Quality academics are crucial to enhance universities’ visibility in attracting more international students to pursue their tertiary education. Consequently, this may lead to the nation aspiration of becoming higher education hub in the region. Thus, understanding individuals’ interest towards pursuing academic career may lead to the recruitment of quality academics. A quantitative study was carried out involving 463 third year undergraduate students in selected universities. Passion, role model, and workplace flexibility had been found to significantly predict the intention to pursue academic career based on social cognitive career theory. In addition, career decision-making self-efficacy was found to be a significant intervening role that motivate further one’s confidence in pursuing academic career. Factor analyses led to the identification of new variables which significantly predict the criterion variables. However, the strength of relationship between each variable to criterion variable differs. Passion, supportive role models, and perceived workplace flexibility were found to be significantly predicting intention to pursue academic career. On the other hand, perceived workplace flexibility was found to have less influence when compared to the other two variables. Meanwhile, career decision-making self-efficacy of assessing personal and occupational features and career decision-making self-efficacy of gathering occupational information were well reported to partially mediate the relationship of passion and supportive role models, and the criterion variable.

The Relationship

We explored the mediating effect of decision-making self-efficacy in the relationship between undergraduates' perceived career-related peer support and career exploration. Participants were 650 junior and senior undergraduates from 6 public universities in Shanghai, China. The key results were as follows: (1) career information and suggestion, emotional support, and peer role models were the 3 dominant factors of career-related peer support; (2) career-related peer support was positively and significantly correlated with career exploration; and (3) career decision-making self-efficacy mediated the relationship between career-related peer support and career exploration. Specifically, career information and suggestion and peer role models provided proximal and distal support, promoting individuals' career exploration not only directly but also indirectly through career decision-making self-efficacy. In comparison, emotional support from peers provided only distal support, promoting individual career exploration indirectly through career decision-making self-efficacy. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings, study limitations, and future research directions are discussed.

Success Criteria

As boundaryless careers become mainstream, individuals need to enhance career decision-making self-efficacy (CDSE) during career transitions to secure better employment outcomes and sustainable career development, especially when moving from a school to a work environment. Drawing on social cognitive career theory, this study empirically proposed a moderated mediation model to examine whether proactive personality (measured at Time 1), career success criteria clarity (CSCC, measured at Time 2), and family socioeconomic status (including family income, parents’ educational level, and parents’ occupational level; measured at Time 1) would contribute to CDSE (measured at Time 2). Results based on a two-wave survey of 235 college students showed that: (1) proactive personality positively predicted CDSE; (2) CSCC positively predicted CDSE; (3) CSCC partly mediated the relation between proactive personality and CDSE; (4) the positive effect of CSCC on CDSE was stronger among students with a lower family socioeconomic status. Individuals with strong proactive personalities were more likely to develop salience in career success criteria and in turn became more confident in making career decisions. Therefore, vocational educators in higher education could help to improve students’ CDSE by promoting training programs for proactive thinking, providing successful role models, and encouraging family involvement, especially for students with a lower family socioeconomic status.

Cluster Random Sampling

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan keterlibatan orang tua terhadap efikasi diri pengambilan keputusan karier yang dilakukan pada sampel yang terlibat sebanyak 400 peserta didik yang dipilih menggunakan teknik Cluster Random Sampling. Hipotesis penelitian ini bahwa neuroticism dan extraversion memediasi hubungan antara keterlibatan orang tua dengan efikasi diri pengambilan keputusan karier. Metode pengumpulan data menggunakan skala psikologi yang diadaptasi. Metode analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif dan analisis mediasi dengan teknik bootstrap bias corrected method dengan confidential interval 95%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keterlibatan orang tua memprediksi efikasi diri pengambilan keputusan karier dan extraversion, namun tidak dapat memprediksi neuroticism,sedangkan neuroticism dapat memprediksi efikasi diri pengambilan keputusan karier, selanjutnya extraversion memediasi hubungan keterlibatan orang tua dengan efikasi diri pengambilan keputusan karier. Penelitian ini memberikan pemahaman bagi konselor mengenai hubungan keterlibatan orang tua serta pengaruh aspek personal (efikasi diri dankepribadian) dalam pemilihan karier.__________________________________________________________ This study aims to determine the relationship of parental involvement to career decision making self-efficacy carried out in the sample involved as many as 400 students selected using cluster random sampling technique. The hypothesis that neuroticism and extraversion mediate the relationship between parental involvement and career decision makingself-efficacy. Methods of data collection using an adapted psychological scale. Data analysis method used is descriptive analysis and mediation analysis with corrected method bias bootstrap technique with 95% confidential intervals. The results showed that parental involvement predicts career decision making self-efficacy and extraversion, but cannot predict neuroticism,while neuroticism can predict the career decision makingself-efficacy, furthermore extraversion mediates the relationship of parental involvement with career decision making self-efficacy. This study provides counselors with an understanding of the relationship of parental involvement and the influence of personal aspects (self-efficacy and personality) in career selection.
