This book was released on 2017 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Latino population in the United States is growing rapidly along with the number of Latino college entrants. However, a significantly smaller percentage of Latino college students go on to graduate with four-year degrees when compared to other racial/ethnic groups. Career decision-making self-efficacy (CDMSE) has been identified as an important variable to consider given its empirically supported associations with academic persistence and lower college dropout rates. While research has supported the academic and career benefits of higher CDMSE levels, gaps in the literature exist regarding CDMSE and sociocultural factors among Latino university students. Utilizing Social Cognitive Career Theory as the theoretical framework, this study explored multiple sociocultural variables (i.e., acculturation, college generational status, and cultural congruity) and their associations with CDMSE among a sample of 260 Latino college students at a Hispanic-Serving Institution and Land Grant University in the southwestern United States. Regression analyses confirmed that both Anglo-oriented acculturation and cultural congruity significantly and positively predicted CDMSE. A hierarchical regression analysis determined that cultural congruity contributed unique and significant variance in CDMSE after accounting for the influences of acculturation and college generational status. A t-test analysis found no significant differences in CDMSE scores between first-generation and continuing generation college students. Implications for counseling psychology, study limitations, and suggestions for future research are discussed.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American higher education is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse and researchers have suggested that more attention should be given to better understanding the career development of college students of color. Although there is substantial research on career development and the career decision-making process, studies have overwhelmingly primarily used data collected from White participants. Thus, little research has been done on the career development of people of color and specifically, college students of color. The primary focus of this study was to explore relationships between career decision-making self-efficacy, career maturity attitudes, and racial identity attitudes of college students of color. In addition, the study explored relationships between career decision-making self-efficacy, career maturity attitudes, and various demographic and life experience variables.^A sample of 164 college students of color attending five institutions of higher education in the Western New York area was used for this study. A survey packet consisting of four separate self-report instruments was completed by each participant. This study employed a multiple correlation and regression survey research design which was used to examine relationships between variables. This study generated a number of important findings. First, strong relationships where found between career decision-making self-efficacy and career maturity attitudes for this sample. Second, career decision-making self-efficacy and career maturity attitudes were related both positively and negatively, depending upon participants' current racial identity status, to participants' racial identity attitudes.^Third, participants' age, year in college, academic major, mother's educational level, and family income were predictors of their confidence in their ability to make a career choice that would meet their preferred lifestyle. Lastly, none of the remaining demographic variables were related to either career development construct. This study also explored the implications of the findings on career counseling with students of color, student affairs and academic advising practice, and higher education policy. Overall, this study provides new and relevant information regarding the career and racial identity development of college students of color, a very limited body of scholarly literature.

Download or read book Hispanic Serving Institutions HSIs in Practice written by Gina Ann Garcia and published by IAP. This book was released on 2020-03-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the general population of Latinxs in the United States burgeons, so does the population of college-going Latinx students. With more Latinxs entering college, the number of Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), which are not-for-profit, degree granting postsecondary institutions that enroll at least 25% Latinxs, also grows, with 523 institutions now meeting the enrollment threshold to become HSIs. But as they increase in number, the question remains: What does it mean to serve Latinx students? This edited book, Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) in Practice: Defining “Servingness” at HSIs, fills an important gap in the literature. It features the stories of faculty, staff, and administrators who are defining “servingness” in practice at HSIs. Servingness is conceptualized as the ability of HSIs to enroll and educate Latinx students through a culturally enhancing approach that centers Latinx