“…self-efficacy and occupational/career commitment. Even though a high dependency between self-efficacy and CIS in the light of previous studies (Saka, Gati, 2007) has been proven, it does not mean that the same can be said about occupational commitment and CIS. It can be explained by the fact that nowadays the procrastination of schoolto-work transition is a result of the inability to recognize institutions that are career fields for an individual to exercise one's career readiness (Markstrom, et al 1998).…”

“…First of all, indecisiveness is identity based, i.e. its roots are in excessive self-criticism in relation to an individual's resources from anxiety, shyness and depression (Saka and Gati, 2007). A second source of indecisiveness can be a lack of environmental resources like poverty as well as too many options to choose from, as is in the case of having to pick a career path without a sense of calling for a particular profession (Duffy and Sedlacek, 2007).…”

“…The developmental mechanism of indecisiveness points to an inevitable forming of a temporary inability to make important life decisions that require an individual to recognize values in his/her life-span (Saka and Gati 2007 Functional indecisiveness is an applied psychology of doing nothing not in the category of "how?" but "when?".…”

“…Following the lead of former studies (Saka, Gati, 2007) the hypothesis of a significant impact of identity statuses development on procrastination underwent verification. The correlations between adulthood statuses measured by the DIDS scale (Brzezińska, Piotrowski, 2010) and career indecision types (measured by the CIS scale) as well as the results obtained from the stepwise regression analyses, in which the predictors of career indecision were 5 adulthood statuses have shown that both measures can be treated as equivalent to the measurement of adulthood development level and the level of achieved identity capital (Côté, 2002;Patton, Creed, 2001).…”

Procrastination as putting off until tomorrow what one had intended to do today is well-known tendency in everyday life. In an attempt to understand the character of procrastination in different life-domains, a large body of research has been accumulated over the last decades. This article was aimed to evaluate a specific decisional procrastination of school-to-work transition (SWT) that is treated as maturity postponement. Two studies are reported examining SWT procrastination defined as career indecision among Polish students graduating universities. In Study 1 (N=366), attitudinal and identity statuses were analyzed as correlates of career procrastination. A path analysis conducted for the model, which was aimed to explain the influence of career self-efficacy and occupational commitment on career indecision (dependent variable), revealed its very good fitness (RMSEA=.000). Those two independent variables explain 10% of career indecision variance. Stepwise multiple regression analyses conducted to ascertain relationship of five identity statuses (Brzezińska, Piotrowski, 2010) to procrastination measure (career indecision) showed that Commitment Making and Ruminative Exploration are strongest predictor variables. In study 2 (N=157), the stepwise multiple regression analyses conducted to ascertain the independent relationship of each of Big Five personality factor revealed that Neuroticism and Extraversion accounts of the most of explained variance of school-to-work transition procrastination.

This article presents a comprehensive review of literature published between 2000 and 2017 relating to the theoretical and empirical progress of indecision structural models and assessment. Because career indecision remains a central topic for counseling, it is important for the field to achieve an updated understanding of relevant models and measurement. Based on their review, the authors found that factors of career indecision can be reliably and validly measured by three instruments: the Career Decision Difficulties Questionnaire, the Emotional and Personality Career Difficulties scale, and the Career Indecision Profile. Drawing from these results, the authors developed an integrative model of career indecision consisting of five factors: neuroticism/negative affectivity, choice/commitment anxiety, need for information, lack of readiness, and interpersonal conflicts. Implications and recommendations for practice and research are discussed in a global context.

The authors investigated the impact of emotional intelligence on 2 career decision variables: daily career decision self‐efficacy and daily career choice anxiety. They also examined the mediating effects of daily positive affect on these variables. At baseline, 103 Korean undergraduate and graduate students completed questionnaires about emotional intelligence. Using a daily diary method, the authors also collected data on participants’ daily positive affect, daily career decision self‐efficacy, and daily career choice anxiety for 21 consecutive days. Hierarchical linear model analyses indicated that emotional intelligence predicted daily career decision self‐efficacy and daily career choice anxiety. These findings suggest that fostering emotional intelligence and daily positive affect could help students determine their future career. For individuals experiencing difficulty in the career decision process, counselors may foster career decision self‐efficacy and reduced career choice anxiety via enhancing clients’ emotional intelligence and daily positive affect.
