The study is focused on the question how the need for structure and the Big Five personality traits predict decision making styles in health professionals. The sample included 225 health care professionals from different areas (physicians, nurses, paramedics, emergency link operators). The need for structure was measured by Personal Need for Structure scale, Big Five Traits by Ten Item Personality Inventory, and the decision making styles by Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire. The results showed that the best predictor of vigilance was need for structure, while extroversion was a negative predictor of non-vigilant styles. Analysis of interaction showed that neuroticism interacts with need for structure in prediction of non-vigilant decision making styles (hypervigilance, procrastination and buck-passing). Specifically, persons with low neuroticism and low need for structure tend to use more non-vigilant decision making styles in comparison to others.
