Social cognitive career theory suggests that males and females may not differ in career decision-making self-efficacy, but this statement requires extension of research to high school samples. The Career Decision-making Self-efficacy Scale–Short Form was administered to white South African high school students in Grades 9 to 11, of whom 368 were boys and 494 girls. No significant sex differences were found, suggesting that career interventions based on social cognitive career theory in high school need not be sex-specific in content.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the contributions of socioeconomic status (SES) in predicting social cognitive career theory (SCCT) factors. Data were collected from 738 college students in Taiwan. The results of the partial least squares (PLS) analyses indicated that SES significantly predicted career decision self-efficacy (CDSE); however, the relationship between SES and career decision-making outcome expectations (CDMOE) was not significant. In addition, the findings revealed that CDSE had a direct effect as well as an indirect effect, via CDMOE, on career exploratory intentions. Implications for counseling and future research are discussed.


Career self-efficacy is an important aspect of making choice, planning, and decision-related to career. Social Career Cognitive Theory (SCCT) is a career theory explaining the career self-efficacy aspect. SCCT has been expanded in the career aspect in 1994 which emphasis interest, career choice and performance aspect. Besides that, SCCT also emphasizes the importance of self-efficacy in career development externally and internally. This article elaborates on SCCT and the importance of SCCT in explaining the career self-efficacy (CSE) aspect. There are a few theories related to individual career aspects, namely Life Span Theory (Super, 1957), Holland's Theory (Holland, 1959) and Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT). However, SCCT has been chosen as a theoretical base to explain the CSE based on the justifications addressed in this article
