The aim of this research is to investigate whether the professional research and commitment, which are the dimensions of commitment to career choices, and the tendency to make early decisions, can affect career consistency and career optimism. The study’s work group, which is in the relational scan model, consists of a total of 330 students, including 248 women and 82 men, who studied at different faculties of the University of Gazi. The research findings have found that professional research and commitment are related at the middle level to career compatibility and career optimism. In contrast, individuals who tend to make early decisions tend to be less career optimism and less career compatibility. The contribution of both professional research and commitment and the tendency to make early decisions has been significant in the promotion of career optimism, while the contribution of only professional research and commitment has been significant in the promotion of career optimism. This study has come to the conclusion that it provides information for career psychological consulting interventions aimed at helping individuals make career choices, career transitions and career changes.
