Este trabajo parte de una revisión general de la iniciativa empresarial de los jóvenes españoles para proponer un modelo sociocognitivo del comportamiento emprendedor y sus desencadenantes durante la etapa universitaria. En la validación de dicho modelo, se describen los resultados de un estudio de autoinforme llevado a cabo con una muestra representativa de 400 estudiantes de la Universidad de León. Los datos recabados fueron tratados estadísticamente a través de análisis factorial exploratorio y análisis multivariado de la varianza (MANOVA). Los resultados obtenidos permitieron identificar cinco componentes en el estudio de la conducta emprendedora de los encuestados, en términos de autoeficacia emprendedora, expectativas de resultados extrínsecos e intrínsecos, intereses emprende-dores y elección de carrera emprendedora. En general, los estudiantes de titulaciones Socio-Jurídicas y Técnicas tuvieron puntuaciones medias más altas en dichas dimensiones que sus iguales de otras ramas académicas. Las implicaciones de tales resultados para el diseño de programas académicos adaptados al EEES son discutidas.<br /><br /><br />This paper presents a general review of entrepreneurship in Spanish young people to propose a social cognitive model of entrepreneurial behaviour and its triggers in university contexts. To validate the model, we describe the results from a study carried out with a sample of 400 undergraduates at the University of León, in Spain. Data was analyzed by exploratory factor analysis and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Findings identified five components in the study of participants’ entrepreneurial behaviour, particularly, self-efficacy, extrinsic and intrinsic outcome expectations, entrepreneurial interests and career choice. In general, students within Social and Technical degrees displayed higher mean scores in those variables than undergraduates in other academic areas. Implications of these results for the design of academic programmes adapted to the EHEA are discussed

Social Cognitive Model

The present study examined the role of calling in a social cognitive model of well-being using a sample of 328 South Korean teachers. The model incorporating calling into the social cognitive model of well-being demonstrated an excellent fit, and our variables accounted for significant variance in job satisfaction (47%) and life satisfaction (38%). Among the 12 direct paths of the proposed model, 10 hypothesized paths were significant. The direct paths from positive affect to calling, self-efficacy, job satisfaction, and life satisfaction; from calling to self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and life satisfaction; from self-efficacy to outcome expectations; from outcome expectations to job satisfaction; and from job satisfaction to life satisfaction were significant. Additionally, the mediating paths between positive affect and life satisfaction via calling, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and job satisfaction were significant. The practical implications for enhancing teachers’ job and life satisfaction and future directions of research were discussed.

Social Cognitive Model

We examined the differential roles that career decision-making self-efficacy and the Big Five traits of neuroticism, extroversion, and conscientiousness may play in relation to career decision status and decisional difficulty. Following assumptions of the social cognitive model of career self-management, we hypothesized that the relations of the personality traits to level of decidedness and choice/commitment anxiety (CCA), a key source of indecision, would be mediated by self-efficacy. We also examined the possibility that the traits could function to moderate the relation of self-efficacy to the dependent variables. Employing a sample of 182 undergraduates, we found support for a mediational model in which each of the personality traits relates to self-efficacy which, in turn, predicts CCA and decidedness. In addition, conscientiousness was found to moderate the relation of career decision-making self-efficacy to CCA, and extroversion moderated the relation of self-efficacy to decidedness. We consider the findings in relation to the social cognitive model and discuss their implications for future research and career decision-making interventions.
