Optimism, Career Decision Self-Efficacy and Career Indecision Among Greek Adolescents

Journal Title: Education Quarterly Reviews - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 1

Abstract

The study explored the mediating role of career decision making self-efficacy between optimism and adolescents' career indecision. Using a sample of 153 Greek high school students, it was found that optimism influenced career indecision both directly and indirectly (via career decision making self-efficacy). The findings are discussed with reference to the social cognitive career theory (SCCT) framework. Implications for research and adolescents' career counseling are also discussed.
