“…Career decisions among graduates are in􀅫luenced by interpersonal, internal, external, institutional, and socio-demographic factors, in accordance with the model of job choice developed by Purohit et al (2020). Additionally, a study by Karaca et al (2016) found that a social worker's career choice may be in􀅫luenced by family in􀅫luence, personal preference, personality structure, income potential, job security, and career opportunities.…”

Along with other skills, an adolescent need to develop adequate decision-making skills as several important decisions that will have an impact on their future will be taken during this period. One such important decision that needs to be taken is regarding academic and career choices. Most of these choices are in􀅫luenced by cognitive factors or emotional factors. Keeping in view the prior research gaps, the aim of this paper is to explore the shared cognitive and emotional factors in􀅫luencing adolescents career choices living in small city. In depth interviews were taken from ten higher secondary school students studying at different colleges in Multan through a convenient sampling technique. Data were analyzed with the help of thematic analysis. Semantic and inductive approach was used to generate themes. Results of the study revealed the autonomy in career choice, stigmas attached with the career choice, individual factors in career choice, and impact of the program on mental and emotional health. It was observed that male students were given a choice in terms of their career as compared to females. Also, male students were more con􀅫ident and stress-lived as they opted for their desired careers. On the contrary female students feel depressed, helpless and reported emotional and mental health issues due to the unavailability of career choices and forced career on them. The study helped in understanding the impact of program of the study on students cognitive and emotional health. It can be implied from the present study that gender differences still prevail in our education system. Due to scarcity of career options available and the pressure to get admission from the parents in prestigious institutes are making adolescents compromise on their mental and emotional health. Therefore, a career guidance plan should be introduced in education policy for adolescents' mental health. Also, it was also the 􀅫irst study which supported the concept of shared cognitive and emotional experiences.

“…Similarly, policymakers and industrialists are probing the fit of PhD to the endusers need in modern knowledge-driven economies (Barnacle et al, 2019). Supporting the view that herding leads individuals to ignore various better available alternatives (Karaca et al, 2016), this study finds it critical to understand the role of herding in increasing enrolment of students in doctoral education for helping them avoid its opportunity cost.…”

“…Career decisions, at large, are driven by ‘herding’ due to individuals' natural tendency to get influenced by various external factors such as personal (e.g., prior academic performance, information), social (e.g., family pressure), and labour market specific (e.g., job opportunities), and economic/financial (Aymans et al., 2020; Fouad et al, 2016; Karaca et al., 2016). The term ‘herding’ refers to individuals' psychological tendency to behave the way everyone else is doing even when their personal information suggests doing something quite different (Banerjee, 1992).…”

“…However, herding is inevitable (Cote & Goodstein, 1999) despite being an unhealthy and biased way of making decisions (Komalasari et al., 2021). While making educational decisions, herding may put individuals at a disadvantage if they stick to a specific profession while ignoring other better alternatives for their careers (Karaca et al., 2016). It may also lead to unrealistic expectations about educational and career outcomes.…”

Fresh PhD recipients are experiencing restricted career opportunities yet the enrolment of PhD Scholars is increasing rapidly. Perhaps, doctoral students lack conscious educational decision-making. Building on such a perspective of doctoral students' unconscious educational choices, we explored their educational choices throughout their life trajectory. We started with a qualitative inquiry of 18 different PhD scholars in Pakistan. The findings helped us in developing a measure to determine the extent of herding in doctoral students' educational decisions. We 'benefitted from' this opportunity and validated the scale in two separate quantitative inquiries for conducting an exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The study concluded a 3-dimensional scale (consisting of 15items) for measuring 'herding in educational decisions'. The study offers certain implications for conscious educational decisions. Doctorat frais les récipiendaires connaissent des opportunités de carrière restreintes, mais ils'inscris au doctorat. Le nombre d'universitaires augmente rapidement. Peut-être que les doctorants manquent de prise de décision consciente en matière d'éducation. Partant d'une telle perspective des choix éducatifs inconscients des doctorants, nous avons exploré leurs choix éducatifs tout au long de leur trajectoire de vie. Nous avons commencé

“…With the transition of the Chinese higher education system from elitism to popularization in the past two decades (L. Zhang et al., 2021), the role of social class in undergraduates’ career development or guidance has attracted increasing research attention (Liang & Lee, 2012). To date, other than in a few empirical studies (e.g., Wang et al., 2019), social class has often been explored as a control variable in understanding career development (e.g., Karaca et al., 2016). Although controlling for social class may yield less biased results, the mechanisms among research variables cannot be addressed regarding if social class could moderate the relationships (Diemer et al., 2013).…”

Based on career construction theory, this study examined the contribution of career adaptability to career choice satisfaction, with career decision‐making self‐efficacy as a mediator and socioeconomic status as a moderator. Nine hundred and fourteen Chinese final‐year undergraduates were recruited. The results revealed that career adaptability directly influenced career choice satisfaction and indirectly through career decision‐making self‐efficacy, with some specific differences based on socioeconomic status. Particularly, the cooperation dimension of career adaptability was found to be negatively related to career choice satisfaction only among undergraduates with higher socioeconomic status. The findings have implications for research on career construction theory as well as for career education and counseling practices in universities.
