“…The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale-used to measure students' global self-esteem. This instrument is one of the most widely used to measure self-esteem in research settings (Raes & Gucht, 2009;Emmanuelle, 2009;Pullmann & Allik, 2008;Salmero-Aro & Nurmi, 2007). The focuses of this instrument is on people's general feelings toward themselves, without referring to any specific quality or attribute.…”

This study focuses on testing the moderating effects based on gender, academic performance, faculty and residential setting based on Self-Action-Outcome (SAO) model that was developed by the researchers. This model examined the relationship between self-esteem, job-search intensity and career decision-making self-efficacy among undergraduate students. Several instruments were used to develop this model were, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Job-Search Intensity Scale, and Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale. Cluster sampling procedure was used in recruiting the participants. Data were collected using a self-reported questionnaire from 678 undergraduate students and were tested with confirmatory factor analysis to obtain three best-fit measurement models from the three latent variables. The results showed that gender, academic performance, faculty and residential setting did not moderate the hypothesized SAO model which means that the hypothesized SAO model is a good model for undergraduate students. Implications of the findings for social work practice such as guidance counsellor, research, theory, policy and education were also discussed.

“…For example, it was found that the closer children feel to their parents and the better their relationship, the easier it is for them to make career-related decisions (Emmanuelle, 2009). Supportive parents who express confidence in their child's abilities have been shown to help the child to engage in career exploration activities (Kracke & Noack, 2005), adapt better to academic life (Cutrona, Cole, Colangelo, Assouline, & Russell, 1994), and positively affect their offspring's coping with the acquisition of skills that reduce stress at university (Walker & Satterwhite, 2002).…”

This study compared the congruence between chosen occupation and vocational personality with the congruence between chosen occupation and parent's occupation, investigating the effects of regulatory focus, career self-efficacy, and parental support. Gender differences were also explored. A sample of 260 undergraduate students completed questionnaires measuring their own and their parent's vocational personality type, the quality of the parent-child relationship, and their own career self-efficacy and regulatory focus. Vocational congruence was calculated by C-index. The results show that regulatory focus of promotion and both low and high self-efficacy were related to a significantly higher level of congruence between chosen occupation and vocational personality than between chosen occupation and parent's occupation. However, none of the variables was found to explain the level of congruence between vocational personality and chosen occupation, and no relationship was found between vocational congruence and satisfaction with the chosen profession. The findings indicate the importance of vocational inclinations over parental influence and personality traits in occupational choice. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
