“…The bifactor model fit the data better than other plausible models, indicating a general postgraduate school application self-efficacy factor accounting for overlap across items, in addition to four distinct subfactors of Self-Promotion (SP), Resume/CV preparation (CV), Securing a Recommendation (LOR), and Standardized Test Preparation (STP). This is consistent with recent self-efficacy research, which has supported the use of bifactor structures for modeling career decision selfefficacy (Török et al, 2016), multicultural counseling self-efficacy (Sheu et al, 2012), and exercise self-efficacy (Cornick, 2015). A bifactor model that includes a general PSASE factor is conceptually consistent with the possibility that efficacy regarding the application process is intertwined with students' confidence in enacting more specific application behaviors regarding securing a letter of recommendation, promoting themselves, completing a resume/CV, and preparing for standardized tests.…”

This study introduces a new construct to the literature that may impact students’ entrance into postgraduate programs: postgraduate school application self-efficacy. Although previous scholars have explored the admissions processes for a variety of disciplines and have developed a measure for graduate education self-efficacy, no measure has been developed to assess postgraduate school application self-efficacy (PSASE). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop and validate a measure of 423 undergraduate students’ PSASE. Parallel analyses, exploratory factor analyses, and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to determine the underlying factor structure of the PSASE scale. Reliability and correlational analyses were also conducted to assess convergent and discriminant validity. Results revealed a conceptually interpretable, 16-item, four-factor solution that accounted for 80.88% of the total variance. Correlational analyses with graduate education self-efficacy and self-esteem provided evidence of convergent and discriminant validity for the PSASE subscales. Implications and future directions were explored.

“…To measure participants' level of career decision making self-efficacy, we use Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale (CDMSE-SF) in the short version as revised by Betz et al (1996). It is known that CDMSE-SF is the most widely used measure of career decision making self-efficacy globally, with no issue on its validity (Gaudron, 2011;Török, Tóth-Király, Beáta, & Orosz, 2016). The scale has 25 items, with 5 items allocated to each of the 5 subscales, namely self-appraisal, occupational information, goal selection, planning, and problem solving.…”

Career Decision-Making Attribution and Self Efficacy: The Moderating Role of Emotional Intelligence

It is known that gifted high-school students tend to have difficulty in choosing career due to their wide-range interests and capabilities. In order to successfully making an appropriate career choice, having a high level of career decision making self-efficacy (CDMSE) is an important precondition. CDMSE is the belief in one’s ability to successfully complete the task necessary to make career-related decisions. Of several factors known to be affecting CDMSE, previous study has shown that career decision-making attribution (CDMA) could affect students CDMSE. However, the CDMA effect on CDMSE in gifted student is seemed to be related to personal trait of students, namely emotional intelligence (EI). Therefore, this study aims to examine the moderating role of EI on the impact of gifted high-school student CDMA on CDMSE. Subjects in this study were gifted high school students (N = 165; 52.12% males; M-age = 16.20 years old) in Jakarta. The measurement tools used are CDMSE Scale Short-Form, Assessment of Attribution for Career Decision Making, and Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire Short-Form (TEIQue-SF) adapted into Indonesian language. The data were analyzed using simple regression analysis with Hayes PROCESS model. It was found that there is a direct effect of CDMA on CDMSE with (F (1,163) = 10.6661, p = .0033 < .001), in which CDMA serves as a predictor of CDMSE. We also found that EI can serve as a predictor of CDMSE (F (1,163) = 10.6661, p = .0007<.001. However, EI did not moderate the CDMA-CDMSE relation. Discussion, limitations, and suggestions for further research are listed.

“…Respondents were asked to rate their confidence in completing certain tasks of the career decision-making process on a 5-point Likert scale (1-no confidence at all to 5complete confidence). The CDSES-SF has been tested using single factor and multi-factor solutions, however the present research adopted the single factor model because it has been shown by several studies as more adequate (Török, Tóth-Király, Bőthe, & Orosz, 2017).The measure includes statements such as ''Use the internet to find information about occupations that interest you" and "Determine what your ideal job would be". Scores range from 0 to 225, where higher scores represent greater self-efficacy in career decision-making and lower scores represent less self-efficacy in career decision-making.…”

Emotions and confidence are said to play an important role in the career decision-making process. The present study, comprising 472 students attending a large university in the United Kingdom, advances current thinking in this area in two ways. First, by identifying specific emotional intelligence (EI) abilities that are key to decision making, and second, by exploring the role of career decision self-efficacy (CDSE) as a potential mediator in the relationship between EI and career decision-making difficulties (CDD). Regression and mediation analyses indicated that EI was negatively related to CDD and that effects were strongest for self-emotion appraisal. EI was also positively related to CDSE, with use of emotion eliciting the strongest effect. Career decision self-efficacy was largely found to mediate the relationship between overall and specific abilities of EI and CDD, with full mediation effects observed for self-emotion appraisal and use of emotion and various difficulties. The findings and limitations are discussed with reference to the literature together with practical implications for career counseling and suggestions for future research.