ways of knowing and being, with the goal of providing transformative experiences that lead to both academic and non-academic outcomes. In this book, practitioners tell their stories of success in defining servingness at HSIs. Specifically, they provide empirical and practical evidence of the results and outcomes of federally funded HSI grants, including those funded by Department of Education Title III and V grants. This edited book is ideal for higher education practitioners and scholars searching for best practices for HSIs in the United States. Administrators at HSIs, including presidents, provosts, deans, and boards of trustees, will find the book useful as they seek out ways to effectively serve Latinx and other minoritized students. Faculty who teach in higher education graduate programs can use the book to highlight practitioner engaged scholarship. Legislators and policy advocates, who fight for funding and support for HSIs at the federal level, can use the book to inform and shape a research-based Latinx educational policy agenda. The book is essential as it provides a framework that simplifies the complex phenomenon known as servingness. As HSIs become more significant in the U.S. higher education landscape, books that provide empirically based, practical examples of servingness are necessary.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Projected increases of Hispanics in the U.S. and their contribution to the labor force have created concerns for the future of the U.S. labor market due to their low educational attainment rates. While the proportion of women in the workforce is projected to increase, Mexican American women specifically are underrepresented at all levels of education and overrepresented in low-paying occupations. Due to the notion that the quality of the U.S. labor market will depend on this group's education and job skills, the career development of Hispanics has become a salient issue in research literature. This study sought to expand a theoretical model of career and achievement motivation by testing its generalizability to Mexican American women. The principal purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution of mastery motivation and career aspirations as predictors of nontraditional career self-efficacy in Mexican American adolescent women, and the moderating effect of ethnic identity on these relationships. Participants in this study consisted of 121 adolescent high school females from two public high schools in south Texas. Participants responded to each of the instruments: Occupational Self-Efficacy Scale, Career Aspiration Scale, Work and Family Orientation Questionnaire, and Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure, followed by a demographic questionnaire. The data indicated that while there was a significant relationship between Career Aspirations and non-traditional career self-efficacy (NTCSE), the addition of Ethnic Identity as a moderator did not add to the strength of the relationship. Data indicated a positive, significant relationship between mastery motivation and non-traditional career self-efficacy (NTCSE) as well as evidence of a significant moderation effect of Ethnic Identity between Mastery Motivation and NTCSE. Findings suggest that there are other factors that may be impeding the actualization of these student's aspirations. While their aspirations are high, their belief in themselves to successfully accomplish the education requirements and job duties for non-traditional careers is less than their aspirations. Due to the age of this sample, it is possible that ethnic identity may not be a salient factor influencing their self-efficacy, but instead may be a dominant cultural worldview. Limitations of this study and future research directions are discussed.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study examined the relationship between sociocultural values (e.g., marianismo, familism, ethnic identity) and female gender-role orientation (e.g., femininity/masculinity) in gender-role conflict amongst Latina college students (N = 260) in higher education at a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) in the Western United States. The results indicated that Mexican American Latina College students who endorsed gender role attitudes of marianismo and adhered to the cultural value of familism experienced higher levels of gender-role conflict. Particularly, individuals who endorsed more marianismo experienced conflict with restrictive affectionate behavior (i.e., discomfort expressing feelings to another person) and individuals who adhered to familism experienced more conflict with success, power, and competition. Findings also indicated that ethnic identity was significantly and positively correlated to familism and gender-role orientation indicating that having a salient identification with the ethnic group can influence gender-role orientation and adherence to the cultural value of familism. Correspondingly, individuals who endorsed masculinity experienced higher levels of conflict with success, power, and competition and those who endorsed femininity experienced less conflict in expressing emotions and affection for others. Implications of the research and recommendations for future research are discussed.

Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION Over more than a decade now, the Internet has virtually made our world smaller. The touch of a few keystrokes enables people to communicate, engage in commerce, and interact with others around the world. Put simply, technology has fundamentally changed the way the businesses were handled by society including consumers. This global presence of internet has enabled businesses to reach new markets and millions of new potential customers. With the result, during this period of time, online commerce or electronic commerce commonly known as e-commerce has emerged as the fastest growing sector across the globe. ―While being able to access to global markets, online commerce or e-commerce has enabled businesses to bypass the traditional intermediaries in domestic jurisdictions. Besides, owing to its lower transaction costs, online commerce has caused a steady increase in the number of sellers and suppliers in the market, thus increasing diversity and competition in the market. Therefore, online commerce has been rightly categorized as the new face of entrepreneurship which encompasses existing companies, organizations, small businesses and individual online traders.‖ 1 The term online commerce or e-commerce, which is short for electronic commerce, is the act of buying or selling goods, services, or information over an electronic network to consumers. 1n 1960's first time electronic commerce was presented through an Electronic Data Interchange (commonly known as EDI) on Value Added Networks . Today it acts as guiding the business with the assistance of electronic mass media, creating the practice of Information Technology likewise Electronic Data Interchange. E-commerce is preferable rather useful because of numerous reasons, say for example, access to products, which may not be accessible otherwise, becomes quite 1 Ivonnely Colon Figg, ―Protecting the new face of entrepreneurship: Online Appropriate Dispute resolution and International Consumer to Consumer transaction‖ 12 FJOCAFL 238 (2007),

This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explored the differences between career decision-making self-efficacy (CDMSE) and perceived career barriers of students enrolled in the applied technology program compared to those enrolled in a college transfer program at a southeastern urban community college. Participants in the ex-post facto cross-sectional survey included 787 full and part-time students at the community college. There were three research questions: (1) Are there differences in mean scores of CDMSE and perceived career barriers of applied technology and college transfer community college students pursuing associate degree, diploma or certificate programs by demographic characteristics (gender, ethnicity, age, first-generational, employment, full and part-time student status)? (2) What is the predictive value of these demographic variables on CDMSE and perceived career barriers of applied technology and college transfer community college students pursuing associate degree, diploma or certificate programs? (3) Is there a relationship between CDMSE and perceived career barriers of applied technology and college transfer community college students pursuing associate degree, diploma or certificate programs? The Career Decision Self-Efficacy-Short Form and Career Barriers Inventory-Revised were administered to participants and data were analyzed using two sample t-tests, ANOVA and multiple regression models. There were significant differences between applied technology and college transfer students in terms of perception of career barriers and career decision-making self-efficacy. The applied technology students, who tended to be older, had higher career decision-making self-efficacy scores than the college transfer students and that did not change across the other demographic variables (gender, etc). The college transfer students, who tended to be younger, had higher perception of career barriers scores, and this did not change across demographic variables. Future research using a qualitat.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efforts to increase success rates for Latino college students require a better understanding of the connection between Latino student's connection to family (familism) and their general and academic self-efficacy in order to explore a culturally inclusive view of college success. The study's participants included Latino students (N = 234) and non-Latino white students (N = 125) who were ranked as freshmen and sophomores, enrolled in randomly selected general education English sections, at a southwestern land-grant university. The purpose for the study was to (1) determine whether the level of familism was more strongly present in the families of Latino students than in the families of non-Latino white students; and (2) whether familism contributed significant variance to academic self-efficacy and general self-efficacy among this same group of students. Familism was measured by the Attitudinal Familism scale that assessed four factors: (a) familial support, (b) familial interconnectedness, (c) familial honor, and (d) subjugation of self to the family. The College Academic Self-Efficacy Scale and New General Self-Efficacy scale measured self-efficacy. Results indicate that familism was stronger among Latino students when compared to non-Latino white students in three of the four factors. Only familial interconnectedness showed similar levels for both groups. Positive meaningful relationships were found between familism and academic self-efficacy and between familism and general self-efficacy among Latino students but not for non-Latino white students. These findings offer an opportunity for looking at college success among Latino students in a different or expanded way. Discovering addition factors related to student success can inform institutions of higher education when making decisions regarding a host of institutional functions. This study adds to the limited body of knowledge and encourages important cultural conversations that have been absent on many college campuses.

Download or read book Familial Individual Social cognitive and Contextual Predictors of Career Decision Self efficacy written by Alexandra M. Ribadeneira and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results of this study indicated that familial (perceived authoritative fathering), individual (conscientiousness), and social-cognitive processes (informational and diffuse-avoidant identity styles) predicted career decision self-efficacy and contextual processes (peer controlling behaviors in career decisions) moderated the relationship between perceived permissive mothering and career decision self-efficacy. These results show that Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory of human development, Buri's perceived parenting styles framework, and social cognitive career theory provided useful insights for identifying variables related to career decision self-efficacy. However, the small amount of variance accounted for in this study tells us that more research is needed to identify other variables that contribute to the prediction of career decision self-efficacy.
