Last time we have noticed still more studies confirming the relation between emotional intelligence and various aspects of human behavior. Professional soldiers are a group which includes primarily commanders of various levels. Commanding need not only special kind of military knowledge, but suitable social skills as well. Goal of the study: Does and how the emotional intelligence influence the types of behavior and experience connected with occupational stress among the professional soldiers? The research was conducted using two questionnaires: INTE Questionnaire describing the emotional intelligence and AVEM Questionnaire describing four types of behavior and experience connected with job. The sample consisted of 141 professional soldiers. The results show the correlation between emotional intelligence and the types of behavior and experience connected with job in the group of professional soldiers: higher level of emotional intelligence is connected with the healthy behavior – Type G, but lower level of emotional intelligence is connected with the burnt-out behavior – Type B.
