Abstract
Polish emigrants who follow their professional ambitions within multicultural labor market in most cases work not in line with their learnt professions. Despite this fact they are satisfied with their jobs and feel they have achieved professional success. Thus, the question arises, what is the key to their very positive self-esteem of professional achievement or whether they pursue their career paths without using the learnt so-called hard competencies. It remains to believe that the soft competencies of the intercultural competences group are the main cause of this state of affairs. The aim of this study was to establish a link between intercultural competences and professional success of Polish workers in England. The study involved 123 people working in the South-West of England. Studies have shown that only in two types of competences: – competence of communication and competence of emotional intelligence – the test-takers who achieved significantly higher level of results were the ones who believed they achieved professional success. In other cases, the difference was not seen. Therefore, it can be concluded that the high level of ownership of competences such as communication competence and emotional intelligence is a specific determinant of career success abroad.
