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.

This study examines the relationships between two different types of individual orientation (i.e., protean career orientation and employment commitment) and career satisfaction. Drawing on self-determination theory and social cognitive theory, we propose that work engagement and self-efficacy act as mediators in the above relationships. Several hypotheses are developed and tested with a sample of 222 employees in Hong Kong. The results of path analysis and bootstrapping indicated that both protean career orientation and employment commitment are positively related to career satisfaction, and these relationships are fully mediated by work engagement and self-efficacy.

The present study explored a relationship between protean career orientation (PCO) and career outcomes (i.e., subjective and objective career success) on millennial IT professionals. A model proposing that the effect of PCO on career outcomes is mediated by career decision self-efficacy was assessed. Data were collected from 1,000 respondents, out of which 685 questionnaires were considered for analysis purpose. Of all the respondents, 470 (68.6%) respondents were male and 215 (31.4%) were female. All the respondents were within the age group of 25–40 years (completed age as of 2019). From the total respondents, 40.4% (277) were BTech, 25.8% (177) were MCA, 17.7% (121) were MBAs and 16.1% (110) respondents were from other educational background. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted using AMOS for verification of the questionnaire. Hayes process model, type-4 in SPSS 21, was used for testing the mediation. The findings of the study revealed that protean individuals experienced higher levels of subjective and objective career success (on salary). Mediation effect was supported for subjective career success.

Protean career orientation has become prevalent among young workers in contemporary workplace. Little is known about whether this orientation is related to their positive expectation of future career development. We developed a conceptual model to investigate the relationship between protean career orientation and career optimism. Informed by social construction theory and social cognitive career theory, we considered career adaptability and career decision self-efficacy (CDSE) as potential mediators in the model. Several hypotheses were proposed and tested with a sample of 170 undergraduate students in Hong Kong. The results of path analysis and bootstrapping indicated that protean career orientation has a positive relationship with career optimism, and such relationship is fully mediated by career adaptability and CDSE. Our study has yielded novel into how some individual differences factors affect the development of career optimism among university students.

Purpose – Career resilience (CR) is an increasingly important, but under-researched aspect of modern careers. The purpose of this paper is to examine the mediating effect of CR on the relationships between personality factors, career self-evaluations and modern career orientation and the outcome of career satisfaction (CS). The authors hypothesized that CR would be positively associated with the “big-5” personality factors, career self-evaluations (self-efficacy and external locus of control) and modern career orientations (protean and boundaryless orientations) and that CR would mediate those variables’ relationships with CS. Design/methodology/approach – The participants in the study were 1,988 employed managers and professionals. Structural equation modeling was used to test the proposed relationships and mediation model. Findings – CR mediated the relationships between CS and emotional stability, conscientiousness, emotional stability, openness to experience, internal work locus of control, career self-efficacy and protean career attitudes. Contrary to expectations, being values-driven was negatively associated with CR, producing a negative net indirect effect on CS. Research limitations/implications – The study extends previous work concerning CR by examining the role of CR as a mediator between various psychological career factors and CS (i.e. subjective career success). An important issue is whether CR is a unique construct relative to psychological resilience. The results suggest that this may be the case, but direct comparison between the two constructs is required to answer the question definitively. Practical implications – Strengthening CR through career development interventions can have important impacts on CS, particularly for those individuals who are values-driven or have boundaryless mindsets and preferences for organizational mobility. Originality/value – This is the first study to examine the relationship between CR and “new career” attitudes (i.e. boundaryless and protean career orientations), which have been the topic of much research. The authors contribute to the career success research by linking CR and modern career orientation to CS and demonstrating that CR mediates the relationships between career-related psychological factors (personality, self-evaluation and modern career orientation) and CS.

Purpose Difficulty in understanding spoken speech is a common complaint among aging adults, even when hearing impairment is absent. Correlational studies point to a relationship between age, auditory temporal processing (ATP), and speech perception but cannot demonstrate causality unlike training studies. In the current study, we test (a) the causal relationship between a spatial–temporal ATP task (temporal order judgment [TOJ]) and speech perception among aging adults using a training design and (b) whether improvement in aging adult speech perception is accompanied by improved self-efficacy. Method Eighty-two participants aged 60–83 years were randomly assigned to a group receiving (a) ATP training (TOJ) over 14 days, (b) non-ATP training (intensity discrimination) over 14 days, or (c) no training. Results The data showed that TOJ training elicited improvement in all speech perception tests, which was accompanied by increased self-efficacy. Neither improvement in speech perception nor self-efficacy was evident following non-ATP training or no training. Conclusions There was no generalization of the improvement resulting from TOJ training to intensity discrimination or generalization of improvement resulting from intensity discrimination training to speech perception. These findings imply that the effect of TOJ training on speech perception is specific and such improvement is not simply the product of generally improved auditory perception. It provides support for the idea that temporal properties of speech are indeed crucial for speech perception. Clinically, the findings suggest that aging adults can be trained to improve their speech perception, specifically through computer-based auditory training, and this may improve perceived self-efficacy.
