Personality type can be defined as an image of oneself manifested publicly. John Lewis Holland argues that personality type influences career choices and job satisfaction. Holland's Career Theory states that the most congruent personality types for a teacher's career are social, entrepreneurial, and artistic personality. The personality types that are less suited for a teaching role include the investigative, conventional, and realistic types. This research aimed to compare the congruence or incompatibility of personality types with the learning achievement of Primary School Teacher Education students at Adzkia University. This comparative quantitative study used the personality test arranged based on the concept of Hexagonal Theory by John Holland. The research sample comprised 161 selected using a simple random sampling technique. The research results show that 60% of the students' personality is congruent with their job as a teacher, whereas the remaining 40% shows the opposite. The average academic achievement of student’s personality congruent with their job as a teacher is 81.6, while student personality opposite is 78.9. There is only a 2.1 point difference between the two. Furthermore, there is no difference in the learning achievement of students with the congruent personality type and those without. The hypothesis test result shows that personality type has no impact on learning achievement.

<p style="text-align: justify;">In the last decade, vocational education in Indonesia has experienced problems in making career decisions for students, which was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, this research aims to examine the role of self-efficacy and mediate digital literacy, social environment, and counselling guidance in influencing career decision-making. This is an ex-post-facto research design with data collected from a sample of 566 vocational education students in Indonesia through a questionnaire method distributed online using Google Form. The collected data was then analyzed using structural equation modelling (SEM) with path analysis and bootstrap methods. The results revealed that self-efficacy plays a vital role in mediating digital literacy and guiding students in career decision-making. On the other hand, digital literacy, guidance, and counselling have a significant direct effect on self-efficacy and career decision-making. Meanwhile, the social environment only has a significant direct effect on students’ career decision-making. The real role of all elements of vocational education in strengthening self-efficacy, growing digital literacy, monitoring social environment interactions, and providing counselling guidance to students is needed to increase optimism and the quality of career decision-making in vocational education.</p>

BackgroundIn the face of a global nursing shortage, nursing interns are crucial to sustaining the healthcare workforce. However, these interns encounter significant challenges in career decision-making, often exacerbated by the impostor phenomenon, which impedes their capacity to make informed choices. Despite its importance, little research has been reported on the specific conditions and contributing factors that affect nursing interns’ career decision-making processes.ObjectiveTo understand the current status of nursing interns’ impostor phenomenon, psychological resilience, and career decision-making difficulties, and to validate the mediating role of psychological resilience between impostor phenomenon and career decision-making difficulties using structural equation modeling.MethodsFive hundred eighty-two nursing interns from four tertiary hospitals in Wuhan City, Hubei Province of China were selected by stratified random sampling. Data were collected with the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale, Career Decision-Making Difficulties Questionnaire, and the 10-item Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale through an online survey. Mediation effect tests were conducted using SPSS 26.0 and PROCESS software.Results(1) The score for career decision-making difficulties was 99.34 (SD = 21.78), the score for impostor phenomenon was 57.58 (SD = 12.13), and the score of psychological resilience was 32.11 (SD = 8.50); (2) Psychological resilience had a significant negative correlation with career decision-making difficulties (r = −0.724, p < 0.01), and impostor phenomenon had a significant negative correlation with psychological resilience (r = −0.608, p < 0.01), and had a significant positive correlation with career decision-making difficulties (r = 0.700, p < 0.01). Psychological resilience played a partial mediating role between impostor phenomenon and career decision-making difficulties (p < 0.01), with the mediating effect (Effect Value = 0.518, Bootstrap 95% CI: 0.430, 0.610) accounting for 41.27% of the total effect.ConclusionCareer decision-making difficulties are common among nursing interns. Effective strategies should address the impostor phenomenon and promote psychological resilience to enhance self-awareness and create a supportive environment.
