“…More recently, self-efficacy across Holland's (1997) hexagon has been incorporated into those conversations. The SCCT and empirical findings (e.g., Betz & Rottinghaus, 2006;Gasser et al, 2007;Harmon et al, 1994;Larson et al, 2007;Rottinghaus et al, 2003) have corroborated the reliance on both of these constructs in the consideration of choice actions, such as the selection of an educational major family. Prior to this study, researchers had not examined the contribution of self-efficacy and interests after personality traits were added as determinants of college major.…”

“…According to SCCT, personality is a distal determinant of choice actions while vocational self-efficacy and vocational interests are more proximal determinants. The influence of vocational self-efficacy as measured by the SCI (e.g., Betz & Rottinghaus, 2006;Larson et al, 2007; and interests as measured by the SII (e.g., Betz & Rottinghaus, 2006;Donnay, Morris, Schaubhut, & Thompson, 2005;Gasser et al, 2007;Harmon et al, 1994;Rottinghaus et al, 2003) in the choice of educational major has been well established in the literature and is not the focus of this study. Rather, we wanted to determine if self-efficacy and interest add incremental variance to choice actions after personality traits have been included.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the role of personality traits measured by the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire (MPQ; Tellegen, 2000 andTellegen and Waller, 2008) in selecting educational majors. Personality traits were examined alone, and with the combination of Holland's hexagonal confidence domains, as measured by the general confidence themes (GCT) of the Skills Confidence Inventory (SCI; Betz, Borgen, & Harmon, 2005), and Holland's interest domains, as measured by the general occupational themes (GOTs) of the 2005 Strong Interest Inventory (SII; Donnay, Morris, Schaubhut, & Thompson, 2005). Personality traits significantly contributed to the discrimination of nine educational major families in a sample of 368 undergraduate decided students. When the set of confidence and interest scales was added to the personality traits, the conservative jack knife hit rate was almost doubled.

“…We build on a long tradition in vocational psychology research highlighting the importance of congruence between objective skills and career choice (Betz & Rottinghaus, 2006;Campbell, 2002). Building on this logic, as well as the rationales for Hypotheses 1 and 3, we propose actual ability mediates the relationship between early calling during adolescence and career pursuit during adulthood, controlling for their contemporaneous perceived ability.…”

While making early career decisions in which pursuing what one loves and earning a secure living are at odds with one another, when and why will the intrinsic considerations prevail over the extrinsic considerations? We posit that a key factor in resolving this dilemma in favor of the intrinsic side of the career is the sense of calling, a consuming, meaningful passion people experience toward the domain. We test the connection between early callings (in adolescence) and later career pursuit (in adulthood) and the mediating role of perceived and actual abilities (in young adulthood) in a career context in which the intrinsic and extrinsic sides of a career can clash: the path to become a professional musician. In an 11-year 5-wave longitudinal study of 450 amateur high school musicians progressing from adolescence to adulthood, we found that regardless of their actual musical ability, people with stronger early callings were likely to perceive their abilities more favorably, which led them to pursue music professionally. Our findings thus indicate an intriguing pattern in which the experience of stronger early callings led to greater perceived ability that was not reflected in greater actual ability. Perceived ability, rather than objective ability as assessed by awards won in music competitions, led to subsequent career pursuit. We discuss implications for theory and research on the nature and consequences of calling, as well as for career decision making, both in general and in challenging career contexts in particular.

“…Several studies have examined the demographic factors and personal which may influence the choice of professional and educational guidance. Among the personal factors, the level of general ability (10), culture or cultural status (11), values and principles (12), self-esteem (13) selfefficacy (14), interests (14), personality [15] are decisive factors in the choice of the vocational and educational guidance of pupils. Among the demographic factors , the work of the parent (16), the level of study of the parents (17), ethnic origins (11), as well as the socioeconomic status, gender, and age of the student (10).…”

Abstract-This work focuses on the use of mult i-criteria decision-making method AHP for using in educational and vocational guidance. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), proposed by the mathematician Thomas Saaty in 1980, is a method of analysis greatly used in the context of a mult i-criteria analysis; it allows the comparison and the choice between the preset options. To achieve this goal, a vital work, preceded the use of the AHP method, which consists in doing a prototyping of trades according to the guidance criteria and sub-criteria. The IT system based on this method allo ws the student to find, firstly, the activities' sectors which are the most appropriate to his/her profile, to choose subsequently the trades and finally, to identify, the potential training paths.
