The Relative Contributions of Self-Efficacy and Locus of Control to the Prediction of Career Maturity.

Luzzo, Darrell Anthony

Journal of College Student Development, v36 n1 p61-66 Jan-Feb 1995

One hundred thirteen undergraduates completed measures of career decision-making (CDM) self-efficacy, career locus of control, CDM attitudes, and CDM skills. Results proved the self-efficacy theory superior to the locus of control model in predicting college students' CDM attitudes. No significant gender differences emerged among the variables. (RJM)
