Korean College Students

Preparing for a career is a key task that should be completed during the transition period from adolescence to adulthood. With a sample of 160 Korean college students we analyzed the effect of self-identity on career decision-making self-efficacy and examined the roles of college adjustment and social support as mediators in this relationship. The results showed that college adjustment and social support both mediated the effect of self-identity on career decision-making self-efficacy. College students with a stronger sense of self-identity adapted more positively to college life and perceived more social support, which led to higher career decision-making self-efficacy. Although our focus was on Korean college students, our results have practical implications for the enhancement of all college students' career decision-making self-efficacy.

Path Analyses

Intolerance of uncertainty (IU) refers to the tendency to fear the unknown and to worry excessively about potential future negative outcomes. In the career decision-making process, college students experience uncertainty regarding the future of occupational opportunities and the evolution of their interests and capabilities. Anxiety is a well-established predictor of career indecision. Therefore, this study examined the role of anxiety as a mediator in the relation of IU and rumination to three dimensions of career decision making difficulties among college students ( N = 678). Results of path analyses indicated that as hypothesized, after controlling for age, intolerance of uncertainty was directly and indirectly (though anxiety) related to the three dimensions of career decision making difficulties: lack of readiness, lack of information, and inconsistent information. Results suggested that career choice interventions may be enhanced with a targeted emphasis on coping with the uncertainty involved in career decision making among college students.
