The study of spirituality, work value and career decision-making between Christian and Non-Christian college students
Journal Title: The Journal of Happiness and Well-Being - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
An analysis indicated that for 248 Christian college students and 356 non-Christian college students in Taiwan, there are significant relationships between the total score of spirituality and the scores of career decision making (career certainty/career indecision). Also, for both Christian and non-Christian college students, a significant relationship exists between the total score of spirituality and the total score of work value. In addition, for Christian college students, “Purpose and Meaning in Life†and “Innerness or Inner Resources†jointly predict career indecision, with explained variance of 16.6%. For non-Christian college students, “Purpose and Meaning in Life†and “Spirituality†also jointly predict their condition of career indecision, with the explained variance of 15.0%. Implications and suggestions for career counseling are also discussed.
