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 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a dearth of career intervention literature pertaining to underprepared community college students. This student population lacks sufficient college coursework preparation and also often lacks career decision-making self-efficacy (CDMSE), confidence in completing career decision-related tasks. Underprepared students with low CDMSE are typically indecisive, lack clear career goals, and thus struggle to persist in college. This phenomenological qualitative study explored the role of career learning experiences in shaping CDMSE and career goals of eight underprepared students participating in a voluntary career preparation program. Although not a longitudinal study, it captured the participants' lived experience that spanned across many semesters. The study described the participants' efficacy development prior to entering the program, during the seminar, and after seminar. The social cognitive career theory (SCCT) conceptual model was used as the framework to depict how the participants' academic and career interests developed and how their choices transpired and converted to action. The competencies associated with CDMSE development--self appraisal, gathering information, goal selection, goal planning, and problem solving--and the skills associated with these competencies were examined. Efficacy across all five areas were reflected in the narrative, but at varying levels. The behaviors germane to gathering occupational information, goal planning, and goal selection were most prevalent throughout the lived experiences relative to problem solving and self-appraisal. The results derived from the participants' narratives described how varied efficacy-focused activities, modality of delivery, and components of efficacious career intervention furthered skill development. The study also posited academic attitudes and beliefs of the participants, career decidedness, and internal locus of control were contributors to CDMSE development. Moreover, this study also suggested enhanced vocational identity was derived from career learning experiences and that change mindset seemed to be the conduit for heightened self-concept. Mentoring, coaching, and abundant support resources were integral to mitigating perceived barriers, and augmenting goal setting and goal commitment among program participants. The study described the interplay among these various factors in shaping the lived experience of the participants. The lived experience was depicted as efficacy rich and outcome based, varied, iterative, supportive, and transformative. This qualitative study brings to light the intricacies and many challenges that come with supporting CDMSE development and goals among underprepared community college students. Implications for practice and research are offered.

Makela and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was motivated by concerns regarding the difficult academic and career choices facing today0́9s college students as they navigate higher education and encounter career barriers along their paths. Using Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT; Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 1994) as a primary framework, the study sought to understand the role that individual career counseling could play as an environmental support to help students explore options, make choices, set goals, and take the necessary steps to implement their choices and persist to their goals. The research questions examined both the outcomes of participating in individual career counseling (e.g., changes in career decision-making self-efficacy and perceptions of career barriers), and the process of participation as viewed through students0́9 perspectives (e.g., components of career counseling that students found most helpful). This study employed a quasi-experimental design using mixed methods to examine first-year college students0́9 interpretations of individual career counseling experiences, as well as the influence of those experiences on career choices, career decision-making self-efficacy (CDMSE), and perceptions of career barriers. Employing a mixed methods approach in data collection and data analysis provided opportunities to (a) build on the primarily quantitative past research through use of preestablished and tested survey instruments to examine career intervention outcomes, (b) develop a deep understanding of students0́9 experiences via interviews to examine the career choice process, and (c) uncover unique insights by employing the multiple lenses offered by a mixed methods approach. The study targeted first-year college students who had not selected a major or academic focus upon entrance to a large, 4-year public university. A total of 130 students persisted in the study, including 33 in the treatment group and 97 in the control group. The treatment was a structured career development intervention consisting of (a) an initial individual career counseling appointment; (b) a performance accomplishment activity related to the particular student0́9s unique career development needs; and (c) a second individual career counseling appointment that provided support for reflection on and interpretation of the performance accomplishment activity, as well as discussion of possible next steps. Survey and interview data were collected at three times over the course of a full academic year: (a) prior to the intervention, (b) 2 to 4 weeks following the intervention, and (c) 5 to 6 months following the intervention. Data analysis considered immediate outcomes of individual career counseling participation, the influence of lag time on those outcomes, and student perceptions of what contributed to the outcomes they experienced. The main contribution of this study relates the process of individual career counseling, and the major findings are discussed from two perspectives. First, the components of career counseling that emerged as particularly influential for facilitating students0́9 career choices are presented, including (a) resource and information delivery; (b) career counselor0́4client relationships that were marked by a sense of openness, flexibility, demonstrations of genuine interest and attentiveness to students0́9 stories, and invitations to return for further assistance; and (c) student engagement in performance accomplishment activities related to making and implementing career choices. Second, the areas of the career choice process that were influenced by career counseling are discussed. Comparisons are made to the influences theorized in SCCT, with evidence uncovered that both supports the model proposed by Lent et al. (1994) and suggests potential theoretical expansions for future research. Beyond the process-oriented contributions of this study, findings are presented regarding the observed outcomes of individual career counseling, addressing both the outcomes specifically outlined within the research questions (changes in CDMSE and perceptions of career barriers) and additional insights that emerged within participant interviews, such as making progress on career choice tasks, experiencing affective changes, and motivating future help-seeking intentions and behaviors. Finally, the findings address compelling issues that were not initially central to the study, yet emerged during the data collection and analyses. These issues include (a) client readiness for seeking assistance, (b) potential spaces for career counseling to affect career barrier reduction and connections with environmental supports, and (c) limitations of individual career counseling. Study findings related to the process and outcomes of participating in individual career counseling led to suggestions of potential new theoretical connections regarding the ways in which career counselors influence students. Insights were also gained regarding the role that individual career counseling can play as an environmental support to facilitate the career choice process. Implications are offered for theory, research, and practice.

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.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the career development of underprepared college students through a framework of Relational Career Theory. Demographic information was reported for the population to help better understand these students. Specifically, the constructs of family influence, locus of control, and career decision-making self-efficacy were explored as they relate to perceived success in college. Finally, gender differences for each construct were also examined. The demographic information collected supports reported statistical information about this group in that students of a minority status and first-generation college students were overrepresented in the population. No significant relationship between the RCT constructs and perceived success in college were found. However, significant correlations between external locus of control and family expectations, financial support, and values and beliefs were found indicating that a greater family influence is related to external control. Additionally, higher levels of career decision-making self-efficacy were related to internal locus of control and informational support from family. These findings support previous research as well as theorized RCT connections. Finally, no significant differences between men and women were found. This study provides further information about underprepared college students to help practitioners better understand this population. This study also provides significant correlations between the RCT constructs of family influence, locus of control, and career decision-making self-efficacy.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book reports an empirical investigation about students' perceptions of career guidance, participation in the activities and career decision making self efficacy (CDSE). Various dimensions of these variables were examined and relationships explored with a view to assisting students to overcome the difficulties associated with career decision making. Similarly, inputs in the book would be very much relevant for improving performance among students through strengthen self efficacy positive dimensions and adjusting the weak side. However, stakeholders of school counselling programme where career guidance is housed, would find the book useful as it further justify the importance of career guidance in the school system which professionals have widely perceived as a service of necessity as it prepares students to get through competitions and to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Moreover, it equips students with information necessary for informed career decisions that have far significant impact in education, career and entire lifespan.
