An Examination of the Relationships among Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy, Career Salience, Locus of Control, and Vocational Indecision.

Taylor, Karen M.; Popma, Joellen

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v37 n1 p17-31 Aug 1990

Measures of career decision-making self-efficacy (CDMSE), occupational self-efficacy, locus of control, and career salience and indecision were administered to 203 female and 204 male college students. CDMSE was found to be the only significant predictor of vocational indecision. No relationship was observed between CDMSE and career salience nor were gender differences observed. (SK)
