The Relationship

The aim of this study was to validate the French version of the Career Decision-Making Difficulties Questionnaire (CDDQ) and to assess its measurement invariance across gender, age groups, countries, and student versus career counseling samples. We also examined the sensitivity of this instrument to discriminate a career counseling population from a general student sample. Third, we studied the relationship between career decision-making difficulties, career decision-making self-efficacy, and self-esteem in a sample of 1,748 French and French-speaking Swiss participants. A confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the overall hierarchical structure of the CDDQ. Multigroup analysis indicated that the level of invariance across groups almost always reached configural, metric, and scalar invariance. Differences between countries were very small, whereas differences between the general population and career counseling subsamples were much larger. Both self-esteem and self-efficacy significantly predicted career decision-making difficulties. Moreover, as expected, self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between self-esteem and career decision-making difficulties.

Tenth Grade

The purpose of the present study was to investigate factors that influence the career decision-making of tenth graders in the South-Batina governorate and the extent of influence of each, in addition to the effect of gender, level of achievement, field of specialty, and parents educational level variables on those factors. A quantitative method approach was used for data collection. A questionnaire of career decision-making factors was applied to a random cluster sample of (350) tenth grade students (52.3% male, and 47.7% female). Factor analysis yielded three subscales for self-efficacy, family and social factors, and school factors. The results of the study indicate that first school factors, then self-efficacy, and finally family and social factors reported high levels of influence on the career decisions made by tenth graders. The independent samples t-Test revealed that the self-efficacy and school factors influence female students. Moreover, the results show that the self-efficacy and school factors are mainly influencing the science students. The One-Way ANOVA Test revealed significant differences in self-efficacy related to the achievement level, favouring students with high achievement. The results also show significant differences in both school factors influencing low achievement students and the self-efficacy factor favouring parents with higher education.
