que se encuentran en el inicio de su carrera profesional. Los resultados obtenidos en los análisis de regresión jerárquica efectuados indican que, para las medidas de éxito profesional utilizadas, la inteligencia emocional percibida muestra una relación mayor con el éxito profesional y realiza una mayor contribución a la predicción del mismo que la inteligencia general y la personalidad. Se discuten las implicaciones de estos resultados tanto para la comunidad científica, como para la profesional, especialmente en el área de selección, formación y desarrollo de personas.
