The Impact

Pemilihan karier merupakan pengambilan keputusan siswa atas dasar pemahaman potensi. Beberapa masalah lulusan sekolah kejuruan saat ini termasuk kurangnya kemampuan pengetahuan (potensi) diri; belum dapat memutuskan rencana setelah lulus, apakah bekerja, kuliah, atau wiraswasta; kekurangan pemahaman jenis pekerjaan; belum mampu menggabungkan potensi pekerjaan yang akan dipilih; dan belum bisa merencanakan kariernya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh efikasi diri, konsep diri, kematangan karir, kematangan vokasional dan orientasi karir siswa SMK dalam pengambilan keputusan karir. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan adalah probability sampling. Subjek penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas XI dan XII SMK di Sumatera, Jawa Tengah dan Yogyakarta. Teknik analisis data uji regresi berganda untuk mengetahui hubungan antara variabel bebas dan variabel terikat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh positif dan signifikan antara efikasi diri karir, konsep diri, kematangan karir, kematangan vokasional dan orientasi karir siswa SMK dalam pengambilan keputusan karir sebesar 20,3%. Berdasarkan penelitian yang telah dilakukan, pilihan karier siswa adalah dampak yang diberikan terhadap wawasan karier. BK dan BKK diharapkan mampu mengoptimalkan pelayanannya terkait mengenai berbagai informasi tentang dunia kerja, jumlah peluang kerja dan  kualifikasi yang dibutuhkan untuk berbagai macam jenis profesi yang ada, sehingga siswa dapat menentukan pilihan karirnya secara mandiri. Career selection is a student's decision-making on the basis of understanding potential. Some of the problems of current vocational school graduates include lack of self-knowledge; not being able to decide after graduation, whether to work, study, or self-employed; lack of understanding of work; not being able to combine potential the job to be chosen; and have not been able to plan their career. The research aims to determine the effect of self-efficacy, self-concept, career maturity, vocational maturity, and career orientation of vocational students in making career decisions. The sampling technique used is probability sampling. The research subjects were students of Vocational High School classes XI and XII in Sumatra, Central Java, and Yogyakarta. The regression test data analysis techniques to determine the correlation between the independent variables and the dependent variable. The results showed that there was a positive and significant influence between career self-efficacy, self-concept, career maturity, vocational maturity, and career orientation of vocational students in career decision-making of 20.3%. Based on the research that has been done, students' career choice is the impact given to career spirit. BK and BKK are expected to be able to optimize their services related to various world information, the number of job opportunities, and qualifications needed for various professions, so that students can make independent choices.

The appropriateness of Super's career theory among black South Africans is discussed in terms of developmental stages, the self-concept, career maturity, and career decision-making. Suggestions are provided as to how these constructs may need to be re-evaluated and thus become more meaningful to career counsellors and researchers.

The Impact

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to enhance the understanding of consumer empowerment in the relationship between consumers and service providers. It draws on self-efficacy theory to conceptualize consumer empowerment and explain the impact on perceived performance risk in insurance decision making. Design/methodology/approach This study employs data collected from an online survey involving 487 consumers in Switzerland, who recently decided on an insurance service. A structural equation model quantifies both the psychological effects on consumers’ perception of insurance services and behavioral effects on their decision-making process. Findings Perceived consumer empowerment is conceptualized by perceived self-efficacy and perceived controllability. Both have a significant impact on perceived performance risk, while the former is partially mediated by the preference to delegate the decision to a surrogate. Moreover, customers’ involvement in the purchase process moderates both the direct and indirect effect of perceived self-efficacy on perceived performance risk. Research limitations/implications The results are based on consumers’ perceptions from a single country. Furthermore, consumers’ perceptions were surveyed with a time lag after the decision-making process. To increase rigor, perceptions should be collected during decision making. Practical implications Results show that consumer empowerment can be employed as a risk reduction strategy. Consumers with self-efficacy and controllability beliefs perceive significantly less performance risk; however, practitioners should consider that consumers are also motivated to make decisions independently rather than delegating their decisions. Furthermore, consumer empowerment depends on consumer will. For largely indifferent consumers, empowerment does not affect risk or decision delegation preference. Originality/value The study is among the few empirical works to examine the effects of consumer empowerment on the consumer-service provider relationship on an individual level. Furthermore, applying consumer empowerment in relationship marketing implies a shift in research focus to the question of how consumers construe decision-making situations rather than objectively measuring the state of consumer relationship.

Data Based Decision Making

The purpose of this review was to synthesize research on the effect of professional development (PD) targeting data-based decision-making processes on teachers’ knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy related to curriculum-based measurement (CBM) and data-based decision-making (DBDM). To be eligible for this review, studies had to (a) be published in English, (b) include in-service or pre-service K–12 teachers as participants, (c) use an empirical group design, and (d) include sufficient data to calculate an effect size for teacher outcome variables. The mean effect of DBDM PD on teacher outcomes was g = 0.57 ( p < .001). This effect was not moderated by study quality. These results must be viewed through the lens of significant heterogeneity in effects across included studies, which could not be explained by follow-up sensitivity analyses. In addition, the experimental studies included in this review occurred under ideal, researcher-supported conditions, which impacts the generalizability of the effects of DBDM PD in practice. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
